    Lackluster

    by No name on 1/2/24The Theater at MSG - New York

    The show was entertaining, but I felt it was a little lackluster. Once you've been to a Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, this was pale by comparison. Not sure it was worth the hassle.

    Great show but AWFUL and chaotic venue

    by Michelle G on 1/2/24The Theater at MSG - New York

    The show was spectacular. The performances were mesmerizing and really fun-- we really enjoyed the show once we were able to actually see the show. Trying to enter The Theater at Madison Square Garden was a true nightmare. The lobby was utter chaos with no real organizational system; it was a free-for-all with guests congregating in a general area and then instructed to move towards the escalators en masse. There was no signage or clearly defined queue lines. There were no employees visible to direct traffic. Just hundreds of people fighting to get through and pushing each other. All of this to finally get to our floor but then be stopped from entering the theater so we missed the opening act. We arrived 30 minutes before the show began therefore this is unacceptable. We will not return to a show here.

    Fun but .....

    by ChicagoMom on 1/2/24The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    The show was fun but seemed like the elves at the beginning were getting a bit long. I call them the commercials of the performance. They would always appear when there was a break in the story. So there were too many and too long of the commercial breaks. The program did not seem like a cirque du soleil program because there was not a lot of 'cirque' performances, only one with 2 folks flying and swinging around. The show was a lot of dancing. I enjoyed it but expected more.

    A review of Cirque

    by Cirque du Saleil at Madison Sq Garden on 1/1/24The Theater at MSG - New York

    The music was incredible and the performances quite professional and energetic. There were some surprises too, like the reindeer performers jumping through hoops and the young woman riding a bicycle in ways I had never seen before. Very much a family oriented show.

    This is not your typical Cirque

    by ChicagoVisit on 1/1/24The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    The show was nice but not as fun or impressive as your standard Cirque Du Soleil- for what it was the performers were great, but what you see under the big top is certainly more impressive show. It was a fun and nice time but know that what you’re spending is for a different experience than you might expect

    Disappointed

    by Fakhriya on 12/31/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    It was very disappointing. Expected way more. Was waiting for a finale but never ended up happening. Nothing wowed me and it’s all been seen before. There was also many mistakes during the performance.

    Best Christmas Show!

    by Ileana on 12/31/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    I took my daughter and her family to this Cirque du Soleil Christmas performance and they said it was the best Xmas gift ever! I hoped there would be a program so I could know the names of all those excellent performers. Thank you!

    Horribly organized venue

    by Polina on 12/31/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    The Cirque du Soleil show was great as always! BUT the MSG entrance procedure was very poorly organized, even if you came 30 min ahead, the line was over an hour, meaning you would miss half of the show. They did not have enough staff to direct people, several major shows were taking place at the same time and many super long lines. Very confusing and unclear as to where to go. I was expecting much more from the MSG.

    Kids loved it!

    by Gardener on 12/31/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Our grandchildren loved the entire show! The dancing was average and took up much of the show. The acrobatics was the highlight of the show but not as extensive as previous shows we have seen. The bicycle section was phenomenal!

    Above and beyond

    by Christine on 12/31/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    This show’s performance was way above and beyond my expectations! I took my two 20 something children with me and we all thought the show was amazing. We were concerned during the first minute that it began that this was not going to be entertaining enough for us and thought it was going to be a performance mainly for small children. Well we were so excitedly surprised after that first minute. So much talent, artistry and breath holding acrobats. Will go again next year.

    Not their best work

    by AJ on 12/31/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    Storyline poor. Venue poor and uncontrolled. Not as spectacular as previous cirque de Soleil shows I have seen. Was very dissapointed.

    Ugh!

    by JJ on 12/31/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    More Nickelodeon than Cirque-this should not have had the cirque name-very disappointed; However those 3-10 years old seemed to really enjoy it.
