Cirque du Soleil starting new show at Tokyo Disney Resort

Wow, they are really branching out (11 shows simultaneously??!). I wonder if we'll ever see them at say, DCA? Or would that be too close to the Vegas market?

And if you are worried about an appropriate theme, how about gold miners and surfers jumping through hoops? ;)

Seeing as how there are already two (three?) in Vegas, I doubt they're concerned about over-saturating the market.

Jeff, there are now four in Vegas, if I recall correctly. KA, ZUMANITY, MYSTERE, and O.

I loved LA NOUBA at WDW in Orlando...and can only imagine what this new permanent show will bring.

Five if you count the Beatles show opening in 2006. ;)

So far I have seen Varekai and La Nouba which are both great shows. We already have tickets for Corteo when in is in Minneaopolis in September. For those who have only seen La Nouba, I think you would be blown away by Varekai as it is 100x's better. I wonder why they aren't just shipping La Nouba over there and giving WDW a new show. Also as someone mentioned, I heard rumors that DLR would be getting one soon as well.

Maybe its just me, but when I saw the one in Orlando I kept getting annoyed by how artsy it was. The live music is good, but I just wanted them to do cool stuff instead of waving their arms around for 12 minutes before each stunt. I did see it like 5 years ago, so age might have been a factor in my impacience.
