Cirque Du Soliel: Dralion in Youngstown, Ohio
by TavB on 11/15/10Covelli Centre - YoungstownI was very excited to finally have the opportunity to see a Cirque Du Soliel Show. I have wanted to see one for years. I have seen several Cirque shows that were released on DVD or for cable television. I was very familiar with the "Dralion" show based on the television broadcast/DVD. Sad to say, with that reference in mind....the live show was left wanting. First, that sets/acts have changed, and do not reflect past sets that I have seen before. The actors and singers have changed as well (which is to be expected). The acts however, did not have the same wow, drama, story and skill which the recorded versions had. This show seemd watered down, to sum it up the best. At the end of the evening, I was dissapointed and felt cheated in some way of my preconception. The Covelli Center however was a nice venue for this event. Seating was wonderful, however I reccomend not buying floor seats, more expensive and not the best view. It would be better to be up in the stands. I moved at the intermission and all seats were great from that point.
