Mad Apple – Cirque du Soleil
I finally saw Mad Apple, the new Cirque show that opened May 2022 in Vegas.
Quite different than any other of their 20 performances worldwide.
Three bars on the stage open 45 minutes before opening.
Stand-up comedy. Somewhat raunchy.
No theme. Instead it’s a fast paced series of acts all somehow paying homage to the city of New York.
It replaced Zumanity on stage at New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Both minimum age-16 adult-themed entertainments.
As usual, I appreciated the acrobatic performers most. The Wheel of Death included a back tuck βΒ something I’d not seen before.
The Pole Act far above the stage impressed.
Hand Balancer Valentin Chetverkin is fantastic.
The musicians in this show are characters who roam the stage. I found them more entertaining than some of the dancers.
Music so-so. The acoustics in this venue made it difficult to hear some of the lyrics.

Utah and Oklahoma advance
FINAL
Utah 198.225
Oklahoma 198.1625
UCLA 197.9125
Kentucky 197.125
… UCLA gets to feel righteously wronged with their 197.9125 being eliminated from this semifinal, though the scoring in this semifinal was WILDLY different than the second semifinal.
The evolution of that beam scoring from LSUβs opening rotation today to the end was something else. …

LSU & Florida advance
FINAL
LSU 197.475
Florida 197.400
Cal 196.9125
Denver 196.500
… LSU and Florida will NEVER have thought that a 197.4 would have been good enough to advance out of the semifinal.
Cal will spend the next 9 months kicking itself because they would have won the semifinal without that bars miss. …
