Cavalia's Odysseo in Scottsdale through Jan. 13

I love seeing beautifully choreographed shows. It's one reason I love going to Vegas - tons of beautiful costumes, soothing music, amazing acrobatics, etc.

Lucky for me, I got a chance to preview Cavalia's new show, Odysseo. I only saw select scenes, and it's gorgeous.

Odysseo features equestrian arts and acrobatics on a high-tech theatrical stage that includes a working carousel and an 80,000-gallon lake. I'll let some pictures show you what to expect.

My daughter's mouth was agape almost the entire preview. Many amazing riding tricks, gorgeous costumes and athleticism. The set was beautiful. Now the big screen could be amazing, but at times the video seemed too grainy. Still, you felt transported to a beautiful place.

This obviously isn't for everyone. The music is mellow, and if you don't like horses or acrobatics, well... But if you like theatrical experiences, this was a beautiful one.

Ticket prices range from $29.50-$149.50. The theater, under a huge 10-story white tent, is cozy. Even those cheaper, high-up seats aren't that far away from the action. That's good news if ticket costs are an issue. Taking a family can be expensive, especially if you go for a VIP package. But if you are looking for a memory rather than a gadget for Christmas, this could be a nice family outing. Click link for Cavalia's Odysseo show info & tickets.
