Me too. I'm curious about the medusa act, I've never seen it. Or the aerial hoop.

I saw it it three times. I saw it on two consecutive days with Cristian Zavala AND a NON working soleil tilt wheel. Then I saw it a third time a month later with Agnes Sohier and Cristian Zavala AND a WORKING soleil tilt wheel.
I had already watched the DVD so I knew the wheel wasn't working. It was perhaps a better show than it might otherwise had been. Because of the "lack" all the performers were at a fever pitch in their quality of performance. The work arounds for the "lack" were different in both sequential shows and very interesting and inspired. In the first show they'd thought they were going to get it working up to 15 minutes before the show started. Lanterne at the beginning of the second act is also something you'd enjoy elenarumeurs.

I really like the music for Lanterne but apart from that I know nothing about that act I'd love to have seen it.

Dralion is my second favorite show, after La Nouba. I think it gets unfairly labeled as the ugly duckling of the original Cirque shows. The music is truly out of this world (there's not a bad song, even 'Medusa' is tolerable). The whole Four Elements theme is well done and incorporated perfectly into the show. This is the most evident in the stunning costumes, which are remarkable to see live. Yes, the arena version was certainly watered down from the Big Top. But I really enjoyed it the two times I saw it. And, if Cirque ever does revive it, I'll be the first in line for tickets.

Unfortunately Dralion is my least favorite live show. (loved the DVD) But I fully agree the music is probably some of the best cirque has ever done.

So naturally both times I saw Dralion the handbalancing act was missing. Haha But, it was kind of okay because I got to hear Spiritual Spiral live
