AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

My mother had bought tickets and as a 30 year old millennial, I didn’t know what to expect. When I left, I was literally MESMERIZED! This performance screams talent and truly gives the audience and exceptional show! This is MUST for the holiday season and for ALL AGES! I absolutely loved it and to try to describe it would do it a disservice. I hope they return but this time to NYC!

SOON TO BE A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TRADITION

I expected Cirque du Soleil and got so much more. Fast paced and entertaining for the whole family. The acrobatics alone steal the show, but being a show within a show, the narrative is engaging to follow as well. Going through different time periods of Christmas Eve was novel and surprisingly taught morals and the real spirit of Christmas. Which is magical hugs and the time spent with family and friends.

GOOD FAMILY SHOW FOR A SMALLER VENUE-NOT THE FOX

The performers gave their all & if this show had been in a nightclub setting or any small intimate venue, it would have been very enjoyable. Whoever booked this show for the Fox Theater did a disservice to the audience & the performers. It is just too big a theater to give the audience a fair chance to enjoy the performances on the small part of the stage that was used. Would go to see the show again if it played somewhere smaller-like The Sheldon or the Focal Point. These people work too hard not to be fully appreciated.

A MAGICAL CIRQUE CHRISTMAS

Performance was wonderfully entertaining. Performers were not only acrobatic but professional contemporary dancers as well. Music, although not live, was energetic and added so much to the show. Lighting and digital backdrop lent to the excitement as well. I would recommend for any age and hope that it will be a holiday tradition in Pittsburgh.

PARAMOUNT THEATER

Was somewhat disappointed with the show at the Paramount Theater. Very little acrobatics and it wasn't like the YouTube previews. A bit disappointing.

3.0 star rating Susan from Columbus, OH

CIRQUE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS

The Columbus Ohio show was ok. I was expecting the quality of Cirque Du Soleil and it wasn't. It was a good show, storyline not kid oriented, all around alcohol. The acrobat and juggling performers we're good. The singer was only ok. And the plot and story left allot to be desired. There were times that my grandkids were bored, with songs that weren't fun and upbeat. And not something they knew or understood the adult commentary around. Would I recommend for families NO! I think there is better entertainment for the kids. Would I spend money to see again No!!!

DISAPPOINTING

This was nothing compared to what was displayed on videos. I actually considered walking out. No shame on the performers however it was a small production and only a few performers. I honestly felt duped : / this was in Manchester NH

2019 SHOW TRULY DISAPPOINTED

Was excited for this Christmas show but was extremely disappointed. First of all some ticketholders were onstage! What is that about? Secondly the MC was kind of irritating and onstage ALOT! The performers were ok and very talented but this was hyped as a Christmas show and I wasn't feeling it. Very pricey for what was delivered and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

NOT WORTH IT !

Don’t get your hopes up very limited just a few preformed. At the Dolby in Hollywood I expected a WOW this was not very disappointed . The advertising is very misleading. I felt like I was watching a indoor street act . Payed way to much for theses tickets!

2.0 star rating Ron from Owensboro, KY

NOTHING MAGICAL

Performance in Owensboro, KY 12/11/23. Small scale production with limited act variety. Too many duplicate acts. Sound track music was good, but note that it was a sound track, nothing live. Corny and boring story line. I'm sure the kids will be asking their parents who Magic Mike is. Seriously, this was mentioned more than once. This was not a Cirque performance, more like an AGT talent show, first round. If you have seen an actual Cirque show, you will feel disappointed.

2.0 star rating Ryan from Cincinnati

NOT AFFILIATED WITH CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

So don’t get your hopes up like we did. Should have done more research, hyped this up to my three kids and they were bored half the time. Repetitive acts that didn’t really mesh well with the “story”. The drummer dropped his sticks multiple times. Would have been worth $20 not $75. December 2023.

NOT UP TO CIRQUE LEVEL

Actors tried hard to provide entertainment Grandkids bored! Canned sound track LOUD Extremely BRIGHT lights in audience eyes Definitely would not recommend for kids

1.0 star rating Tracy elchyshyn from New York, New York

AWFUL

This show was truly awful and a waste of two hours I can never get back. The plot is nothing short of flimsy. Just get rid of it altogether. The bubble blowing was right out of a kids birthday party. The music lacked power. One of the redeeming scenes was with the bicyclist. They simply needed the make it a comedy by playing her bringing out a new wrapped present each time and he had to rise to the challenges. They did that with the little bike, but it would have been better to do it throughout the scene. And finally, labeling this as a “Cirque” Christmas sets a certain level of expectation in talented singers, actors, and performers…this was the D cast of cirque.

A HORRIBLE PRODUCTION IN CHICAGO , NOTING LIKE IT WAS ADVERTISED. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

One of the worst shows I have ever been to, we left at intermission. Absolutely felt duped! It was VERY amateurish and NOTHING LIKE THE ADVERTISEMENTS. I will never go to a show producted by MagicSpace Entertainment ever again. The music, the stage sets and the cast were all equal to a middle school play. As we left, and were complaining, the security guard heard us and said he had been hearing the same reviews all week, and that he witnessed more people leave at intermission for this show than any other show in his 20 years of working at theaters in Chicago. The CIBC theater management should be ashamed for allowing such a sham in their theater...

1.0 star rating Kathy from Washington, District of Columbia

VERY DISAPPOINTING

Not at all as advertised! This is a poor stage performance with canned soundtrack, poor video quality for tabletop magic acts, amateur sets, and a flimsy storyline. Incredibly disappointed in National Theater for bringing this show to its stage. We do not recommend.

1.0 star rating from Austin, TX

DISAPPOINTING

The show was not at all what was advertised. It was the same tricks repeated over and over. I can’t believe how much I spent on the tickets. They really missed the mark and should also change how this is sold.

1.0 star rating LaLa from Pearland, Texas

DISAPPOINTING

This was the worst Cirque show I've ever seen! And I've gone all over the world to see the Cirque shows! It was cheesy and totally uninspiring. It was a kid show that cost too much for such lack of stage presence. Fat guy with a white T-shirt lifting a woman as his big belly stood out! It lacked luster and star power! Total let down!
