For the most part O was a great show as long as it stuck to its core of acrobatics, artistry and diving. When it deviated from that path it seemed almost confusing. There were definite characters and character types but we could never really figure out what the story was or if there was even a story. With Zumanity, they didn't try to perpetuate a storyline outside of each scene which made it easier to follow and less confusing. The set was absolutely amazing with the floor that lowered in sections to create pools of different sizes and depths. One moment they would be diving in the water from 100 feet and then the next they would be able to walk in or on the same area of water.
Their were two clowns that provided "comic" relief during set/costume changes. They were on the roof of a floating house. They were horrible and not funny at all! Their comedy was so repetitive and you wished they would just hurry up and get on with the show.
All in all I think I liked Zumanity better but I'm unsure if that was because it was my first Cirque show or if O was just so over hyped.
The verdict:
Stephanie: 3.5 Stars
Darren: 2 Stars
(On a scale of 1-5)
