The Scene
Corteo is a beautiful piece about a clown's dream of his own funeral. Borrowing liberally from the dreamlike feeling of "O," yet exhibiting perhaps the most "circusy" of acts since the troupe's beginnings in L.A. some 20 years ago, "Corteo" is Italianate lovely and acrobaciting - and another Cirque triumphant feast for all 12 senses.

I would definitely recommend it too.

The official site has some great photos and info on the different acts.

My favorite act was the chandeliers. I loved the different take on the traditional trapeze, and the costumes were great!

A midget and some large balloons, now that's entertainment.

Awesome show, definitely go see it.

Only drawbacks are:

Bring lots of lube because they rape you for parking ($22!!!)
Unless you want to park your car on the street in Inglewoood....
It's literally right under the incoming flight path for LAX.
