Iv'e been watching for Cirque du Soleil to return to NC and saw that it was coming to KY. They put on amazing shows if anyone is interested. Tickets are on sale now.

Highland Heights, KY
Bank of Kentucky Center
Oct 8 - Oct 12

Saltimbanco—from the Italian "saltare in banco," which literally means "to jump on a bench"—explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city.

I took my girlfriend to see Saltimbanco when they were in Champaign, IL.

We had never been to a live preformance, but had seen different ones on TV. Seeing it live is a whole different world, they are very very good. I left wanting to see more of the shows, I'd recommend it to anyone.:thumbup:

It's not the greatest economy to spend the bucks to go but we're interested. And since it's right around the corner basically at NKU, I'll let my wife decide for sure.

I'll be at DisneyWorld that week and already have tickets to see La Nouba. Ironic, Huh? I love the show, seen it three times. We've been thinking about vacationing in Las Vegas just because Cirque has 5 different shows out there.

I saw "Love" in Vegas and think it's the best show, of any kind, that I've ever seen.. of course being a Beatles fan sure helps.

I've seen their traveling show and while it's still incredible, nothing compares to what they can do out in the desert. Still worth the money though, I would advise anyone to go.

I saw "O" in Las Vegas last year. As I watched, I kept thinking...
There is no way they are really going to do that...They can't possibly do that...Oh my gosh, they did it!!! It was a mind boggling show. A little pricey but worth it.:thumbup:
