For Kids
Unfortunately, while my boyfriend and i were super excited to see this, it felt like going to see a theater production hosted for children. Very lacking in “wow†factor, a little boring, silly dialogue that continued for much longer than the actual performances… overall just a major let down. If you don’t have children, i recommend skipping this production and waiting for the next one.
Acrobats and performance decent - stage design and music seriously lacking.
I have been going to cirque for decades and it was so sad to see how poor and lacking the stage design, costume design and music was for this performance. No live orchestra as there usually is in the past. Really did the talent such disrespect. Skimping on these things really brought down what amazing performance these acrobatics and performers had to give. It looked cheap, dull and small. I used to get chills with the spectacle of how carefully everything was brought together from the sound to the costumes to the stage design every last perfect detail thought out perfectly and brought together so they could hold their Crown Jewels the performers their amazing talent in the best possible way. Such a disappointment lackluster and sad what’s it’s become. Sad for these amazing talented people and a jip to the fans.
Was this a knock off show or the understudy crew.
Well, after making excuses for the performers all night I've decided to just be honest. First, Why shouldnt I expect the same level of performance I've seen in Vegas, well better yet I saw a show in Spartanburg SC years back and it was great. But this show started slow, very slow, since the entire show was slow. The music selection for this show, "Cirque De Soleil Holidaze" was notably not good. Most of the acts chosen were none engaging and pretty boring. I kept waiting for the good part until the curtain closed. It wasn't just me, cause when some of the performers finished their acts....crickets....then they would throw their hands up twice to make sure the crowd knew they were done to signal applause. The girl with the balls and the guy balancing on the cylinders were my favorites. They didnt make mistakes, and had me cringing, but with excitement. Everything else was blah...Dont think you can come to Greenville with a sub par show and get 5 stars based on legacy. We expect better!
Viewing the Show
We paid $150 for our seats including tax but we were to one side. The entire show is geared towards the middle of the Viejas arena, including a background image that is projected on the back wall. If you don't have middle seats beware. The performers were incredible the "story" was crass and stupid.
Ho hum
Where to start? Boring, slow, stupid “story line†that went on far longer than should have been expected to change scenes. Cirque “clowns†are usually a distraction—didn’t expect a stupid boy-meets-girl-who-hits-him- over-the-head-for-making-an-advance-that-she-totally-wanted piss-poor attempt at teenage rom-com. Awful! Best part of the show was (and usually is) the trampoline wall stunts. So sad we had to pay $140 a ticket to suffer through the first 40 minutes AND intermission to get to it. At least it was over after that. Would have left at intermission if we didn’t have (similarly disappointed) guests with us. Have seen a couple other shows (“Oâ€, Love) in Vegas and Boston. Should have known we were getting the “B†(“Câ€???) troop in Manchester.
