This is not a Cirque du soleil show and certainly didn’t live up to Cirque expectations.
This was by far one of the worst cirque du soleil. The performers were great, but the stage set up was very small and obscured due to these black screens.
I love Cirque du Soleil and have seen at least a dozen shows in my lifetime. I purchased tickets for our entire extended family as a Christmas present and selected what should have been excellent seats - based on proximity to the stage, having seen previous shows at this venue AND the higher ticket price for this section. I was very disappointed to realize our premium seating which was adjacent to the stage was completely blocked by a giant curtain. We couldn't see more than half of of the giant screen at the back of the stage which featured close-up camera action and neat visuals. Thankfully the acrobatics were performed closer to the edge of the stage so we were able to see the live action, but I felt very apologetic to have gotten a row of seats with what I consider "partial visibility."Considering these seats were priced higher than seats further away with a better view, I think they need to consider visability from all paid seats.
The music and story was good! The acrobats and dancers were very good!
Acting and storyline in show were okay. Talent and skill of performers were good. Seating at theatre was mediocre and we were Row A, center. I would recommend general seating if you choose to go.
Although the acrobats and jugglers were very talented, the actors were annoying. An amateurish attempt at a story line. Felt like a middle school play written by middle schoolers, but with talented circus acts in between
The show itself was just ok. A lot of the acts were of the same talent. The music was good and Chill was fantastic.
My granddaughters, age 5 and 7, loved this. Actually we all did!
The venue was horrible for parking. After sitting in line for 30 min, the credit card machine ran out of juice and the attendant only accepted cash payment. I offered to run to get her a replacement machine but she declined the help. Anyone without cash was directed out of line to another line for another lot. There was no direction and no help for the attendant. The show was good but not the same caliber as other cirque performances attended!
Our family enjoyed this low key but festive holiday experience. Not for those who have experienced cirque in Las Vegas, but a change from tv and your phone.
