_Dralion_ is a show put on by Cirque de Soleil. It’s going to be in my town soon and is sure to be sold out. Ticket prices are high, but I might be able to spring for one of the cheaper seats if I know it’s really good. So, has anyone seen _Dralion_? ---

I saw it on TV, does that count? It was very good. The only Cirque shows I have been lucky enough to attend in person are Varekai, Alegria, and Quidam, and I only saw Quidam after it had converted to an arena show instead of in the tents. ☹ If I had a chance to see Dralion, I would go - it was a good show to watch on tv, but the live performances are just electric. I have very much enjoyed the other Cirque performances I was able to attend. Sadly, I think it’s been converted to an arena show as well - it’s a shame. I think that the tent formats are much better. ---

This will be in an arena. There was an article in our paper as to how it’s _ **just** _ big enough to hold the performance.
