no, I haven't seen any others, but I have the cd for Alegria if that counts (I also have it for La Nouba)
i really want to see one, i think its called "O", and its all done in the water. its in las vegas or something...
but if anyone of you are ever in Orlando, go see La Nouba, it is fantastic!

I've seen most of their shows. My favorite is probably Mystere, which is a permanent show in Vegas.

I really enjoyed Quidam. The music from it is especially nice.

"O" is the best in my opinion, and I have seen "KA" and "Mysterere" as well...

I've only seen two, "O" and Mystere, and out of those two, "O" was better in my opinion. It was amazing!

"O" is stunning! That was the first Cirque show I saw and everything since then pales in comparison.

I've seen Quidam, Mystere and Dralion. Quidam was my favorite. Probably going to see La Nouba this summer and hope to see O at the end of the year.

NONE! I used to love CDS, but when they fired Matthew Cusick in 2002 for being HIV+, I stopped supporting them. Even though the case was settled and they offered him his job back, they only did it 'cause of legal pressure and bad publiciity.

So sad...

I have heard that "O" is supposed to be phenominal. I can only imagine putting something together that is all in the water.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music from Alegria!

I have seen Allegria, Quidam, Verakai and I think Ka (it was televised live and I caught it from vegas) and Dralion. My favorite is Quidam so far. I worked for them when the Dralion tour came through Denver. I have never had so much fun on a job!

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music from Alegria! "

same here! the title song ("alegria") is one of my most favorite non-broadway songs ever! its beautiful, and so inspiring. and i love that one, its like song #7, or something, and it goes "la da da da, la da, da da". yeah, that song makes me happy. :)

My favorite music is from Dralion and Quidam. Verakai's music is nice also.

I saw Corteo in October. It was pretty good, but I liked Alegria better. I've seen La Nuba, too.

I've only seen "O" in Vegas a few years back, but it was awesome. It's all done in the water, and I love how the the stage as a whole or parts of it will rise and fall to either fill with water or become land.

I've only seen a few, but I always go back to Vegas to see "O" and "Mystere". I love "O" and everyone else other than my cousin liked it alot. Plus the music is great.
