Very disappointing
by InfernoAGoGo on 10/11/10James L Knight Center - MiamiI was really looking forward to this event. I am extremely disappointed and wish I could get my $111.00 back. The price of the seats I was in was exorbitant. I was up in the nose-bleed section and could barely see the stage. The show itself was extremely disappointing as well. The contortionist and the poi drummers were great, but overall, the show was lackluster, confusing and disorganized. I understand that this is a Spanish troupe, but almost the entire show was in Spanish, leaving the non-Spanish speakers in the audience lost and feeling left out despite having paid the same amount for our tickets. Some type of translation would have been appropriate and it was obvious that the actors did speak English, because a few lines were in English and then they would switch to Spanish and just stay there. The music was terrible, the sound quality was awful, switching from low volume to high volume at odd times with static from the speaker that was right behind my head, the costumes were hokey and looked like they were bought at the Spirit Halloween costume store. I ended up leaving at intermission because I was so disappointed, and I ended up walking out with quite a few other people who were unhappy as well. There were alot of people in the lobby during intermission complaining that they were confused and disappointed and that they couldn't understand what was going on because it was all in Spanish. I really do want a refund. This was ridiculous, in a bad way.
