Dralion - Cirque du Soleil London

[richard3330]

We just returned this afternoon from 2 nights in London, having watched Dralion on Saturday night at The Royal Albert Hall.

I know that there are a few people going soon so I just thought I'd let you know that is was FANTASTIC ! You'll have a super time. If you saw Saltimbanco last year or Quidam the year before and liked them, then you're going to love this one! IMO it's the best show yet (although joint with 'O' in Las Vegas ) There's a bit of a surprise for one of the audience members who spends more time on stage than in their seat !! The acts are superb and it's just incredible how they do some of them. The 'dralions' are great.

Have a great time if you're going soon

Richard

P.S. Stop by Harrods is you have time - they were still giving out free warm, just baked, melt-in-your-mouth Krispy Kreme doughnuts this morning and on Saturday - delicious! We couldn't leave without buying a few boxes to take home!

Ooh thanks for that Richard - we are going on Sunday 1 Feb. We saw Saltimbanco last year and really enjoyed that too

Just have to save up and get to Vegas now.....

We're going on Jan 30th and I can't wait
It's strange because I can't bear clowns, acrobats, jugglers and like but I love Cirque du Soleil La Nouba was one of the highlights of our trip to Orlando.

I managed to see Allegria on BBC4 (I think) over Christmas so hopefully they might show some of the others. I'd love to see O but in a toss up between Las Vegas and WDW you know who always wins

Excellent show! Weird and wonderful and it all just went too quickly for me, particularly the second half.

I don't prefer it to the other shows I've seen but yet again, Cirque manage to produce something unique to marvel at. ( I certainly preferred watching them at the Albert Hall to the big top at Battersea, but then we had a terrific view from our seats !)

hey
we went on 24th jan to Royal Albert Hall to see CduS. had front circle seats and found the show to be incredible. a bit chinese state circus feel to it. Fancy joining the show as a singer and being suspended on wires in the middle of the stage whilst singing in a gorgeous costume!!

Saw Saltimbanco last january at RAH and was astounded by the brilliance of the cast.

that's La Nouba. Saltibanco. Allegria and Dralion we've seen now and they're all fantastic.

if you're going to to orlando this year please book to see La Nouba' --blow the cost --- it's worth every pennny--you won't be disappointed!!!!!
