Cirque du Soleil, for the unfortunate ones who haven't seen it live, is one of the best shows anyone, of any age, can see!! Alegria, in particular, is the closest of a perfect show: costumes, music, artists... You leave your seat and you want to come back!!
The DVD manages to bring to the screen all the magic, with the genuine intention of not trying to substitute the live show! However, with the DVD you can have the backstage, which is fabulous!! Recommended for children of heart and spirit!!
We recently went to see this show live and although this can't capture the live experience it is still an excellent performance and well worth watching. My only critisism would be that some of the camera work isn't that good, it would be better filmed from a fixed vantage point in my opinion, so you can see all thats going on. Still very good though!
