Zumanity Continues Its Run at New York New York Las Vegas

On this trip to Las Vegas my wife and I were given the opportunity to see Zumanity the adult’s only show at New York New York. This is the second Cirque du Soleil we have seen together. This first was Love at the Mirage.
The show definitely had all the elements you would expect from Cirque du Soleil and a whole lot more. And I do mean a whole lot more.
Zumanity is a set of performances depicting at times explicit, but not pornographic, representations of human sexuality. You will be most comfortable attending this show with your spouse or significant other as long as the two of you are at ease discussing sex.
Don’t make the mistake of attending this show with your grown children. Either you will be very uncomfortable or I guarantee your children will be.
The acrobatic performances are what I expect from any Cirque du Soleil show. The athleticism and dance is top notch. And the live music performance is one of the best of any show on the strip. Not having recorded music is a real plus for any Vegas show.
I was not aware that the show would be as sexually frank as it was. My wife and I have attended some of the traditional Vegas topless show girl reviews and I that was more of what I was expecting.
Despite the show being a little more than I expected, I wasn’t too uncomfortable with most of the sexual content of the show. However, my wife and I were pretty uncomfortable with the 2 guys kissing in the cage match wrestling scene.
Be forewarned if you attend this show it goes far beyond being a Cirque du Soleil show with a little extra skin. Nearly every type of human sexuality will be depicted and some of it will make you laugh…some of it will entertain and some of it will make you squirm.
