Had the opportunity to go watch Cirque Du Soleil’s “ZED” today, and I have to say that it was probably the best Cirque show that I have seen yet.  I’ve never been to a Cirque show (I’ve been to several) that I didn’t like but I definitely thought that the performances in ZED were amazing.  I won’t say much more because I would hate to spoil the show but for those who have never seen it I definitely recommend it.  In fact, if you’ve never seen a Cirque show, then you’re missing out.  There’s Cirque shows going on all over the place.  In fact, I know that there is show, “Corteo” playing in Tokyo, and for all of you in the Bay Area, there’s one playing in San Francisco.

The venue for ZED was also really nice, and being that it was right next to Tokyo Disneyland, made it even better.  Didn’t get to go into the actual park but all the decorations and illuminations during this time of the year was really fun to see.

Anyway, I can tell why a lot of my friends are in Cirque.  It’s a great way to continue to keep performing after retiring.  It must also be really fun to be able to perform in front of such a large crowd!

Cirque often goes around the world to recruit people for their shows.  If you’re an athlete, artist, performer and are interested check out their site here!
