Ovo was amazing! I think it would be impossible to pinpoint my favorite part: the costumes, the music, the acrobatics, it was all equally stunning.I'll start with the costumes. They were great. The colors were incredible, and the attention to detail was unbelievable. Since the show was based on insects and insect life, the costumes ranged from grasshoppers to flies to spiders and everything in between. Those that were not dressed as specific insects were colorful and creative enough to pass.
The music was great, too. I liked that the musicians were visible and became a part of the show during some scenes. The woman who sang was amazing. One of my overall favorite songs of the night was called "Legs." I can't find a link to embed it, but if you want to hear it you can click here to listen on the Cirque du Soleil site.
The stunts and acrobatics themselves were amazing. Some were cool and interesting, and some were really freakish. The flexibility and strength it takes to perform with Cirque is truly incredible.
Overall, I really enjoyed the night and I'm so glad I finally went. The tickets are a bit expensive, but the tour only comes along every couple years, so it's not the end of the world. I think I'll have to see a different themed show before deciding whether I'll become a Cirque regular!
Last week Cirque Du Soleil announced their fall tour schedule, and Atlanta made the list! Ovo will open on November 4, 2010, and since they generally only visit every other year, I'll be sure to get my tickets early!
