We guess Criss Angel and crew couldn’t fix the problems that came to light during the ill-received previews!
On Halloween night, Criss Angel Belive by Cirque du Soleil officially premiered at the Luxor in Las Vegas.
Based on the Las Vegas press’ reaction, we think we’ll save our money for something more worthy:
That — among its many, more obvious failings — is the fatal flaw at the heart of “Criss Angel: Believe.”
There’s just no wonder in it.
In fact, there’s shockingly little magic to be seen in this much-anticipated Cirque du Soleil spectacle constructed around a celebrity magician. No shock, no awe, precious little surprise, even.
Cirque throws everything in its considerable arsenal of stage genius at Angel — the expected array of lush, loud music, expert dancers and aerialists, lavish settings and boundary-breaking special effects, all intended to amaze.
The single most amazing thing about “Believe” is that it’s still so boring.
For a reported $100 million, Cirque has bought itself its first bona fide bomb.
OUCH!
Bona fide bomb?!
