    Cute but not fab

    by MP on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    I’ve been to a number of Cirque du Soleil shows and this was the most underwhelming one. It was cute, but was not on brand. It didn’t wow me like all other Cirque shows I’ve seen.

    Underwhelming

    by RickM on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    Not up to par with other Cirque performances - quite a bit of filler and less of the usual remarkable athleticism of all the performers, especially in contrast with the productions in Vegas. Might be somewhat due to the venue - a stage versus a center ring - but also, the seats at the MSG theater are not high enough to prevent the head of the person in front from blocking one's view. Both detracted from the sense of connection with the performers that makes their talents and feats so remarkable.

    Great performers, not so great venue

    by Great performance on 12/27/23Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    The parking was horrendous. Arrive an hour early to get into the parking garage. We ended up parking somewhere else and walking. Show started late. My guess would be all the people trying to park. There were no ushers on the floor. Our view was interrupted 3 times over seating errors Great show that I would see again, just not at this venue.

    Family entertainment for Xmas

    by MartinPurpleValley on 12/27/23Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Great acts to help tell a traditional story so try new interpretations. Some of the performers were just amazing. I learnt there are 5 ways to ride a bike.

    Mediocre

    by Sha_Brig on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    I was disappointed in the overall performance. I was expecting more of a regal and sensual performance given its Cirque du Soleil and instead I received more of a child-like theme not meant for mature audiences (I am a 36F). The performance did not live up to the advertisement and marketing presented on Instagram. I wish a disclaimer was made detailing that the show is not inline with traditional CDS performances.

    Was ok

    by AZ on 12/27/23Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Play was ok good if you are in elementary school or if you like shows for kids. Horrible seating in section 304 could barely see as there were high rails blocking our view and we were so far away hard to get a good view

    Amazing show - TERRIBLE audience etiquette

    by Carole on 12/27/23Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    This was our 6th Cirque du Soleil show, and as always, it exceeded our expectations. They really find new ways to blow away the audience with every show and performance. Unfortunately - their performance was interrupted constantly by rude and inconsiderate attendees. At least 50 people walked in and had to find their seats 30-40 minutes late. The show didn’t even start until 3:20 - with a 3:00pm start time. No dimming of the lights or an announcement to signal the audience to take their seats. This blocked the views and distracted the audience (and likely the performers) for the first 30 minutes of the show. Throughout the entire performance people kept getting up and blocking our views and going in and out. A man in our row actually got up to throw a can away within 5 minutes of the show ending. People rushed out early to beat the rush and blocked our view for the last few minutes of the show. I wish there were an announcement about getting the audience seated, and then again about remaining seated for the duration of the show (I understand there are emergencies but throwing a can away isn’t one.) I wish staff would’ve helped enforce these procedures as well. I can’t imagine how distracting this was to all audience members and performers.

    Captivating, funny and ridiculously talented performers

    by Wren on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    The show was amazing. The storyline was clear and the performers were incredible. The only challenge was the venue- the seats aren’t raked well, so children or those of us who are shorter or average height could have some difficulty seeing the whole stage depending on who sat in front of you- and we sat in one of the further back sections, not on the floor in front of the stage which seemed quite level. It was also frustrating that many people came in late and walked up and down the aisles and getting whole rows to stand up so they could get to their seats, blocking the view of many- I hope the venue can control this a little better, though I’m sure they tried to do their best. The performance itself was incredible and would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

    Modern, unique, and entertaining!

    by Jt on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    I wouldn’t consider this your typical cirque de soleil show, but it is highly entertaining. The upbeat, fast paced show keeps you engaged and entertained throughout! I truly enjoyed how modern and sophisticated the show was. By far the best Christmas show I’ve seen to date! I was expecting a little more acrobatics since it was cirque but ultimately, left very satisfied. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 and not 5 is because I felt there was a little more down time in between scenes, considering there didn’t really seem to be any set changes. Otherwise, the show is for kids and adults. I would recommend to everyone!

    Captivating

    by Rudolph the red nose on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    I attends the show with my wife and 3 daughters ages 14, 6 & 4. They were all captivated by the performance and music. Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve in the big City.

    Very Disappointed

    by Stacy on 12/27/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Very simple acts, average dancers, godd music and production. Might be interested for a 4 years old kids, not worth the money I paid. I have found better dancers and acts in a resort in México

    Not bad

    by Ali on 12/27/23The Theater at MSG - New York

    Lack of respect for the performers. A lot of late attendees, talking throughout the performance. No effort to make it feel festive. Forgettable experience I’m afraid
