I took my friend Liz to the show and we had a great time. Unfortunately the show wasn't as good as I was hoping. I really wouldn't consider it a TRUE Cirque show. On a technical difficulty scale, they ranked OFF THE CHARTS. Some of the projection stuff, lasers, lights, music, props was truly remarkable. On the creative side, I would give it a "C minus." It didn't really have a congruent story other than, "this is this guy's dream." And the venue was weird, too. I'm just too spoiled by travelling Cirque shows, let alone the resident ones with their plush seats, etc. I think if the tickets wouldn't have been so expensive that I would have different feelings. Let me put it this way: if someone went last night and saw Delirium and they have NEVER before seen a Cirque du Soleil show, I don't know that they would make an effort to go and see another.
Here's an article from the Seattle Times about Delirium. I think they really sum it up best. Check it out here.
