I’ve wanted to go to a Cirque Du Soleil performance for nearly twelve years. I didn’t even know that this show would be in Florida when I made the trip reservations.I only saw advertising for it after I had arrived, and immediately pulled it up on my phone to see when they were performing. This was their first location, and it was spectacular.
I remember watching late night re-runs of previously recorded Cirque Du Soleil shows, and thinking that it was so cool that the “main character” wasn’t the prettiest person. For a kid in high school not feeling to confident in their looks or abilities, seeing someone who wasn’t the “leading lady” or “leading man” type as the main character was something that I really needed.

By all means, support the performers by purchasing official merchandise, but it’s so much more meaningful to have something that reminds you of where you’ve been, what you saw and experienced than just a thing.
