Outstanding entertainment! I was totally drawn into the dreamlike world, and was absolutely astounded by the splendor, beauty and capabilities of the human body. The excitement was overwhelming and the thrills didn’t seem to taper off, I mean, I really didn’t want to be awakened from that fantastic world! Simply, I was totally knocked out by Cirque du Soleil’s ZED. I know I’ll definitely come back to watch this show again.
