The Stage Is (The) Set - IMRAN™ Yes! Front row seats to Cirque du Soleil, this time for BAZZAR. My first Cirque du Soleil show was the incredible Delerium, which my then-GF in Miami T had taken us to in 2007 or so. Even though those seats were towards the back in the arena show, that concert & circus all in one still remains one of my all-time favorites. That 2-years running show worldwide was ending and was never redone. They never even released a DVD. Since then I’ve taken front row seats for every Cirque show (almost all in different trips to Las Vegas) — except the Beatles one, which I’ve skipped. I jumped on the opportunity to get front row seats to the latest one, BAZZAR, that played under a big top outside Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. I was traveling all that week. I literally managed to fly back into Tampa Airport just an hour or so before showtime, drove straight to the venue, parked, and got seated barely 5 minutes before the show started. Even though the 2-hours long BAZZAR was great fun, to me it was still a fraction as mind-blowing as Delerium was 17 years ago. However, I am so glad I got to reconnect with Cirque - in an arena setting - basically where my appreciation for it started, in Florida. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #TampaBay #StPetersburg #TropicanaField #entertainment #culture #circus #concert #stage #CirqueDuSoleil #BAZZAR #memories #history #travel #gratitudeThe Stage Is (The) Set - IMRAN™ Yes!
