TWAS THE NIGHT WAS ENTERTAINING

Cynical Season Ticket holder for ballet and Rep here. Minus one * for the hotel luggage trolley acrobat. She was great, the trolley? Eh!

DISAPPOINTED

Nothing special. Set was boring and never changed. Maybe I’m spoiled by seeing performances by Cirques at the Shakespeare theatre and Las Vegas. If you haven’t seen the real thing you may be okay with this weak imitation and you don’t expect much.

FAR BELOW THE BAR.

Truly if you’ve ever seen a show of CdS, you know immediately this was far below their usual standards. So much fillers by mediocre dancing - yes it was cute - but not CDS quality good. Most acts were so so - except for the aerial parts and especially the lady hanging from her hair. The bike was pretty good too. But for some reason the whole storyline was bizarre and it just didn’t flow. Very cool for kids. But not what we would and should expect from a CDS act.

BEYOND DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!!

I have seen better high school performances. To think we paid over $200 for these tickets. I have been to several of these shows and was not expecting a Vegas show but also not expecting this armature performance.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ‘‘TWAS THE NIGHT MILWAUKEE

My friend and I were thoroughly underwhelmed and disappointed. Previous Cirque shows we had seen were astounding. This show shouldn’t be associated with that brand name. Only a couple of props on stage, a few aerial performers, a juggler, a bicyclist (which was pretty good) and dancers dancing to a mediocre choreography. Spent way too much on this show. Might have been good for kids though.

MILDLY ENTERTAINING, NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM A CIRQUE SHOW

Took my 3 teens, expecting thrilling acts and entertainment, as I've experienced in the past with Cirque shows. Most of the acts felt subdued - they had some moments that were interesting but didn't build into much. Lots of dancing that seemed to mainly fill the time. The story was difficult to understand. Most impressed with the roller skating act and the diabolos. Tickets were really expensive though - moreso than my regular season tickets to the Fox - and honestly, Circus Flora puts on a much better show. Wanted to love it but it didn't hold up to expectations. Save your money.

NOT REALLY UP TO STANDARDS

Really disappointed. They should not use the same name. Cirque du Soleil is known for OVER THE TOP stage performances. This was not anything like that. They mixed in a juggler, two aerial gymnasts a roller skating couple and a bicycle balance act. I applauded the stage people for their good jobs but it felt like they were trying out for the big show. In between these singular acts was a slow musical and dance routine that was almost as interesting as a high school play. I'm sorry, unless you are wanting take a young child to see a stage performance, save your money. Not worth it and I was fooled because it was....Cirque Du Soleils name...
