The high-flying acrobats of Cirque du Soleil take over Radio City Music Hall for a gravity-defying extravaganza with Zarkana, now in its final year in New York. The show follows the tribulations of Zark, a magician who has simultaneously lost his powers and the love of his life, as he searches for both in a theater populated with eccentric characters and dazzling performers. A quartet of singing mutants tempts Zark off his path, treating audiences to striking tableaux such as a web-bound spider woman, a snake twisting atop a 30-foot body, and a tank-encased pickled lady whose stunted limbs and drooping eyes send shivers down spines and pangs of homesickness through vacationing picklers. Cirque du Soleil's trademark acrobatics surround dramatic moments, with gravity-mocking athletes sticking one-handed landings on each other's heads, a sinuously flexible contortionist floating across the stage in a hand-balancing solo, and high-wire performers creating a vertiginous playground complete with jump ropes.

The art deco splendor of Radio City Music Hall melds with the show's sets to create an otherworldly atmosphere Time praised as a "perfect union of site and spectacle." Backdrops of oversize gears and coiling snakes rise to the top of the 60-foot proscenium arch while projections show off eerie sand paintings on the surrounding walls. Anthemic rock music by Australian electropop prodigy Nick Littlemore blasts through the pipes of the Mighty Wurlitzer, modified to twist ominously like a sinister American Bandstand dancer.

The Groupon Guide to: Plate vs. Spoon

For years, people have gathered in public places to violently debate which product should be considered superior—plate or spoon? Here's how they match up:

Durability: Though spoon advocates argue that a metal spoon won't shatter like a plate would after being thrown off a building, plate proponents often counter with, "What if the plate were made by gluing together a bunch of spoons?"
Advantage: Plate

Ability to Be Used as a Utensil: Spoon is a clear winner in this category until you consider that a plate is just a giant spoon with no dangerously sharp handle.
Advantage: Plate

Aesthetics: It's no coincidence that a plate kind of looks like a newborn baby's beautiful face without those beady, unnerving eyes.
Advantage: Plate

Cool Factor: Kids are always saying, "There's nothing about a plate that deserves any hate."
Advantage: Plate

Flammability: Both will likely start on fire when exposed to the sun.
Advantage: Tie

Result: Though plate comes out ahead in nearly every category, the real winner here is civil discourse.

Why are spoons worthless?
