Backstage of Cirque du Soleil's "O"


When I saw on Facebook that elementary school friend Reid does effects and big backstage projects for Vegas shows, thought would be really fun for the boys to see his work.
Mentioned this to Laura (Duncan) and she thought that would be really fun for her boys to see, too, and Steve even changed his afternoon flight so he could see Reid and go on the tour too (he and Reid used to play Risk for hours), so it was a mini-Breck reunion.

Reid left Breck in 8th grade and seemed to have doubled in height! Was such fun seeing him again and so cool for us to go backstage of O because it is such a neat set with millions of gallons of water on stage and a number of training rooms for the acrobats and such.

The number of costume changes were also incredible because the performers get wet in one act, but of course have to be dry again in the next. It was so neat.
