So I have been to previous show. Wasn’t the impressed. Did like the guy that kept everyone entertained between setups. Laser light show was impressive. Some others were good too. Enter mission was longer than 15min. There was downtime between setups. Show 7:00pm and done before 9:00pm. Hummmm not much time for actual entertainment.
My wife and were pretty excited about taking our granddaughter to Holiday Dreams which took place last night. Sorry to say we were so disappointed we left at the break and would recommend you never have this event again. Probably the worst part I noticed was the seating so far away from the stage. I think that falls on your part. We were seated in section 201. Looking around you should have divided the event center in half and placed people in all the seats which would have been so much better. We have been to several concerts and I believe Three Dog Night was set-up in such a way.
I thought the show was good but I didn't like sitting on the folding chair. It didn't show on the floor plan that I would be sitting on a folding chair
Our seats were in sec 220, directly in front of the stage, but at the back of the arena. We could not see. Fortunately, after half an hour or so of squinting, we (and a bunch of others) were asked if we wanted to move closer. They put us in sec 216 which was a little better to see. The show is stricly on the stage so you need to be as close as possible. The show is not in te whole arena as it appears in the advertising. Suggestion is to close off the back half of the arena so you sell only seats from which you can actually see the performers. Or, better yet, expand the show to use the whole arena, as is portrayed in the advertising.
I was one of many individuals that left the performance due to the event being far less than expected. I am very disappointed in the advertisement and performance of this event. It was disappointing the amount of money paid for the experience and the expectations set in the marketing. This was nothing as it was advertised. I am not one to complain but in this event, when my children were expecting an amazing experience. It is not easy to see your children so disappointed.
Unfortunately Holiday Dreams is a big "dud" for all age groups. The show is nothing like the promoters portray in their advertisement. If your in the mood for a Holiday Joke, then you will like it. I personally wasted my money on this show. Be warned, performers are amateur's and are constant in errors on presentation and execution, the show itself is boring and the overall appearance of the set is cheap and very junior in presentation, and the overall experience of a festive holiday presentation is lacking in this show. The list goes on, though I think you get the point ... Stay away - save your money and spend more on a gift for yourself, spouse, friend, or your children!
This was absolutely the worst show! Amateurish and a very sad waste of money.
When I first saw the stage I feared this would not be a "Spectacular" show, and I was right. The performers came out one or 2 at a time, much like a talent show in high school. The performers themselves were quite talented and would have impressed more if only for a nicer stage. For example, the bike ramps looked like something you would find in someone's backyard. They were made of plywood, coming apart in places and desperately needed a coat of paint. They were very ugly and should not be on a stage. The laser show was great since the stage was dark for that and the focus was on the lasers. Unfortunately, I cannot say enough about the stage. It made these talented performers look amateur.
Show was not very entertaining. For the price of the tickets this performance did not deliver. Atleast we know better now.
I bought tickets to this event for my Sister's birthday expecting a "cirque" show, which are always spectacular. NOPE! There were very few performers on a very small, unimpressive stage. One performer would come out at a time and do their act, which felt very high school or community theater quality. The arena was maybe 30% full, I now know why! Do not waste your time or money on this rediculas show!
The setup was terrible. Seats in the very front were right by stage but everyone else was so far away you had to squint your eyes to see the stage. No big screen tvs to look at. A large scaffodling was set up in the center which also blocked some of the stage. Only one short part of the show had lasers which was probably the best part of the show. I took my 3 girls, we drive up from the valley and spent the night apecifically to
I'm 61 and have seen many performances in my life. The problem with this one was the venue. Many people just couldn't see. The arena is designed for ice skating. The talent was ok. Very amateur. Just way too expensive for the value.
Fun show, but not for the amount we paid for the tickets. The Elf made the show!
This program gave the impression that it was connected to Cirque du Sole by it's title, but it wasn't. It was extremely low budget, they had problems with lighting, and had so much filler Acts in between actual programming. One filler act was 15 mins of wasted clapping. My child was not impressed and was bored throughout most of the show. Definitely not worth the price, complete waste of time.
I attended the Cirque du Soleil Christmas program several years ago and it was absolutely incredible, was so magical, and left the audience wondering how the performers could do their acts. I was so excited to be attending another performance this year and I was also bringing a friend as part of his Christmas present. We were both so disappointed and this performance was definitely a waste of time and money. Unlike the other CdS Christmas show, the cast was quite limited and the performances were unfortunately underwhelming. The backdrop was five panels which had boring images projected upon them instead of real people dressed in holiday costumes that contributed significantly to the show. The main character performed rather basic juggling tricks and included the audience in clapping sessions. Bascially I would have never have thought this was a CdS performance as the other acts were underwhelming as well. I doubt seriously I will attend another CdS performance.
It was a cute concept but it was really more of a beginner level show- the tricks were nothing spectacular and the acts were more circus based vs. cirque based….. overall not what we expected
This shows very amateur. I have some better talent on the street corners or even in high school theaters. It was advertised to have cyclists, and there was none. I'm sure I was not the only one who was disappointed. The performers made mistakes and the person running spotlights, could not even get their job right. Don't waste your money.
I now understand why the title only has Cirque, it’s not even half the show of a true Cirque du Soleil extravaganza. There was no elaborate costumes nor set, no magic, excitement nor fun. The entertainers tried hard for applause which unfortunately came few and far between. Sadly, the show was a holiday letdown.
Lousy seats for paying top price. Didn’t matter, because we couldn’t stand another minute of the performance. It was awful, even for my 6 year old grandchild. She was not amused by the performance either. I must say this will be my first and my last show to take in at the Ilani. I will not buy another ticket at an event there in the future. Such a huge disappointment. Not only to me, but to my other 4 guests.
Enjoyed what I could see of the show. The seating was terrible and so uncomfortable!! Had to watch the majority of the show on the tv screens. With all of the audience sitting at the same level, the view got worse the further back you sat. Will not attend another event in the Cowlitz room unless I’m able to purchase a seat MUCH closer to the stage.
