For me, Cirque Du Soleil La Nouba was one of the best acrobatic shows I have ever seen in my life. They were just phenomenal. We had the best seats just two rows from the stage. We made the reservation a month ahead since the tickets are usually sold out before the show. We paid around $82 per person, which was really nothing for such a great show. Everyone would love this show, with 2 hours of ultimate entertainment.

The show started with some clowns, which were not that funny to me. I thought for a while, "Am I wasting my time watching these clowns?" Then there was more: cycles show, aerial cradle, high wire, balancing on chairs, and flying trapeze—just amazing. But my favorites were German wheel, diabolos, aerial ballet in silk, and power track/trampoline. They were magnificent and amazing. Four Asian (probably Chinese) kids, about 5 to 6 years, were flawless showing their amazing tricks with their diabolos and performing acrobats at the same time. The power track/trampoline was breathtaking. People were flying everywhere. FYKI, do not try to take pictures while you were in the theatre. I did that and tried to take couple of pictures which I hardly managed to take any good ones other than the one I had posted here, a lady came looking for my sweet Sony DCS T1. If they find you doing that, they might confiscate your camera as they would announce before the show starts. I got lucky. BE WARE! you might not be as lucky as I am.

At the end, our 82 bucks paid off. It was worth paying so much for such a great show.

Great show. Some amazing talents and a great venue. No bad seats. I saw the Mystere show in Vegas and thought it was better than La Nouba, but would still recommend attending. A little pricey.

While in line on the balcony, I turned to take a picture of the street down the West Side. The ticket taking lady immediately jumped on me and said, "You can’t take pictures inside the show!" Was I taking pictures inside? NO! We were shown to our seats, and as I went to put my camera away, the usher attacks me, "You can’t take pictures in here!" Good grief! I fully understand why they don’t allow pictures, but ease up! This was a half and hour before the show even began, and I wasn’t even taking pictures!

I hopped in line to get a drink – and witnessed another sales campaign as they were selling "souvenir" mugs (more like JUGS). It took forever to get through the line, but I finally got my Coke and headed back to my seat. Initially I thought our seats were awesome – section B, right in front by the railing with the aisle in front. WRONG! This meant that anytime someone got up – and this was often – they walked right in front of us, blocking our view. I came to the conclusion that children should not be allowed to sit in the front sections – parents were up and down the entire show, taking kids to the bathroom!

That aside, the show was AMAZING! I would definitely see it again and will make a point to see other shows in other cities.

La Nouba is a 90-minute version of a circus unlike any I have ever seen. It has high-wire walkers, trapeze artists, clowns, gymnastics, bike riding, and trampoline performances. All this is set to music, and each act flows from one to the next flawlessly. Disney World is the only place to see this show, and it has been rated as one of the best Cirque de Soleil has to offer. The tickets are expensive, but for us, it was worth it. Shows are 5 nights a week at 6pm and 9pm. Call early for the best seats: 407/939-7600.

This was amazing. La Nouba took my breath away.

If you've seen any Cirque du Soleil productions, live or on TV, you will know in advance if this is your thing. I can sort of see how some people might not get into it—it's a lot of crazy fantasy themes, weird music, and eccentric artistic types for a fairly high price. But the eye-popping talents and gorgeous costumes completely transport me every time. I've seen this show one other time in Vegas and a couple times on TV, and it's always pretty damn amazing.

La Nouba is Disney's resident show. One of only four resident shows in existence (the other three are in Vegas), La Nouba was truly built from the ground up. After the contract was signed between Cirque du Soleil and Disney, the theatre was designed to match the concept of the show. Two towers flank the stage and provide entrance/exit points for trapeze artists, tightrope walkers, and other performers. Tumblers use the specially-designed retractable power tracks on the floor. All performers enter and exit the main stage through a large elevator built directly into the main floor. This made for some pretty amazing staging.

We entered the show stealthily. Our tour guide Michelle had forgotten the tickets, but luckily, we were still with the rep from La Nouba. She led us in through the back entrance, which was exciting for some reason. The theatre was grand and gorgeous, naturally featuring stadium seating so no one would miss a moment.

There are some common acts in Cirque du Soleil shows, although each show does it in a special way. "Ballet in silk" is a popular act, with men and women tumbling along wide strands of colorful fabric hung from the ceiling. The German wheel, an amazing feat of strength featuring men spread-eagled like the spokes is an act I've seen before as well. There is almost always a dance act featuring small Chinese performers. But it's always done differently, and always amazing.

La Nouba's particular "ballet in silk" featured a beautiful muscular man flying out at the audience, appearing to only be casually holding onto the silk. It was exhilirating to watch, and definitely the highlight of the show for me!

Performances are held Tuesday through Saturday at 6:00 and 9:00. We went to the 9:00, which allowed for a leisurely dinner and, of course, fewer kids. You can buy tickets up to six months in advance, but check the website for the schedule--there are some dates when the show is dark. Book online or call Disney booking at 407/939-7600.

La Nouba is pricey, but worth it. Don't miss it if you are in the Orlando area.
