Thanks 4orm. We get to see it live for the first time in Feb so I didn't watch it....want to be surprised.

The recorded show doesn't do any justice whatsoever to the quality of La Nouba. In fact, watching the show on larger screen TV, it's somewhat nauseating because of the constant zoom-in/zoom-out/pan, spoilers upon spoilers in the beginning of the show, etc.

I watched the actual show before watching the recording, the recording is giving Cirque a bad name.

That's interesting. I'm not a big Cirque person (find what I've see of it, well, creepy) but I watched a few minutes of La Nouba on CBC last time it was on. I thought it was annoying and boring, and we changed the channel.

I'm really happy to hear that so many people find it entrancing and magical, though!

That is very true, the recorded version is beyond boring. If I watched the recorded version before watching them "live", I would've never bought the tickets.

I'm more than glad that I did bought those tickets... they are truly impressive, and I'm a person who's very extremely difficult to be impressed by anything at all.

Actually it was shot in collaboration with Columbia Pictures and stylistically, it's MTV style, which for a 3-minute music video is interesting but for a (close to) 2 hour show is just nauseating and boring to the point of comatose LOL

If you want a copy of that show, let me know. I highly NOT recommended it though. (puke inducing and all)
