I propose moving this article to KÀ as the website refers to the show like this. -- Opspin 19:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Moving the article to KÀ is fine as long as there is a redirection page from Ka for searchability
The statements about there being no live musicians are simply not true. There are a number of musicians that preform the majority of the music offstage each and every show. In fact, many of them make 'cameo' appearances during the show, preforming their pieces on stage in costume. I'm updating this info accordingly, and fixing a few grammatical mistakes/NPOV annoyances.
REPLY:
I have seen the show at least 10 times. In many parts of the show if you listen to the soundtrack carefully the music sometimes features full orchestral score and sometimes 4-part chorus – such potions has to be pre-recorded or generated in synthesized sequences. If live musician indeed play for the show their involvement is minimal. I don't think the music should be considered live if 80% of the show is generated by synthesizer or pre-recorded.
Musicians making a cameo on stage are not an evidence of live music. If you watch the end of the shows carefully after the fireworks and the cast is making final curtain bow, you will see that seven musicians on stage “playing” the final show theme. The instruments they are using at that point cannot possibly reproduce the sound coming out of the speakers.
I watched the show and loved it, but here's a question - What language are they singing it in? Does anyone know?
As with the other shows, I believe most of the dialog, and lyrics are in cirquish, the made up language that all cirque performers now.
The vast majority of Cirque music is written in an imaginary language which means absolutely nothing. Some songs do mean something, like in Corteo, most songs are in Italian. The lyrics of Ka have no meaning. EDIT: sorry, I forgot to sign in before writing that. Atmadja ( talk) 21:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I saw a performance last week (10/16/08) and noticed a couple of changes. The chief archer character is completely gone now. Also, the scene between the princess and Firefly boy is gone (making his appearance at the end very confusing). The forest scene is still there, but there is no longer any action between the two characters. The princess falls, then we see the forest people do some acrobatics. Then the scene ends and we go to the slave cages. Improvius ( talk) 05:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
They must have been trying out a shortened version or had cast members ill or missing, because I saw KA in Feb. 2009, and all of the characters and scenes that you mention were intact. 214.13.130.104 ( talk) 21:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)TexxasFinn
