I went to see Cirque Du Soleil perform Varekai at the Royal Albert Hall the other day. I'd wanted to see it for some time, but had always baulked at £60+ tickets. Eventually however, Lastminute.com came up with a 'half price, best tickets in the house' deal, so we went.A terrific spectacle, faultlessly executed and totally engrossing is how I would describe it. A truly successful refresh of a tired genre. And therein is the source of my slight disappointment. Whichever way you look at it, it's still just a circus, with a recognisable circus format. And definitely not worth £60 a ticket.
But if you can get £30 seats and fancy an evening of escapism, then put it on your list.
