For an afternoon show, Matsuri is as good as it gets!  It's a very high energy show and the performers are really athletic and talented.  I'm gonna agree with the other reviewers and say it again that it really does a great job taking you to dream-like world and it's like watching Cirque du Soleil at a fraction of the price.  Without giving away too much, expect lots of acrobatics and dancing, clapping, monster box jumping, and mime comedy.  It's a complete package!  Oh, and a giant hula hoop!!!!\n\nI can't say much for the theater at the Imperial Palace, it's really small and the decor is kinda old, almost similar to the Hollywood Theater at MGM Grand.  But the size of the theater benefits Matsuri in that it gives the performers a chance to get intimate with the audience just like Blue Man Group at the Venetian.\n\nAnother reason why I watched this show is because I'm a big fan of Sasuke / Ninja Warrior and a lot of the cast members competed on there.  It was really cool seeing those familiar faces live and in their element.\n\nIt's definitely a must-see and for less than $50 ($15 for locals!!), you can't go wrong!!\n\n5 stars all the way!!!!
