We’re going to see Corteo in San Jose tonight (looking forward to it!). This is a boring question about the comfort of the seating: in a traveling Cirque show, should we bring seat cushions? It wouldn’t just be bleachers, right? Do the seats have padding, comfortable backs, arms?
And if one member of our party is in a wheelchair, how are wheelchairs accomodated?
You are going to see it in San Jose?

I am so jealous.
I’m not sure how they’ll do it in San Jose. In Dallas there were theatre style seats for most rows on risers. The front row was actually padded folding chairs. I would assume they would simply fold up a chair or two in the front row to make room for a wheelchair.
Enjoy,

I’m going Saturday!
I saw Verekai when it was in SJ and they had hinged, cushioned seats and plenty of ramps and seating set aside for wheelchairs.
Let me know if it’s good.
–looks at watch-- :smack:
I hope you had a good time.
I saw it last week, and quite frankly, I was disappointed. Maybe I’m just suffering from Cirque overload (I’ve seen basically all the travelling shows) but a large amount of it was things I’d seen before. And when you’ve seen enough really amazing things you start expecting there to always be something even MORE, and when there isn’t, it’s a letdown.
Not that it’s not worth seeing, but it wasn’t the really magical Cirque experience I’ve sometimes had.
Spectacular!
We all had a great time. And the seats and wheelchair worked out fine. Thanks, folks!
