It may not be good, but its definately not the worst. a few weeks ago i saw it with my sister, and we thought it was pretty good. The costumes and makeup were fantastic, and I liked the characterization of it. But it's not exactly something that I'd see again.
There are a few Cirque shows I've seen and didnt like. Delirium, Wintuk, and Ka. But I have to say that Banana Spheel was the worst show I've ever seen period. Just bad entertainment that doesnt hold your attention. People were actually walking out despite priceof the tickets in this economy.
sucks annaleigh is no longer apart of it, would of loved to see her in someone were she dancers more because she is so good! ohwell, something better will come along.
This is great. I saw the show tonight and it needs Annaleigh's talent DESPERATELY!! It is a horrible hodge podge with NOTHING at all holding it together. And aside from the four actual cirque acts, there is no talent anywhere near Ashford's! The "director", David Shiner, should be ashamed of himself!!!
They left because, and this is from an actual article, the writers wanted less story, more fun, and less characters. Annaleigh and Michael's story was too complicated so they were let go. Its a shame though, I'd go just to hear this song, its amazing!
Huh, that's strange... I could swear I've heard the tune before... But I have no idea where. @.@'' Not the Tap Dancing or any of that, but the singing is really familiar.
But yeah, it's a bummer that they bumped her part out.
she left because she was being asked to co write her own vocal lines and other parts, and was told she would be given any writing credit for doing so, also she felt she was not being respected by the creators..
That's pretty strange seeing as her agent reported her as being 'shocked' when she found she was being cut. Either way it sucks that some true talent has left this crapfest production.
Lookin' good, Annaleigh!! Man, I am so excited for this! Not only is it a Cirque and guaranteed to be amazing just for the fact, but HELLO, it's Annaleigh Ashford! And here was I, so worried I'd never see her...!
This clip is fantastic.. I Live in Vegas and work for Cirque and it is just amazing if you are in chicago land area go see it... or NYC get tickets asap.... congrats to Annaleigh Ashford...
