Cirque du Soleil's "Corteo"

Granted, schlepping down to Inglewood is exactly how it sounds. But I tell you what, fighting traffic on the 405 is worth every repeat of Fergi's Big Girls Don't Cry if you want to be transported to the magical dreamworld of "Corteo".
Cirque du Soleil's Corteo takes you on a journey through a circus-like atmosphere filled with gilded chandeleirs, clowns, Alice in Wonderland like cups and of course, acrobats with amazingly sculpted bodies that - let's be honest - we couldn't acquire even if we spent 23 hours a day on the Elliptical. The acrobats, per usual are absolutely amazing and the audience is fun - excited to be there, ready to be inspired.
Jewel tones, sparkling costumes and echanting music give the sensation that you're flying along with the performers. We've all had that dream where everything was suspended between reality and fantasy - everything around us glittering, sparkling like the fairy books we read as a kid. This is just like that experience, except when you wake up you're more likely to meet your friends for cocktails then get a Starbucks and start your day.
If you don't have the time or patience to take another trip up to Vegas, Corteo is certainly not settling. It's a delight. This fun respite is a perfect date night, family event or just another excellent way to treat yourself to the otherwordly.
