We also got to enjoy VIP Social before the show. During the first act, the VIP Social guests are seated on the stage before moving down to their seats in the audience. There's also behind-the-scenes-video shown before taking a seat on the stage. It's an experience that any Cirque fan wouldn't want to miss.
