KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities

See it if You want great circus acts presented in an unusual, stylish way. You want to be thrilled, scared & entertained in the same show.

Don't see it if You hate the circus. You prefer a more traditional approach to the circus.

See it if you enjoy dance, acrobatics, juggling done to live music with gorgeous costumes and imaginative staging. Visually astounding!

Don't see it if you are transportationally challenged - slow buses and parking costs $25. Disliking circus acts would also be a drawback.

See it if You like circus shows that are clever. Cirque du Soleil continues to surprise me with new and amazing acts. And it's animal free!

Don't see it if You find it difficult to travel to Randall's Island.

See it if you like over-the-top spectaculars, or you like acrobatics, or you're on a date, or you're taking the kids.

Don't see it if you want conventional theater, with characters and a plot and dialog. Or if you have a strong dislike for steampunk.

Also The VIP package may be worth the price. It comes with great seats, free beer and wine (both before the show and during intermission), and enough passed hors d'oeuvres that you can call it dinner.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't want to see a fun show for the whole family.

See it if you have not seen other Cirque productions. There are definitely acts that are impressive but overall it was not as good as Totem or O.

Don't see it if you have seen other Cirque productions. Although some acts were good, there was too much emphasis parading around very creative costumes.

Also We took the bus from 125th St. The pickup was 90 minutes prior to the show which left us standing in the parking lot for 30 minutes. We thought we would be able to get a light bite before the show since we had so much time - but the food available only included hot dogs, cotton candy, pretzels, and nachos - nothing nutritious so that was very disappointing.

We were glad we had booked the shuttle because the line up for the bus was miles long.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like Cirque du Soleil, circus, steampunk, or don't want to go to Randall's Island

See it if You like Cirque de Soleil. If you have never seen them perform you will be enchanted and spellbound.

Don't see it if You have expectations of seeing dangerous stunts which I have seen in their other shows. This one is very tame.

Also I love their shows, get Tix months in advance and sit in the first row. This one didn't particularly stay with me or awe me, but it is lovely nonetheless. From what I understand it is better to take the regular M35 bus rather than pay for the shuttle which often arrives late to the show. You have to go to Lexington and 125 to get the M35 and i waited 35 minutes for its arrival.... Read more Read less

Also This was incredible. Very easy to get to Randall's Island & well worth the trip. My first cirque du soleil and I was mesmerized besides seeing a snippet in Paramour. I was afraid to clap at times for fear of distracting the performers. Every performer had me engaged. family show and fun for everyone. It's a little over two hours but the time flew by. Support this show!! See it!! Tell a Friend! Bring a friend!!... Read more Read less
