It is no secret that I am a big Cirque Du Soleil fan. The first show I saw was the inoffical show from Dragone called Le Reve, which is currently shown at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Casino.
It is to this day my favorite Cirque Show to date. I have seen all but three alright which are Zumanity, Mystere and Love. And it will be 4 shows I have not seen in April this year. Why? That’s Why. I play again with the Idea to hop over to Montreal/Canada on a weekend in April or May to see it.
I had the ticket, opening week (day 3 or 4), last front-row seat in my basket. But it knew that I could not go, because Canada is not part of the United States (yet) and I have currently no travel documents thus can leave but not get back in to go home (It is as ridiculis as it sounds, trust me).
Well things changed a bit. The situation still sucks, but it seems that I will be able to get travel documents again at the end of March, beginning of April. Mhh.. What did “The Clash” say? …. “should I stay or should I go?”
I am undecided. While I am thinking about it, check out this video which I found at YouTube.com. It uis about 9 minutes long and shows several scenes from the show. It also introduces each of the main theme songs.
Did I mention that the music of Le Reve is just great and also the best from all Cirque shows in my opinion? No? Well, it is and I own the CD (surprise), the original, not a copy.
You know, the one you have to buy for money and not creditz (kudos, if you understood that one). The only other soundtrack that comes close is the one from the Cirque Du Soleil “Touring Show” called Varekai
Varekai is also one of my favorite shows.

Hey, love your Blog. Thanks for all the details about Cirque. I am a fan too. saw the first show for free like you when they first came to London in ….Mmmmm must have been 1989??? You probably know better than me right? Saw Drac years ago and just saw Allegria at the Royal Albert hall a few weeks ago. Unbeleivable. Great venue.
Hi Ursie, if you ever make it to Las Vegas, then you will have the time of your life with 5 official and 1 unofficial cirque show running. The latter is LeReve which is my favority and I highly recommend it. After that I would say KA , then O then Mystere. I haven’t seen LOVE and Zumanity yet to tell you where I would squeeze them in, but from what I heard will those two fight together with Mystere for the last 3 spots :)
Hey, thank you! Cirque shows are great and unique, I share your attitude.
Seen Le Reve, Ka and O. If someone asks me what to choose – i'd say choose La Reve for adults and Ka if you would like to skip any part of sensuality (why going to Vegas then?).
How did you manage to get Le Reve OST? didn't buy it in the offline shop at Wynn and miss the tarcks badly. Great lyrics, great themes. Is there any way to get it online?
Thank you.
Hi Rashid,
The Le Reve OST can be purchased from the Wynn Gift Shop via the Phone. They do not have a website.
I posted the information and phone number at the end of my post about the Cirque music releases and also at my Cirque du Soleil primer article.
Cheers!
