The show was great, even though I'd seen it before, I loved it and would see it again.
Rogers Place, being a big hockey arena, has issues. You're farther from the stage than if you were in a tent, I suppose that keeps you from getting hit by a puck, but that's fine.
The issue is the rules at Rogers Place. First there are the metal detectors at the entrance. When I went to see Crystal, they confiscated my Leatherman multitool. Okay, lesson learned. It's a hockey arena where they expect fights to break out and pliers might cause harm. This time, seeing OVO, they confiscated my wife's reusable water bottle that we bought at a previous Cirque show as a way to reduce plastic consumption. Well that sucks, but you could buy other metal water bottles at the Cirque shop. Next, no cameras, videos, phones, recording equipment according to Rogers ... but then Cirque requests that you take pictures and put them online.
I think there is just a disconnect between Rogers as a hockey palace and Cirque. The tent shows are just a more friendly environment. Cirque doesn't expect fights to spontaneously break out, Rogers does.
