Lost River Delta - Mystic Rhythms
Now, my husband and I diverge when it comes to our opinions of this show. He truly enjoyed Mystic Rhythms and continued to hum the songs a good hour after we left the show. I, on the other hand, felt that it was trying too hard to copy Cirque Du Soleil. Perhaps I’m being too hard on the show, considering that this is a theme park, after all. However, given the quality of entertainment that Tokyo Disney Resort provides to its guests, I expected a bit more storyline and less corniness. Still, I believe that Tokyo Disney Resort has the entertainment formula, as a whole, solved and leaves behind the other Disney theme parks in the dust.
Mystic Rhythms is located in Lost River Delta, inside an abandoned hangar. Incorporating water, air, and fire, this show features sophisticated aerial performers and rope climbers, all set in a tropical rain forest. I still cannot quite figure out the story, but it seemed to focus on the environment’s cyclical transition from one season to another.
Percussion and contemporary music fills the auditorium throughout the performance, with live performers perched in the scaffolding along the sides of the stage. The majority of the action takes place on the stage, so try to find seats toward the center. The covered seating area allows guests to take a break from the weather and take a load off of their feet. Unlike Magic Lamp Theatre, cushioned seats are absent from this venue.
If your time is precious, this show lasts a long 25 minutes. You may want to consider skipping it until you know you have time to devote to it. Note that the Cast Members strictly stop attendance 5 minutes prior to the show’s start. So if you want to see the show, get there early.
