Cirque du Soleil's Delirium is on at the O2 at the moment. So I got some tickets. I was expecting something really quite Dance and Energy, but it was more Prog Rock and Baron Munchausen and really quite amazing. There two screens, one either side of the stage and a translucent curtain across the stage much of the time, which had images, frames and effects projected onto it which added to the whole effect in some really cool ways.
The O2 is a pretty nice venue. I don't usually like big venues, but it's good. The facilities are really good, lots of bars and restaurants around the edges. Rather than just greasy hot-dog and burger catering, you can get a whole range of food from pizza, to steak, to sushi and bento, and chinese. So we had pizza before the entertainment and a little drinkie afterwards. All good stuff. And there are even plentiful loos (though the venue was only allowed to be 1/2 full for Delirium, so it might be different in a different configuration). Very good night out. Oh yes.
