Cirque du Soleil: Crystal Tickets

Great experience, LOVED the show

Best show that I seen in a long while. Action packed, awesome stunts throughout the entire show. Great for all ages.

Impressive showmanship. Not especially memorable.

I am reluctant to give an unsatisfactory review to a production which clearly was executed by master craftsman and performers. The lights, costumes, and acrobatics were splendid. There were moments that were captivating. The shortcoming, for me, was in wrapping the show around a not-especially interesting concept, and having to sit through the storyline as it slowly played out before finally revealing those many aspects of Cirque which provide joy and wonder. Just two months ago, I found myself quite enthralled by "Lucia." Its conceit of a dream of Mexico worked. In the case of "Crystal," however, which involves the yearnings of a girl to break out of the stultifying restrictions of her home life (or am I mistaken about the theme?), while it may have been inspired in its conception, it was less engaging on stage.

Absolutely amazing. I would go again in a heart beat

A unique experience with fun moments and filler.

I found Cirque du Soleil's previous arena show, Avatar, to just be okay. This show was much better but still not up to the level of their tent shows. The stage comprises of an ice skating rink, props, and a set in the back. Multiple performers portray the main character, Crystal, and I found the primary one to be the best of the show. She actually did the least stunts, but she was a great performer and very likeable. The production value was excellent and enhanced the show. The stunts were just okay, with typical things like juggling and skating off ramps. In fact, there was a lot of filler. One portion consisted simply of three skaters hanging out at the rink taking turns doing moves (like typical ice skating spins) and expecting applause after every move. In fact, they seemed short-staffed because performers in the printed program book didn't appear in the actual show. For example, the program showed two jugglers, a male and a female, doing tricks with each other. The actual show comprised only of the male juggler doing routine solo juggling stuff, and that was it. As a result of this apparent filler stuff, I found myself waiting for the show to end, which usually doesn't happen at Cirque du Soleil shows. There were parts of the show that literally comprised of skaters just skating around in circles. This show would be much better if they cut the show performance by about 20 minutes (and also removing the long intermission), and eliminating much of the filler. I understand the show was trying to tell a story, but with these Cirque du Soleil shows the storyline is usually very vague and hard for casual viewers to decipher anyhow. I had to refer to the program to read what each scene represented. I think most people are there for the experience and acrobatics, rather than a deep storyline experience.

OMG it’s awesome

Great athletes on skates. Wonderful performance. Still can’t believe it went up in 8 weeks.

Great show like most Cirque Du Soleil programs!

I've been to several Cirque shows so far and this was one of the top ones in terms of ingenuity, creativity, and sheer breathtaking acrobatics. Very unique in that the whole show is on ice - highly recommend!

Great show just what you'd expect from a Cirque performance. Add ice and you get a unique show.

Crystal

This was a very unique show for Cirque! It was amazing what some performers could do on the ice without skates and what other artists could do on equipment with skates! The music was quite different from other Cirque shows as well ...they used popular songs - not their own original compositions.

Cirque Crystal was phenomenal

Seen Cirque before, but to take acrobatics, the balancing acts, and all of the other impressive demonstrations of physical excellence and ability and put it on ice was truly AMAZING!

Amazing!

Go! Get Tickets! This is the best show I have ever seen. I could not take my eyes off the ice. It is family friendly and fun. GO Get tickets now!
