A 'LAZY' Review of 'Zumanity' (a Las Vegas show)...

Many people want me to give more 'personal' info - kind of a 'how do you spend your time' log of my life, so, here is a bit of that...

Note that I'm not one to ramble on and on about nothing - something I see a lot of on blogs in general - boy, are there some chatterboxes out there!

This post is for those folks that like to read the goings-on, so if that isn't you, stop here!

OK, disclaimer over - let's get to the review!

A couple days ago, my family and I went to the Las Vegas show called "Zumanity" at the New York, New York casino.

The whole thing was planned as a 'surprise' by my son's girlfriend, who lives with us (longer story than you'll likely hear on this blog.....;) as a Valentine's Day gift...

The biggest part of the surprise, to me, was that it was for Valentine's Day, as it is was well over a week away!

Anyhow, that was what she called it and she got some FANTASTIC seats - right off the stage (amazing what deals you can find when you don't follow the 'standard' dates and flow of crowds - that, in itself is a L.A.Z.Y. method of living!)

So, on to the show - once we knew where we were going (I was driving the Hummer so I had to be told a bit in advance where the destination was...), we headed down to the Strip and went to the valet parking (a Las Vegas tip - 99% of the time, use the valet in Vegas. They don't charge for parking and the entrance is usually close to just about everything. Give them a buck when you leave it and one when you pick it up - they are always thrilled...)

But, one more tip - don't take your Hummer (H2 anyway) to the valet at New York, New York - their parking garage can't handle them! That was certainly a surprise to us, but, in typical L.A.Z.Y. style, we kindly remarked to the attendant that we had a 75 year old grandma in a wheelchair with us and that it is hard to get her up/down, etc, etc (it really doesn't matter WHY, most of the time when you ask for special treatment and give some sort of reason, people will let you have it - another L.A.Z.Y. tip...)

Not only did the attendant take the truck, they parked it on the main curb - right in front of the hotel! When we came back after the show, it was already sitting right there!

Back to the review (or, have I even ever gotten there?)...

Surprise number 2 was that this is a VERY ADULT show! No, it isn't a 'striptease' or anything too bad, but it is quite an adult theme and a provocative, sexy thing, with lots of 'upper body flesh' showing - and not just on the guys....

You wouldn't want to take your 1st date there, I'd think.....

And, certainly not if you are sitting in the first couple rows, or on the isles (oh, another 'tip' about Vegas shows - many of them are 'audience participation' themes and if you are on the aisles or in the front row (i.e., 'close enough to grab'), you just might get picked for some 'participation'.....)

The show itself was quite good, the actors all playing their parts well.

Lots of athletic stuff going on, too - some, pretty erotic! (personally, I liked the girl in the swimming pool the most - interesting flexibility!) There was one other 'stand-out' performer, in my opinion (although, again, I would say they were all good) - that he was only seen a few minutes before the performance and then 'in the shadows' throughout the show was a shame (another one of those 'tips' for Vegas shows - they tend to have things going on all over the place - look for performers in the rafters as well as on stage...). This was the 'spider-guy' - I don't recall his name or anything, but his talent for movement was really great.

Now, he was not a contortionist - they had one of those! This guy was amazing - touching his toes together by bending his legs BACKWARD! That is quite a feat (or, is that 'feet'...?)!

I would recommend the Zumanity show if you are adult enough to handle it (be warned, there is a lot of nudity in it - tastefully done, and often comically done as well). Where we were sitting, we only got 'participated' from confetti and once, where the guy was naked and strutting through the seats right above us.....

Well, you'll have to go to the show to find out more on that one!!!

Hope you enjoy this 'review'. You can write to me and let me know if you want more of this stuff (or not)... I'm always open to whatever works for both sides!
