Very cool lights and sound system with lasers, great bass effects and stereo speakers mounted to each seat, and a few very large "puppet"like characters. But that is the best that can be said about the show. Random circus acts that are poorly integrated into a very cheesy storyline. Maybe kids would like it but for a high end hotel, it's very disappointing.
Cute story line - great costumes and dancing. Not on the same level as Le Reve. Also - story line gaps.... Boo and Bandit keep getting captured - and miraculously appear in next scene without ever getting released or rescued. Also... show I saw - IO lost one of the 3 Light Shards - fell off stage and it also miraculously reappeared in next segment.
If you are looking for a lot of talking and a music show then this is for you. If you want a cirque de solei type performance not for you.
We will keep this short. Did not like the show too much dialogue and dancing. Too much like a Broadway show. A few good special events and special effects. Guess we expected to be more like a cirque show.
After all the previews I watch I thought that this show would be really good and exciting. Let’s just say it wasn’t my thing. There was a story line and a lot of singing. I didn’t find it at all entertaining so much so that I was falling asleep. Maybe I was just expecting something with a lot more action.
There isn’t a bad seat in the house. The stage is amazing. Great show, costumes were next level. And you also get a treat with Anthony Hopkins doing the narratives! I would see it again!
This show is amazing !Theater in the round is the best. Any seat would be an awesome view. The lighting for this show is spectacular. Loved the entire show! Highly recommend.
Full of Magic, great story, special effects. A must see show when in vegas
Awakening is a stunning convergence of cutting-edge stagecraft, dynamic choreography, and a heartfelt fantasy narrative. The 360-degree stage design ensures every audience member is fully immersed—no bad seat in the house. Visually, it’s a marvel: laser effects, projection mapping, and intricately designed costumes create a vivid world that feels pulled straight from an RPG. The storyline is wholesome, reminiscent of classic quest-driven games, with a clear hero’s journey arc. What truly elevates the show is the music—cinematic, sweeping, and emotionally resonant. Awakening doesn’t just entertain; it transports.
Excellent show in Las Vegas. There was human touch on the theme and that’s what the most important part I liked.
Worth every penny, you’ll pay for your ticket! Not a bad seat in the house. From the opening number to the end of the show, you will be mesmerized and captivated.
Definitely one of my favorite shows in Vegas. The lighting was great!
After seeing almost every show in Vegas, we are virtual experts. We both walked away happy after seeing Awakening. But there was no WoW afterwards. It was well choreographed, the sound was impressive. Special effects were good. Would I see it again? No... LeReve, We would... KA, We would...
We bought seats in the VIP section and I'm glad we did. There was an amazing amount of effects that most of the lower seats couldn't set. Great story that was translated well in the dancing and effects. It is a must see.
My first show. Did not disappoint. The cast was amazing.
This is my second time seeing Awakening. The show, performers and costumes are spectacular.
My wife and I were pleased we got to attend the Awakening show at the Wynn Theater. The performance was grand, the costumes amazing, and the performers really came through. Seeing all the different performers "do their thing"was amazing. The cast was full of extremely talented performers able to do stunts and skills with superb precision and flair. I would recommend this show for anyone who is in Vegas for a visit.
Lights camera action all a Beutyfull live story and great music . Spectacular show
The best show so far besides the O show! Nice costumes, excellent performances & exciting from beginning until the end! Love it!
Incredible $120 million set, dazzling state of the art effects and wonderful performers with a disappointing story that did not touch, move, or inspire me. As a "visual thinker", I enjoyed the show thoroughly, but had no clue what the story was or why I should care. I wanted it to be better than any Cirque du Soleil show, but it wasn't. As a filmmaker and storyteller for 50 years I'm reminded that "Story is King.!"
