Cirque du Soleil: OVO on Tour
Talk about creating a buzz. Touring circus company Cirque du Soleil's OVO offers a nonstop, life-affirming, two-hour tribute to the infinitely diverse world of insects. This sensual, acrobatically dazzling show premiered in 2009 as the Montreal-based circus company's 25th production since 1984. The cast for its premiere included 54 performing artists from 16 different countries. Created and directed by Deborah Colker, OVO (Portuguese for "egg") contemplates insects in all their beauty, action and curiosity. Brazilian composer Berna Ceppas transforms their flight, leaps, creeping and crawling into a samba-influenced choreographic spectacle augmented by the constant flutter and hum of real insect sounds.
With well over a thousand performances to date, OVO long ago took flight as one of the Cirque's most popular and rewarding extravaganzas. As Albany, New York's Times Union said of OVO in 2020, "In our digital age, it's reassuring to remember that non-simulated, filter-free entertainment still has the power to dazzle and transport us."
What is Cirque du Soleil: OVO?
Upon its Montreal debut in 2009, OVO became Cirque du Soleil's most audacious and virtuosic new-circus show to date. A trio of principal characters — Master Flipo, Foreigner and Ladybug — keeps this arena spectacular in constant motion, as awestruck insects become intensely interested in a mysterious egg's sudden appearance. OVO teems with life, and Cirque du Soleil's talented cast mirrors the insect world's natural abilities to fly, balance and leap with a lifetime of practice and precision.
During one of the company's largest flying acts, 10 scarab beetles on three platforms toss a single beetle back and forth. A colorfully costumed dragonfly flits about, red ants juggle chunks of kiwi and corncobs with their feet, and butterflies cling gracefully to one another as they float through the air. For OVO's grand finale, the large span used for brilliant lighting effects transforms into a two-story climbing wall onto which trampoline-powered crickets are hurled as though onto a vertical stage. Cockroaches, grasshoppers and other insects serve as supporting characters throughout the evening's dozen acrobatic tours de force.

The story wasn’t strong but performance were great.
We were sitting at about eye level which was the perfect spot to sit. Wished we would have bought tickets more towards the center of the stage, looking directly at the stage. Still great show and the best part was that when there was people performing on stage there were multiple things to watch. The shows are fenominal and will continue to partake in the shows.

The performers were excellent. Venue was great. We'll worth the price.
This show was amazing! My daughter had tears in her eyes at the end because it was so beautiful. I can’t even articulate how beautiful it was. If you have the chance, go see one of their performances. You won’t be disappointed!
Such an amazing show! Absolutely worth the money, fantastic performance by all involved. Good sound, good lighting. The choreography and movement are top notch! These people might be better gymnasts than Olympic athletes.
Ovo exceeded my expectations! Incredible show, with exceptional performers left you in awe the entire time. When you think the skill of the performers couldn't possibly be more, they take the excitement to a higher level. Unbelievable. Highly recommend seeing this exhilarating show.
The show was amazing 🤩 I and my kids went to watch it for the first time and all were impressed!
Always wanted to see Cirque du soleil, I never expected it to be this good!! Everything was amazing 🤩
Perfect combination of sets, costumes, music, lighting, and amazing acrobatics in a beautifully surreal setting.
We really enjoyed the Cirque du Soleil: OVO show we saw at the Hershey Giant Center. Even though it was at a large venue the atmosphere still felt intimate and the show was absolutely fun and entertaining to watch! Prices weren't exactly cheap but after seeing the show I felt it was well worth it. Highly recommend folks to go see it. You won't be disappointed.
Ive seen a few Cirque shows in Vegas, and I have loved every single one. Seeing this one close to home (PA) with my daughter and mother was different. The show is very family friendly. My 5 year old loved that two of the characters fell in love. Ticket price was very affordable, and getting in and out of the venue was a breeze. I appreciate the time and talent put into these shows and will continue to attend Cirque du Soleil events! Thank you to Hershey Giant center for accommodating a night that we will remember for a long time to come!
Everything was awesome. From purchasing tickets to leaving the parking lot. I loved that i could prepay for parking and save money. The show was incredible! The entertainment was so well organized and beautifully done. The talent is quite remarkable! Never disappointed when i see a Cirque show!
Second time I've seen Cirque du Soleil... just as impressive as the first. Loved the spring theme & the emcee, who we referred to as "Danny DeVito bug"
Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Amazing talented performers draw the audience into the world of insects and for a couple of hours one forgets reality.
It was beautiful, funny, engaging. My husband and I loved it, and so did our two little kids (4 and 6). They were focused the entire time!
OVO was beautiful, captivating, inspiring, joyful, playful, and amazingly performed. Everything - the set and props, the costumes, the music, and, of course, the breathtaking and incredible performance were all top notch. We had front row seat, which would have been great EXCEPT that they were folding chairs and were placed right against each other. There was absolutely no way to avoid clashing elbows with your neighbor. However, we were still able to overlook this discomfort and enjoy the show.
I loved that they started right on time. The show was amazing!! Every performer was brilliant and entertaining! This was my first Cirque experience but I cannot wait for my next!!!
10 out of 10, would recommend. It’s was unbelievable. I was unsure what to expect going it but this show was incredible. The strength and skill of the performers is unparalleled.
