About

Cirque Shanghai: Dragon’s Thunder” is a spectacle for audiences of all ages, featuring performers direct from China who are leaders in their craft of tumbling, juggling, balancing and more. This year’s production features an incredible line up of awe-inspiring acts, including “The Chinese Flex Bar,” the heart stopping “Gravity Swings,” and the awesome sounds of the traditional Chinese “Dragon Drums.” Back from last year’s show is the fate tempting “Wheel of Destiny,” and China’s finest daredevil motorcycle troupe, “Imperial Thunder,” returns with not two, not four, but five motorcyclists riding at break-neck speeds within a steel globe.

    Cirque Shanghai 2009-WOW!

    by UMeR1 on 7/13/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    Went for a celebratory weekend with my husband, sis, bro-in-law and all of the group were impressed, wowed, amused - overall thoroughly an enjoyable event and worth the cost. Purchased gold circle seating and had front and center 11th row and could not have been more pleased with the performances, ease of getting to our seats, everything went along so smoothly. Performers were amazingly agile and had you wondering "how did they do that". They really seemed to enjoy what they do and conveyed this in their eye contact with the audience. Costumes were bright, elegant, some amusing and joyful. Try it, you'll love it!

    Impressive, but don't drive

    by GeoffSilver on 7/12/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    The show was impressive - amazing acrobatics and feats I could never dream of doing. Unfortunately getting to Navy Pier on a Saturday evening for an 8pm show took over 45 minutes just to park - we were over 20 minutes late to the show. The show was great but the venue awful - I'd never try to drive there again.

    Cirque Shanghai was Amazing!!

    by litl2late2 on 7/12/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    I would go again to this fantastic show in a heartbeat. The acts were stunning with their agility and grace. They even reached out to the audience with a couple of acts and they were great. The show moved along so very quickly it seemed that we just sat down to watch and it was finished and we were having to leave. What a wonderful show for all ages to see and enjoy!!!!

    Cirque Shanghai was spectacular!

    by Andy1 on 7/12/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    The performers in Cirque Shanghai were amazing! The show has no special effects and relies simply on the talent of its performers to entertain, and do they ever! The acrobats will amaze you!

    Cirque Shanghai was awesome!

    by Atlantaguru on 7/12/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    My wife and I loved it. Even my kids, 14 and 17, loved it. Very exciting and kept all of us on the edge of our seats. We've seen several Cirque shows and this was right up there with the others. A great time!

    Cirque Shanghai good for all ages

    by Bluebell on 7/11/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    We really enjoyed Cirque Shanghai. It was fast moving, well done and great entertainment for all ages. 1 1/2 hours was the perfect length for this production. The audience gave them a standing ovation at the end.

    Chcago Cirque

    by Allie75 on 7/11/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    This was the third Cirque performance I've been to and by far it was the worst! The music was terrible and the acts were very "unpolished"---timing and movements off, peformerrs stumbling through---overall very poor choreography...We expected more from a Chicago performance. The only good thing was the cheap tickets.

    Great talents

    by Aribert7 on 7/11/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    Liked the show 3 years ago (?) "Year of the Dragon" better. Wife also says this one is less sophisticated. This is a great show. The kids are unbelievable. BUT the show 3 years ago was "greater", somehow better. One example was the part with the chairs (3 yr. ago) going STRAIGHT up and higher and higher with a girt on top.....awesome ! Great show, less awe inspiring, but........recommended.

    no cirque

    by cna50 on 7/10/09Pepsi Skyline Stage At Navy Pier - Chicago

    I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was no cirque. My friend and I felt this is where the older and no longer wanted Cirque de Soile performers go. Clearly there is a reason the tickets were so reasonable. It wasn't as fine tuned a show as I was expecting. With this said, I still feel it would be a good show for children.
