I have to admit that the show was less exciting than I was expecting. It is a basic Chinese Acrobats show. It was entertaining for the kids but was lacking from an adult standpoint. Plain stage, basic lighting, nothing spectacular. The entertainers made several obvious errors - diving through the hoops they missed several times.
This show was disappointing, not suggested! too simple, costumes were dirty they should not be able to use the Cirque name, as they are not anything close! save your money and do not promote this show, very simple acts, some shouldn't have even been done.
Advertisement on t.v. Nor pictures of event prepared us for the show. Nonetheless we marveled at the expert skill and technique. Understated difficulty throughout show. Left with an appreciation for the presentation.
I have taken my family to many Cirque shows in the past. We've been to big shows in Vegas, under the big top at MOA and we were hoping a small stage show would be just as exciting. Unfortunately we were very disappointed, it's not the performers fault, they were very good, I blame the organizers, a Cirque show should never be tried in such a small venue.
Incredibly talented and enthusiastic performers. Terrible production values. This show is in desperate need of lights, sound & staging to be the world-class show it COULD be.
We went and saw this show at the Civic Center in Rochester MN and it was the worst show that I have ever been too! It was a very low budget performance! It was nothing like what was advertised on TV or any of the videos we saw online. No special effects or background scenery. It looked like it was put together by a bunch of high schoolers. My family and I left at intermission as it was unbearable to watch! Can’t believe that this performance was allowed to be put on!
What a delightful afternoon! I attended Cirque D'Or in Utica recently with my family. I was absolutely blown away by the level of talent that I saw onstage. These performers are extremely skilled in their craft and put on an incredible and memorable performance. It's not everyday that you get to see this type of performance. This was a wonderful day for the entire family.
Don't be fooled by the name - not a Cirque Du Soleil show. Description was not clear whether it was a proper cirque, which we should have probably known by the venue size and show not on the actual Cirque Du Soleil website. Should have known by the price point. Which was still a high price point for the type of show it was. Very dull stage, not colorful and vibrant as expected, costumes were so-so. I would suggest waiting for a Groupon for this type of show. Disappointing when you have an expectation built from the description and Cirque reference. Entertaining enough for kids. Performers definitely talented.
Try as they did,I have seen better acrobatic performances at halftime of college basketball games. With such barebones equipment and costumes they need to update their music, routine and 'persona' to inject some excitement. For the price, the entertainment value was simply lacking and the overall performance amateurish.
The girls were very boring to watch Pretty much all they did was stretch The guys performance were amazing
I was so excited to see Cirque coming to our town again that I was not as thorough with my due diligence in checking out what the show was about. After seeing many Cirque du Soleil shows, my expectations were high and my anticipation was over the top. But, as soon as I walked into the venue (which was very nice by the way), I knew immediately that this was not going to be the Cirque that I've come to know and love. I also should have known based on the price of the tickets. But hey, if you decide to check it out, you'll see some good stunts and okay costumes. You'll also hear some so-so music (not live, there is no vocalist). Just know, it's not Cirque du Soleil style.
The music was very loud and all sounded pretty much the same. It wasn't what I was expecting.
The performance was average at best. There were some really good moments but nothing earth shattering. There was a couple of failed moments where it was obvious that the performers could not pull off the tricks, like missing their marks and knocking things over. I do however appreciate their efforts and I know they work hard to be good at this but they need more practice before performing on stage for the public. The show was good but it was missing "The Wow Factor" to be a really good show.
The performers were trying their hearts out. So they get a good grade for effort. But this felt like a high school production. There was no set, just a curtain in the back, and the stage was dusty. Groups or single performers would just come out and do their thing, and none of them were amazing. There was actually a jump rope segment! Where two people literally swung a jump rope while others jumped and flipped through it. You can probably see that for free on playgrounds! The part where a performer hangs from a net in the air (as seen in the picture for this event) was completely unimpressive and it seemed like anyone could do it. It wasn't amazing like what they do at Cirque du Soleil. There was a segment where people had to dive through rings, and they kept missing over and over! The audience was nice and cheered them on, but again, this felt like a high school level production. Current versions of Disney on Ice have acrobatics that look one hundred times better than this. It feels like a low budget, bare bones show that's trying to capitalize off the popularity of Cirque du Soleil. But if Cirque du Soleil is the Cadillac of these shows, then this would be a tricycle with a broken wheel.
Went to see the show in Utica at the Stanley Theatre. It was the best cirque show my wife and I have seen outside of Las Vegas. The performers were flawless. Tickets were very affordable as well.
Performers were energetic, captivating with bright costumes and amazing, beautiful, fun and stunning acts. I would definitely recommend this and would even go again! Two thumbs up!!
Remarkable Performances!!!! My Wife and I Loved this Performance!!!
The performers where very good and did a lot with very little. The show was dragging at time. Fell well short of the wow factor in the promo buildup.
This show was amazing! VERY talented performers! Cant wait to see it again. Just wish they wouldve sold postcards
