Enchanting, Refreshing, Masterful, Ambitious, Entertaining

See it if looking for a local cirque show. Some of the acts you may have seen on TV before, but its amazing to watching these talented actors live.

Don't see it if looking for a show with a real story or theme. Comedy was lacking in this cirque.

Fun, Snowy, Sparkly, Christmas, Cirque du soleil

See it if you’re a fan of Cirque du Soleil’s brand of quirky storytelling and spectacle or you want a fluffy show to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Don't see it if you are looking for a deep and nuanced story or you don’t like seeing humans perform superhuman acts of strength, flexibility, and agility. Read more

Delightful, Funny, Fun interoperation, Skilled performers, Great staging

See it if for the fabulous acrobatics, joyous performances and hiphop reworking of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Don't see it if you expect Cirque's traditional in the aisles interactions with the audience. The action is all behind the proscenium.

Fluffy, Great bicycling, Good juggling, Good acrobatics, Entertaining

See it if you want to see a shorter child friendly Cirque du Soleil show vaguely related to the classic Christmas classic story

Don't see it if you don’t care for acrobatics or want to see one of the full length more elaborate Cirque productions Read more

Slow, Overrated, Disappointing, Dated, Banal

See it if there's nothing else to see and you're in the 1/2 price price line at tkts. There are a few great acts but everything else was was tired.

Don't see it if you're expecting a good cirque show. I've always loved their shows, but this is 2 steps below a theme park show.
