Mystere Review


Mystère takes audiences on an Alice and Wonderland-like journey, where the end seems like the beginning. Opening with drums, it ascends with flutelike sounds and soaring vocals. Then the journey unfolds a wide palette of brilliant colors and more richly textured sound. The custom-designed, acoustically-tuned theatre of Mystere fills all horizontal and vertical angles of your eyes and ears with an international cast of 70 plus dancers, singers, musicians, puppet-masters and acrobats, so get seats in the middle for full effect.

From the most graceful dancers and trapeze acts to the least significant imps who beguilingly wander on and off sets, the lavish costumes and riveting sets drape you in this theatrical circus of the bizarre. Even the perky clown, captures your imagination between acts when he tosses objects in the crowd, makes whimsical utterances and does other funny things you'd least expect. In fact, the clown typifies Cirque du Soleil’s trademark element of surprise. Though its storyline is surreal and draws the occasional, “why did they do that”, it never drifts to the absurd.

Watch as aerial acrobats catapult above the stage without a net for hand-to-hand and hand-to-leg catches that require the utmost in concentration, precision, timing and years of trust. Your mouth will be agape as they confidently pass within inches of each other executing imaginative and dangerous acts high above you. Without revealing too many specifics, this aerial ballet that makes “Wow” a constant word in your vocabulary.

As the oldest Cirque du Soleil production in Las Vegas and named “Best Production Show" show eight times, it is justly credited with changing the face of high-end Las Vegas entertainment. Even today with great competition on the Strip, Mystère never ceases to dazzle with its generous dollops of artistry and performers that will have you standing up to cheer. A show so nice, many see it twice. And the longer you listen to its hypnotic music, the longer Mystère will pleasantly haunt your memory. Why not extend the memory by purchasing the Mystère CD after the show or at anytime in the Cirque du Soleil gift shop.
