Summary: Do not buy this if you want to see circus performance
Review: I thought I am buying this for performance. But it was movie..
Sorry that I did not check the review before purchasing.
I feel really sorry to buy this.....
The cover of this disc should say clearly that this DVD is not for performance....I feel like I was cheated...

Summary: You're not getting what you think you are getting.
Review: If you think you are getting one of the outstanding Cirque du Soleil performances, you're not. This is an imaginative, but depressing movie with very few sketches of Cirque du Soleil performances interspersed.

Summary: Don't be fooled like I was
Review: I too thought this was a Cirque Du Soleil performance.....major disappointment!! This is nothing but a
boring hum-drum movie not even worthy of the Cirque Du Soleil
name!!

Summary: Disappointed and Angry
Review: Upon seeing the show titled Alegria on the Bravo channel, I went to a local audio-video store and purchased what I thought was the same show I had seen on television. It was titled Alegria, and I couldn't wait to get it home and watch it. You can't imagine my disappointment when I fired up my DVD player and started watching. It wasn't the circus acts that I had been so thrilled by. It was a movie about two people who fall in love behind the scenes of the big-top. So be very careful when you go to purchase Alegria. If, like me, you were intrigued by the circus acts, this isn't it.

Summary: take it from a circus performer
Review: take it from a circus performer, this is an amazing movie. not only is the music magical but the story is moving and lovely. this is a wonderful and uplifting movie that skillfully combines the beauty of Cirque du Soleil with the format of a "conventional" movie. this movie made me cry both the first and the second time i saw it. it has a wonderful message that can be appreciated by every one.

Summary: Don't be tricked, this isn't a "show", but rather a joke
Review: Don't be like me and be fooled into thinking that this is Alegria, the magical and awesome Cirque Du Soleil "show". Rather, it's a horrible "movie" (if that's what you want to call it)!! My wife and I were [angry] that we bought this ... and wouldn't even give it away to anybody in fear that they might mis-interpret what Cirque is really about. On the other hand, if you can locate the "real" Alegria show, you will be amazed. The first 4 acts by themself are worth the purchase price and the music, costumes and choreography are amazing!! Take it from me, I love their shows and would pay anything to see them all live. If you've ever watched a movie hoping that something would finally happen, this is the example. We waited, and waited, and waited for a 10-second glimpse at a "show", only to realize that we had been robbed. Take my advice, buy Quidam, Drailon, Alegria (the real one) and sit back and be amazed. The Cirque experience is truly a must for all to see!!

Summary: Poor CD quality.
Review: I am enamored with Cirque Du Soleil. I bought my first CD, The Journey of Man. Simply outstanding. I then bought Alegria and Quidam. Quidam is good but Alegria's quality is poor in various places on the CD. Especially toward the end when the daughter leaves the circus, from that point on the picture changes to a transparency of some sort. The picture gets darker and you can't make out a thing. You can still see the people moving but you can also see their shadow or outline of their body and faces. I was willing to put up with it the first time in happened it was brief and short. The second time it lasted too long and just ruined the experience. I would like to buy Dralion but I don't know now.

Summary: Looking beyond the Cirque curtain
Review: Perhaps it's not what the movie shows, but what message it's trying to bring across. Director Franco Dragone gives us a 93-minute movie, an hour of which reminds many of us why we love Cirque in the first place. Sure, the movie may not be a memento to take back from the live show, but it does provide an excellent sequel - especially to anyone enchanted by the real thing.
