Mixed feelings. On one hand, this is a huge production with incredible sets, and the performers are extremely talented. On the other hand, was there a story or was this just a series of unrelated performances? I thought it had a story, because the show started with an announcer giving a very brief story about twins. And that was it for the "story" ... there no further announcements or descriptions about what was being portrayed, and the actors/performers didn't have any lines to speak -- at least not in English (there was a lot of what just sounded like a bunch of gibberish). As a result, the show simply became a series of talented and clever -- but apparently completely unrelated -- acts. And the acts went on for a VERY long time, to the point that even though they demonstrated tremendous talent, they were all very similar and ultimately became ... boring. After an hour, I was checking my watch to see when it was going to end. And when it finally did end, it wasn't even a clear ending -- most people didn't even realize it was time to clap. Overall, I'd say the show is okay if you just want to watch similar performances for 1-1/2 hours. I would have rated it much better if either (a) they had a clear story line to draw you in, or (b) the performances were half as long and the show accordingly cost half the price.
