Good Times

Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great story. Well done modifications of Christmas classic songs. Acrobatics and choreography were good. Couldn’t ask for more from a show that’s not permanently housed (as in Vegas.). Even with a couple errors in the juggling and reindeer games, excellent way to spend the evening. ... Read more

Good family spectacle

This show was great. This is my first experience with Cirque du Soleil so I don't have the high falutin Vegas benchmark, but I thought the talent was professional, well beyond high school, and there was definitely no weird cat pooping scene during the show that someone mentioned. My kids enjoyed the show and we were in the nosebleeds. Tickets cost $30 to $80 whereas in Vegas they cost $80 to $200. I was thoroughly impressed by the performers and would see this show again. The skaters stood out as well as the bicycle riding, don't think I've ever seen someone ride a bike like that before. My recommendation is to park in the theatre district self park garage at 181 N Dearborn, definitely use spothero app on your phone or else you will pay significantly more to park. Like $20 vs $60. Christkindlmart is only a few blocks away in Daley Plaza for the holidays, so make an evening of it. ... Read more
