wow. this really works. i had an equal number of answers for each, except the one cirque show i have seen and not liked. this is a valid quiz in my opinion.
So I got both Mystere and Love. I don't know if this works since I haven't seen a Cirque show in a very long time. I really want to see O so i don't know.
It's very peculiar how the Cirque shows can have an overarching signature to their performances, and yet each and every one is so different and unique. I personally want to see them all just so that I can actually appreciate the differences between them all.
Well as I wanted to pick every answer but SUV...clearly I need to see every Cirque show. But I think after re-looking at everything I should probably see Mystere, though not by much. Whatever - I'll just be happy to see ANY Cirque show...hopefully next year!!
As Peter said, it works! O and KA are my first two options among all Cirque's shows in Vegas. And, I got O as a result of these questions thought my second is Mystere. I wonder if the person creating this quiz is paid by sort of show or travel agent. Otherwise, how could he think of doing it?
This is a very smart marketing strategy for people to know more about their taste and Cirque shows, and might just raise enough curiosity for people to buy tickets and see if the quiz was right.
I'd say it's fairly close to being right. It pegged me as a tie between O and Mystere, which are both shows that I love. I mean I would probably have made a few more questions so there would be more room to differentiate, but maybe that's just because I'm easily torn since they all have a different draw to them. Meh.
its interesting how most of us have an even number of answers but i think any cirque show would be good to go and see, though I love the descriptions of the shows at the end, I am not sure the quiz is the greatest thing...
I got Ka, which definitely makes sense to me. But I agree with Sarah, I'll see whatever show I can!
I love have Cirque Shows are so themed and really intend to hit a person in a certain way. Having never actually seen one, its hard for me to say specifically, but they really seem to be focused on one particular emotion set. Generally, I'm not a fan of quizzes like this, because the answer is never quite there or too many seem right. So for this quiz, i had lots of multiple answers, which I guess fits because i know I would really love to see any Cirque show.
I got Mystere, O, and Love which I find somewhat amusing. I’ve seen Mystere and it was fine but Zummanity was the show I found most entertaining and artistic, and I didn’t get a single answer for it. It is interesting that the Cirque shows in Vegas each have a distinct theme and there is no overlap meaning none of their shows really compete with each other. I guess that’s just a really good job of the artistic and marketing staff of Cirque. Good job.
I’m not at all surprised by my two way tie between Ka and Love. Ka has the most automation and love is the Beatles…need I say more. This is a very accurate test. I wonder who came up with test and why it was in the Pittsburgh Tribune. Seems like something that would be better suited for a Vegas hotel information desk. It’s a good marketing campaign for cirque though, all the questions the test asks sound quit lovely with in themselves. It makes you think your going to get all those things from a cirque show.
hummm...I got Zummanity....would love to see it, but first and foremost is Ka. Obviously, each show is different in atmosphere and vibe, but I think there are other ways to describe them besides "I like to dance" and "backpack through Europe"
i realize that there are a lot of cirque shows right now, but they left out many great choices. they shouldn't have left out the touring shows... :( i find i like the concepts behing them better than some of the resident ones in vegas...
Hilariously accurate. Ka is the show i've wanted to see most (beatles anyone?) and its design is absolutely intriguing (not to say that any of them aren't...). But for me the problem wouldn't be choosing the show once i was in vegas, it would be choosing to go to vegas? Cirque has defintely done a fantastic job gathering itself a following.
I have yet to be unimpressed with any cirque show that I have seen. I have also had some idea of what to expect in terms of atmosphere and style from every show; however, this quiz seems to be able to take qualities from each show and specifically assign them to individual tastes. I guess I would agree with my results, but I think I also would have accepted "any show" as an answer.
good god. we theatre people are so silly. the cirque shows are radically different, and so are people, so i suppose this works on some level. But it's all about what you bring to the performance you see, and how it speaks to you as an individual...okay i just argued every reason why this quiz is justified and works...damnit.
