  • Good show, light version of Cirque

    by DouginNC on 1/1/25Ovens Auditorium - CharlotteRating: 4 out of 5

    Good show with a Christmas theme. To me this was like a primmer to Cirque with abbreviated performances. Good introduction to Cirque for beginners. Appropriate for children too. Oven's Auditorium in Charlotte was a good venue.

  • Nice family show.

    by Pam on 1/1/25Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 4 out of 5

    Good show for the kids. It was a little slow for the adults, but a pleasant way to celebrate the joy of Christmas.

  • Wonderful show and Nice venue

    by Sam S. on 1/1/25The Met Presented by Highmark - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    My first time to the Met was no disappointment! Beautiful venue. View from mezz 5 front row was great with no obstruction. Fun and we'll put together show. Entire family enjoyed and we'll definitely be back for more!

  • Unbelievably wonderful.

    It was wonderful. The artistry shown by the performers was captivating. It captured and conveyed the message in such a way that it was heartfelt. Thank you.

    Easy access to venues. Parking was a breeze. Efficient entry. The show was so very good. We enjoyed every part of it. The cast were on point and seemed to enjoy being there. They were great at engaging the Audience.

  • Cirque-Twas the night before Christmas

    The show was spectacular!!! I loved it. Very talented performers. We all had a marvelous time.

  • Show was wonderful!

    by Grandma B on 12/31/24Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 4 out of 5

    The show was amazing. Short, but amazing. Tickets were a little high for such a short show. We went 5 years ago and there were two parts of the show. Like, I said the show was amazing. Just a littile disappointed with the length for the price.

  • The show was great, but the theater was a bit subpar.

    by Shawn on 12/31/24The Met Presented by Highmark - PhiladelphiaRating: 3 out of 5

    In my personal opinion, seats should not be sold with "limited view". Shows are expensive and people go there to SEE it. Not to stair at a pillar.

  • Magic

    by Crazy for Christmas on 12/31/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Everything from start to finish was captivating. I hope it comes back again next year. Loved. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little Christmas magic

  • All in all a success

    by Lou on 12/31/24Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 4 out of 5

    We’ve been to a number of Cirque shows, mostly in Vegas. Compared to those, this one was a level below, but it was still magical for the grandkids. That was our primary objective, so the afternoon was a success. We were in the front row and the pre-performers were great. The one on our side was absolutely the most engaging and even high-fived my youngest grand. The kids and grandkids were mesmerized and I was in heaven seeing the wonder in their faces.

  • Outstanding Performance

    by Detroit Kev on 12/31/24Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been to 6 other different Cirque shows around the country, and this did not disappoint! I took a few friends that hadn't seen a Cirque show before and they were blown away! I enjoyed the Fox Theatre venue in Detroit because it was a more intimate setting then seeing it in Las Vegas and or at Little Caesar's Arena.

  • Great show

    by JJ on 12/31/24Ovens Auditorium - CharlotteRating: 5 out of 5

    Out of the 4 Cirque shows I've seen, this was the best. It has awesome performance and still did a good job of explaining the story that was happening.

  • Not Worth Seeing

    by NikiG on 12/31/24The Met Presented by Highmark - PhiladelphiaRating: 2 out of 5

    I have been to other Cirque shows which were amazing. Twas the Night Before Christmas is not worth seeing. Four good acts. The rest is filler. Myself and my family were bored. Do away with all the elf and mice scenes. They take up half the show and are a total waste of time. It seems like the stage was too small at The Met which limit what the performers could do. I feel like I completely wasted $500.

  • Uplifting and fun show!

    by Happy Fan on 12/31/24Ovens Auditorium - CharlotteRating: 5 out of 5

    This was my first time going to any type of Cirque du Soleil show and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The lights, timing, costumes, story, dancers, talent, etc. were superb! The only negative experience was that the ushers seating people were not very considerate of those sitting behind them (which is unusual in my experience). They would sometimes stand in front of our seats (blocking our view) while talking to one another trying to figure out where seats were. They could have easily taken two steps to the left of them and not block the view for anyone. But other than that, the show was amazing!

  • Outstanding!!!!

    by TF on 12/31/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Great way to celebrate the holidays. Fabulous melding of the cirque elements with a Christmas story.

  • Magical!

    by Ly nfa on 12/31/24Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    This show made me smile from beginning to end! I loved everything about it. From the extremely talented performers to the mystical Christmas music to the amazing sets, this show had something for kids of all ages and completely embodied the "wonder of Christmas."I saw it twice and it was pure joy. I hope it will become a yearly tradition.

  • Incredible show special for Christmas

    A complete show / with an easy line to follow , good artist . A special time for family . All the artists was amazing and the final was incredible

  • Way too basic, not impressed

    by A guest on 12/31/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 2 out of 5

    The performance was not even close to what I expected. I went to see Cirque Du Soleil year ago and it was fantastic. This time I felt that my 9 year old granddaughter could do it with some training. Way too many “performances” in between the main acts, that were really boring, I felt asleep, which was a first in my life and I have gone to many performances. Very disappointed.

  • Twas OK, not great

    by LP on 12/31/24Meridian Hall - TorontoRating: 1 out of 5

    This was an ok sideshow not the typical fantastic, amazing and gravity defying Cirque show that I’ve seen in the past. It’s a shame that the cost of the show didn’t support the quality. If I knew, I would’ve opted for a full/regular Cirque show. Story was nice, just not worth the cost. There was too much dancing and standing around vs actual acrobatic tricks.

  • Awesome show!!!

    by Kathy on 12/31/24The Met Presented by Highmark - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Highly recommend this show. The performers were unbelievable. The excitement never stopped.
