The performers were sensational entertaining and so talented. The live music singers and band created such a fun high energy vibe and this matched the performances throughout the night. The acrobatics and shows on stage were enthralling and adding an audience member to the stage was also wonderful.

The clowns were so funny and interactive and the performances were incredible. Just when you thought they couldn't do anything more amazing, they would add another level of challenge. We were all spellbound and can't wait to see another Cirque du Soleil.

All the performances were fascinating. A very big thank you to all the performers and the staff behind the stage. The atmosphere was as good as it can get in a venue like this. However, $20 for parking in a dust bin is a shame.

What I loved most was the feeling of not knowing what could happen next. Every few minutes there was another moment that made me look at the stage and think, ‘How is that even possible?’ The mix of music, movement, costumes and incredible physical skill created a completely different world for a couple of hours. It was beautiful, strange, funny and impressive at the same time. Definitely one of those shows you keep thinking about after you leave.

Amazing show highly recommended a lovely afternoon out. The performers are talented and mesmerising we did not take our eyes off them for a second! It's unfair to select a favourite as they all were spectacular if I must the unicycle duo and the human mouse wheel wow no words in ore of those performances. The comedy acts added perfectly to the mix when this show is back in town will definitely go again!

Cirque du Soleil is always good entertainment. Even the setups and transitions are enjoyable to watch. The circus acts themselves are nearly always flawless. With so many years of experience, CdS is one slick act! We'll be back for the next one.

This was the first Circe du Soleil show that I have experienced and I was not prepared for the storytelling and how the different acts layered into the story. The costumes, the acts, the clowns, all had me moved to literal tears!
