Cirque du Soleil has been on my bucket list for some time and it did not disappoint! The creativity between clean up of the water and prop setup was especially impressive. There was constant means of interacting with the audience which added a good touch and made the experience more enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the second last scene with the water and the leopard, overall great experience and definitely worth it!

As always Cirque du Soleil never disappoints. It pairs clever light hearted humor with wow factor feats and stunts all packaged in what is always a joyful experience. I saw people of all ages - tiny three year olds on parents laps and old folks like me - and everyone in between all mesmerized and laughing and spontaneously clapping - just an amazing experience. Can't wait for the next one.
