MARYMOOR PARK, REDMOND, WA :: To celebrate Mother’s Day, we invited our moms to see Corteo, a Cirque du Soleil show traveling the world and making a brief stop in Redmond’s Marymoor Park. Altogether, ten members from the Brown and English clans gathered together to enjoy dinner and an evening of world-class, acrobatic theater. This was the fifth Cirque performance that Kristie and I have seen, but a first time experience for half of the group.
Corteo is different than the other Cirque shows. The performers actually speak English throughout and there is a clear storyline concerning the death of a clown. Amazing acrobatic performances and a few theatrical interludes reenacted the clown’s life, until he finally ascends among angels to the bright white light at the top of the tent.
Of the shows we’ve seen, Mystere is still the best, followed by Alegria, Varekai, Delirium and Corteo. Mystere was so incredible, we’ll likely see it again, along with La Nouba during our trip through the Caribbean later this year.

No picks from the inside this time? Look like a fun show.
Sounds fun! 🙂 I love CDS.
