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.
Boring Show
by Nataliha on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5The show was boring left at halftime I will say coming in it was quick. The staff was fabulous. I had a hard time pulling up my ticket on the phone because there’s no Wi-Fi in the building. went to the counter, I gave the lady my name and 123 there I was escorted to my seart
Another great Cirque performance.
by Brian on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5Call me biased, as I've seen at least a half dozen Cirque shows. But they all have great Production values, Top Notch acrobats & performers, cute story lines, creative costumes, etc. Tickets are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, which is Great Entertainment.
Incredible show
by Stan on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5It’s always overwhelming to see CDS shows. It was incredible and amazing show!
Never dissapointed
by CirqueLover on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5While all circus acts tend to have the same structure, Cirque du Suleil always brings a new atmosphere that makes you want to watch.
Great visuals
by Em on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 4 out of 5Fun costumes and performers, not as many daring-type stunts but very impressive nonetheless. Good energy throughout the show!
performance was a little sleepy
by Lulu on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 3 out of 5Of all the Cirque performances I've attended, this was the least dynamic. Storyline was very slow paced and the acrobatics were not that impressive for a Cirque show. The spiders segment was the best part.
Great human performance, no good "story"
by Basia S. on 2/19/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 3 out of 5Fairly well organized parking guidance, clean, accessible WC, good seatings. Excellent performance of human body capabilities, decent choreography , but I felt that there was not a good "story". Could use more good humor.
Amazing

Fun Family Outing
by Loon on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5I had bought tickets for the floor and it was amazing! Seeing all the performers up close in their magnificent costumes was so cool! Love these Cirque De Soleil performances, so talented! Definitely will go to more events when they come here! 💗💗💗
Funny and impressive!!
by Dog lover on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5The artists in this performance were fantastic!! I bought the tickets for my husband for Christmas. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! There was a mix of comedy, dancing, music, aerials, acrobatics, amazing strength and flexibility!! Our only concern was the leg room in the rows. Other than that, feel it would fit almost all ages! Highly recommend!

Nice Night Out, but Far From Best Show
by Sn on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 3 out of 5The show had nice moments. The costumes and lighting were spot on as always with Cirque. However, the clown and story were lacking. The act’s only 2 had me mesmerized. I have seen it done better or at higher difficulty at other shows. This is one of my least favorite Cirques. It was a nice night out. Slackwire, contortionists, and free hand aerialist were the best.
greatly entertaining show
by lulu on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5never disappointed with Cirque de Soleil shows! so very talented and fast paced show great family fun
Great Family Show
by Cin O on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 4 out of 5This was a cute show with a simple love story that unfolded during the set up the acts. The characters are all insects and there was a giant egg that was a great mystery. The acts were all well performed. The most amazing was the human trapeze act and the trampoline acts.
Fabulous
by Ci on 2/18/25NOW Arena - Hoffman EstatesRating: 5 out of 5Wonderful performance - absolutely beautifully designed scenes that mimic nature while sounds of the outdoor world play in the background. Loved it!
