We paid for our tickets too! And just as much as everyone else, so how do you expect us to see??! Anyone in sections 4-5 (seat prices the same as 1,2,3) will pay for their seats, and their seats only. Nothing more. Nothing to see but a huge metal post (represented by a small silver diamond on seating chart) blocking - everything. Everyone in these sections was just leaning right and left the whole time trying to get a glimpse of something, anything. Terrible experience! These sections should be non existent. We moved to higher empty seats and the experience was just as awful. The part with the archer was the worst. The lady had her back to us and it was as if the show was meant only for people in the middle section. Very unprofessional read more

This was truly a sh*t show in every respect. They had massive lines at the "Will Call" window and only 2 incompetent people working. After waiting 30 min in that line, we had the pleasure of waiting another 30 in the line to get in. They eventually got so overwhelmed, and the show was 45 min LATE getting started, that they literally started just collecting Groupons, Living Socials, and Certifikid vouchers and putting blue dots on peoples hands with a blue highlighter. -_- When we went into the tiny little tent, it was sweltering hot- they had a few giant fans blowing to circulate air. The seats were fine, you had a decent view from every seat. The clown was incredibly annoying, the acts where only mildly entertaining, and frankly just before intermission, my 5 year old was begging to leave. This child LOVES shows- but she was miserable, and so was I. We ended up leaving during the intermission because we didn't want to sit in the parking lot traffic jam again for another 30 min when the mad rush of people left. We paid $27 for 2 adults, and nothing for the kids because they had advertising everywhere that kids were free. Of course when we got there the lady at Will Call tried to tell me that it wasn't for people who bought deal tickets. Then she tried to tell me there were no more kids tickets left for sale. WTF. We stood in line for 30 min, and we had bought 2 adult tickets. There was nothing in the small print about not combining offers. ANYWAY- I'm not proud to say I totally lost my cool about that. Especially since they were literally marking hands haphazardly with a highlighter at this point without even looking at the papers. Eventually she just marked our kids hands as well. Guess what- once inside- the place had tons of open seats. SMH. Anyway, this show is just terrible. Save your money. read more

READ NEXT THREE SENTENCES BEFORE YOU GO. We saw the Water Circus Gold. Our experience did not match the description. Too many cheap tricks and silly stunts. I doubt there was A/C as they claimed because it was sweltering. They said there would be divers and mermaids and dinosaurs. There were none of those. The ring master/clown started doing a mock stripper routine as a joke (family friendly?). I have respect for the perfomers' talent BUT this was very poorly coordinated. 30% of the show time was stage set up. There would be song changes in the middle of a trick and it threw the vibe of the acts. The song choices were obviously trying to mimic certain iconic American top hit songs, but they were not tasteful variations- just tacky knock-offs. The saxophone player at the end was off key the whole time he played "What a Wonderful World." The archery act was so slow. They did about 5 stunts for it and before each stunt we just waited for 2 minutes while they set up. There were 3 or so impressive acrobatic routines. Overall, good family fun, but we were very mislead as to the content and quality. read more

Great place o buy and meet with businesses that have artwork and furniture from the old country. Great Coffee food and desserts. Great company and ladies here. Shop and enjoy. read more

This was a wonderful evening in GAITHERSBURG, MD. The show was awesome. The combination of water, acrobats, and music is fantastic. The entertainers were funny too, and filled the gaps appropriately during set-up and between acrobat stunts. read more

Posting this here because Yelp doesn't handle traveling shows very well and this one has the most reviews: I saw the Water Circus 1 Silver show in Austin on 2/9/2018, and had a fun time. The performers were all quite skilled and engaging. There was a wide range of acts including juggling, tightrope walks, contortion, aerial performances, laser shows, and clowning. The water feature is pretty but not integral to the performances. Everything was family friendly with maybe a couple scary moments but nothing unsuitable for kids. The personalities of the performers really showed through and became an important part of the act. The audience participation with the clown included lots of fun creative distractions. Clowns usually creep me out a little bit but this one did a great job relating to the audience and getting us caught up in the emotions of the show. If you want to increase your chances of participation try to sit in the front sections or on the aisles close up. The funnel cake was some of the best I've ever had because it was substantial without being too oily. The rest of the food is carnival style like nachos, popcorn, cotton candy, and corn dogs. It was nothing to write home about and prices were a little better than some movie theaters I've been to recently. Food and drinks are cash only. The ticket is good value for the money, compared with other similar traveling performances that I've seen. The tent is pretty small and all of the seats have a good view so I wouldn't bother with sitting up close unless you want to be near to the clown. Don't go in expecting Cirque du Soleil level production values but do go expecting creativity and genuine performances. The Austin venue did not require pay for parking as I've seen other reviewers complain about elsewhere. read more

Please see my review and photos under Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Gaithersburg, MD. Worth seeing if you make it out there today or tomorrow or if comes to a city near you. The only thing is that it shouldn't be advertised as an aquatic spectacular. I was expecting a water tank with performers above or in it, but the water part was a small part of the show, where an aerialist performed with fountains squirting around her. It was beautiful, but not a big water thing. read more

Not sure why people are leaving such negative reviews. People clearly are not paying Cirque du Soleil prices, but are still expecting to see a Cirque du Soleil show?? The climate control wasn't that bad either. It was humid under the big top, but bearable. I paid $55 through CertifiKID for myself and my 3 children (ages 7, 8, and 10) and wasn't sure what to expect besides a fun night out with my kiddos. We absolutely loved the show! My kids were in awe and had a great time. I wasn't expecting Cirque du Soleil. I was expecting a smaller scale show, which is exactly what it was for $55. (The cheapest tickets I can get for us at Cirque du Soleil are $200 for 4). Nonetheless it was an awesome time with my kids. read more

I wanted to write a review because I didn't see any from the past few months. First of all, all of the seating is now assigned, when you buy your tickets online, you pick your seats just like you would on Ticketmaster, all the reviews I read had said that it was general admission. I also read in a previous review that people recommended they make some changes to the clown, they have, there are now two of them and they are actually pretty funny together, especially the dancing bit. Overall all the complaints I read about in older reviews seemed to have been addressed. I echo what others have said about not paying for the most expensive seats, we sat in row I and we could see everything just fine, I would recommend trying to get seats near the middle though, think 3 O'clock to 9 O'clock; beyond that you're going to be seeing the back of the performers a lot. There was also a promo code "FREE" that let us get half price tickets for our kids. Speaking of the kids, the 6 year old loved it, the 4 year old checked out about three quarters of the way through, it was a little too much sitting for her. Get the cheaper seats and have a good time! read more

It was an amazing show. My granddaughter and I loved it. Such a variety of entertainment at times laughing, enthralled, and breathtaking.

This circus was subpar to say the least. The tickets were pretty expensive so I had high expectations. It does not compare to any circus that I've ever been to before, and that unfortunately is not a compliment. I was saddened to see that they were cash only, even though they had a pos system to get "cash back" (which charges up to $5). The show was two hours of repetitiveness , I got pretty tired of seeing people swinging from things. I really enjoyed the man on the wheel, he was the best part of the show ! All in all my family and I got very bored within the first 15 minutes. I wouldn't purchase any expensive tickets because they aren't worth it. You can get the same view and experience with the cheap tickets in the back. read more

Cirque Italia is AMAZING! I'm so glad I happened by and saw their tents, AND tickets were available for the next day! Don't hesitate, this show ROCKS with breathtaking performances and good, clean fun! read more

My wife and two grandchildren were treated to the best show on earth this afternoon in Warsaw, Indiana. It's hard to imagine that there are so many low rating. My family and especially the grandkids were entertained by a group of fantastic entertainer's who have chosen to use their skills some acquired from former family who made their living in the circus world to making the circus world their choice vocation. I would strongly recommend more people see one of these shows and be prepared for some great entertainment. Everything is clean and easily accessible for everybody. The food is great and there are plenty of gifts for everyone to purchase at reasonable price. Once the program begins the action is non stop and filled with excitement and awe. It is good to see that the circus world of entertainment is being kept alive through the efforts and dedication of these young people. My family and I look forward to next year. read more

Fantastic, modern circus with talented performers...all tied together with a great production. The pace and professionalism of the performance was very good. The performers were excellent and showed fabulous stage presence. Go see this circus as it travels through your town. read more

So we purchased 8 tickets total we gave 4 as a gift. I'm embarrassed that I sent people to see this unorganized unprofessional show. Not only were you in a tent without air conditioning in Florida I swear the performers did NOT rehearse. The juggler kept dropping his pieces. It's was beyond awful. more then half the audience left at intermission. And i know it's for adults only PLEASE don't bring children it's very inappropriate and distasteful at times read more

My wife and I went to see Cirque Italia yesterday at the State Fair Park in Salt Lake City. Many of the local Latino community it appeared showed up and some were talking in Spanish to some of the employees and performers prior to the show. Depending on one's experiences with circus-like performances, one could either describe Cirque Italia as fabulous or pretty much under-par for the more elite performances of nationally and internationally known spectacular acts such as put on by Cirque de Soleil which costs at least twice as much as does a ticket to Cirque Italia. Cirque Italia appears to be fusion of America Has Talent television acts, circus performers, and a substandard Cirque de Soleil event. For me, the laser light show as the highlight of the night, even though it unfortunately wasn't the last act so by the end of the show, it became sort of anti-climatic. Even though I paid more for the first row seats, it seems like the crowd entertainer clown spent most of his time further back in the less expensive seating area entertaining them and having some of those audience come on stage. And the focus on water, well, it really seemed more of an afterthought. If you want water, Cirque de Soleil and their performance of O blasts Cirque Italia out of the water. Overall, while Cirque Italia isn't really that great, it was worth the money to go to be entertained, especially if one has never seen Cirque de Soleil. I mildly enjoyed the whole performance while the temperature in the large tent was perfect (it was a hot summer day in Utah), the men's room was much better than an outhouse and more like an extended commercial airplane commode facility, the $5 parking fee was ok, the $5 large imitation lemonade overpriced (like a real movie theatre). The whole atmosphere felt circus without the awful animal smells. The $10 souvenir photo opportunity with the fake human dinosaur might of been worth the cost in the photographer had gotten more creative and the dinosaur had gotten more into the act. My recommendation really would be to save your money and go to see a Cirque de Soleil show as a once in a lifetime experience if you can. Otherwise, Cirque Italia offers up a satisfactory substitute experience, especially if you children, at way less cost. read more

We brought our 3 and 5 year old to see cirque italia. It was a blast! The clown was engaging with the crowd and we laughed alot. The performers were talented and we were impressed with their strength and routines. We had a lovely night of entertainment!! Thank you! My only thought was.. maybe a little less gun references. Overall? we loved the show. Thanks again. read more

Entertaining for both kids and adults. I thought all the acts were good. The staff was friendly and the temperature inside the tent was comfortable. Alex the clown was hilarious, he interacted with the audience nicely. The food was not very good, so eat before. They only accept cash, so bring cash for snacks, light up toys for kids, face painting and photos. read more

Cirque d'Italia gives you an increasingly rare chance to experience a small classic circus that maintains the character of traditional European performances. We *almost* didn't go because of the bad Yelp reviews from the MD and DC area. Those reviews do raise some valid issues, but don't miss this show because it isn't perfect...see it because it is unique. The comments below only apply to the 7:30PM , Saturday, Feb 22, 2014 appearance in Palmetto, FL. RARE LOOK AT CLASSIC SHOW STYLE Traveling circuses with a variety of acts are increasingly rare. Huge corporate entities like Cirque du Soleil thrive but they are very different from this smaller show, which has a more personal type of charm that is, perhaps, even more enjoyable. INTIMATE VENUE The best thing about this show is that it's presented in a tent with only 13 rows of circular seating around the central stage. That means that the "worst" seats are no more than about 50' from the stage. We sat in the 2nd row about 7' from the stage. At huge shows (like Cirque du Soleil) most seats are *much* further from the action. DEDICATED ENTERTAINERS Each artist is clearly presenting a talent that he or she worked a lifetime to develop. The acts are mostly acrobatic, but also include juggling, choreographed gymnastics and balancing. One act, the Alvarez family, includes their teenage son and daughter, who grew up in the business. Another two person act is Anton & Adam, who have spend years refining their almost super-human display of physical strength and poise. Note that for our performance there were no animal acts in the show. Are all (or any) of these acts "the best in the world"? Maybe, but probably not. But they are all terrific and, taken as a collection, there are few places you can get this close to this much live circus-style entertainment, presented with this much commitment. CONVENIENT, WELL RUN VENUE Parking was easy. The ticket booth was efficient (5 minutes to exchange vouchers for wristbands needed to enter the tent). Seating was effortless-the Italian girl who seated us was friendly and enthusiastic. Drinks and popcorn were available throughout the show ($3) by vendors roaming the stands...what most people didn't notice is that some of the vendors were performers who sold refreshments when their set was over. That's another example of the team spirit in this show. CONCLUSION Don't miss it. Take your kids. And if you don't have kids (we don't) go yourself. The seats were reasonably comfortable and having kids there added to the fun (and we don't say that often!). CRITICISMS On the off chance that management reads these, and to refine this review for other Yelpers, let us add a few items that could use improvement. SHOWTIMES The show started 20 minutes late. The 15 minute intermission lasted 30 minutes. We got in about 7:15 and left at 10PM so it was certainly plenty of entertainment. In their defense this is a complex LIVE show with lots of moving talent and parts. Maybe the delays came from things not running perfectly, which often happens in live acts. One reviewer thought the long intermission was to sell more food...we don't think so because that was easy to get at any time. If there IS a technical delay, it would be nice for management to announce it...just like they do (all the time!) on airplanes. It would just be more polite. SOUND The music sounded great, but during the few spoken parts of the presentation it was hard to understand. It's a matter of adjusting the pitch or adding a few more speakers. There is very little spoken material in the show. COCO THE CLOWN Some other reviewers slammed Coco. Indeed, he's a different kind of clown..frizzy hair, no face paint, all visual humor often involving audience members. His first few routines struck us as a bit lame...but Coco warmed up and the last two bits he did were flat-out hysterical. Zany stuff and suitable for all ages. NAME RECOGNITION We were a bit disappointed that the performers were not presented by name. They just came on, did their bits, and all came on stage (anonymously) at the end of the show. The venue is so intimate, and the performers so unique, that it would add to the show to know their names as they appear. An announcement with some background (if the sound system is tweaked) or even a couple LED style signs so people can see their names. They are recognized on the circus website but not at the show. It would be a nice touch. THE WATER SHOW This got some criticism and it is indeed far from "spectacular." That said, the owner clearly spent a lot of money and effort adding water to the show, which added a lot more complexity in setting up, operating and moving the show. We (personally) think it would be as good *without* the water...but it does add a unique atmosphere to some acts and...there it is so you might as well enjoy it. (-: Have fun at the circus! read more

Cirque has established itself as a premiere show/attraction because of its unique twist in merging the arts with the jaw dropping acrobatic stunts. The legendary shows such as "O" and "Ra" are well renowned on the strip in Vegas and have inspired the movement of cirque shows across the nation. Outside of the strip, I have seen two cirque shows, Zarkana in NYC and Cirque Italia in MD. Taking into account the infrastructure and budget, I didn't have high expectations. After all, the venue is small, the ticket prices are cheap, and the venue was not designed specifically for the cirque show. I had many heart throbbing moments when watching this show. These were not the good kind of heart throbbing moments. One of the guys balancing on top of a string of rope in the air almost fell down 7 stories after doing a backflip. This wasn't one of those unstable landings. This was one where he completely fell off and hung onto the rope with one hand. After the second time this happened two minutes later, I was clenching my teeth hoping that the guy wouldn't fall again. Sadly, these mishaps kept reoccurring from performance to performance. Besides this, there were safety concerns. If any of these guys fell off on the wrong spots, they would have landed directly on the audience on the front row. Now, this is just a conjecture but my speculation is that the performers are aspiring trainees who move onto the main circuit depending on their performance. Otherwise, I can't believe they would have messed up so many times (some did three-peats of the same trick b/c they messed up). Irrespective of such reasons, it's probably best to avoid this place unless you want the next highlight reel to come from one of the performers falling on you. AVOID unless you REALLY want a real HEART-STOPPING moment. Yeah your heart. read more

We went to the show in Raleigh, NC today. We bought a coupon deal and my kids had tickets from another promotion. No where on their tickets did it say you could not combine them. When we got there they made me purchase full price tickets for the kids. It was like they had you because you are not going to tell your kids we should go as they are too young to understand principle. Of course the food was expensive but being such a small show it was more over priced than usual. Popcorn was over salted so that was trash and the waters were not even ice cold. The junk toys are overpriced, too. Started almost 1/2 hour late but ended on time. Super hot in there. Everyone was miserable from the heat. The clown that entertained between acts was not funny and it took too long to setup between acts. That "pool" was just a water fountain. No one actually went in the pool for anything and the shooting water was a distraction. Total waste of money to lug that thing around on the road. The actual performers are great for what the show is and I appreciated how the only animals they used were two dogs. That is the only reason I gave it 2 stars. read more

I attended this show Saturday, July 30th in Woodbridge, VA. I knew going in that this was in no way associated with Cirque du Soleil, but decided to give it a try. As I attempted to enter the venue, I knew that I had made a mistake. The staff made us stand outside because there were too many people still inside. These were the people who were still trying to buy things after the 5:30 show had ended. Clearly, no thought had gone into crowd control. The rain was coming down pretty hard; thankfully I had my umbrella and rain boots. The "fun" didn't stop here. I had a blue level ticket which entitled me to sit anywhere after the first 3 rows and before the last 2. I go to sit and there are 2 guys holding sits for about 20 people. Yes it was general seating and yes I understand holding seats for people. That many though!? I spoke to one of the ushers who spoke with the guys but didn't actually tell them that they couldn't hold that many seats. That was strike 2. The show was supposed to start at 8:30, they didn't get started until closer to 9. So I am already thoroughly irritated and considering just leaving. The ticket was $30; the fees brought it to $40. Since it was "take myself on a date" night, I decided to hang in there. The clown does his thing and then the first act: jugglers. Their act left a lot to be desired. They dropped balls, pins, etc many times. It seemed to me that they were more focused on trying to get the audience to applaud them then they were on getting their tricks right the first time. The awkward pauses to wait for applause were extremely annoying. Ironically, if they had gotten their tricks right, they would have gotten the applause they so desperately craved. Strike 3. The aerial ribbon ladies were great. One came out dressed as a mermaid; she happened to be the same woman who had been marking tickets before the show started. (I had wondered why she was wearing the blue-green makeup.) The show of acrobatics while hanging from two ribbons was great. No where near what you would see at a cirque du soleil show, but miles ahead of the what the average person could do. Those two performances were the only bright spots in my time there and the reason for the 2nd star. Now comes intermission. The mermaid rolls out seated on a conch shell. People can talk to her and take pictures. This went on for way too long and it was clear that there was no set cut off time. They were just going to collect $10 from as many people as they could. That was strike 4 and I left. The popcorn, soda, cotton candy salesman walking all over the place was ridiculous. As disorganized as everything else was, there was no shortage of people to buy snacks from. Miss one, 15 seconds later another arrives. $10 for popcorn is insane. Bottom line, don't waste your money. read more

Went to the 2:30 show in Springfield, IL on May 3 and I DO NOT recommend it. Heat was terrible with no real air flow, bad music blaring, seats were cramped. Constant barrage of hawkers selling 2 dollar bottles of water, 5 dollar snow cones and 12 dollar flashing toys. The intermission lasted longer than either of the halves as they try to make more money for the overpriced show by selling pictures with the mermaid and Malificent (does Disney know they are using their characters?) The "special water stage" is nothing but a few fountains around a small stage and made no real effect in any of the performances other than ambiance. As for the acts, the laser man was OK, but everything else was no better than acts that DIDN'T make it through on America's Got Talent. read more

We found Cirque Italia through a discount website, and attended the Takoma Park, Md. show. We had a group of 14, mostly kids. First and foremost, I want to say the performers were wonderful! The smallness of the venue and lack of safety nets made your pulse race a bit and I found myself in a nervous sweat quite a few times during the performance ! Bravo to them ! Overall the kids really enjoyed the show and ultimately that's who it's geared towards and what mattered. The rest of this critique is towards the owner Manuel Rebecchi: Logistics Logistics Logistics. When the previous show let out, the waiting line (full of children) to go into the next performance was virtually accosted by the leaving traffic - that was an issue. I think the venue can hold approx. 1200 people, and there were only 8 porta-johns available for the entire audience. When a child tells you they'd like to wait until they get home to "go" that's a sign. Needless to say the lack of sanitation available to patrons was a misery. I repeat, Disgusting Misery, especially for women ! The 35,000 gallon water tank was almost entirely underwhelming, it was an over glorified water fountain. The show started 30 minutes late but finished on time which lead us to believe they cut out some acts. Lastly the owner came out at the end for a final word. He said his show was a work in progress and then promptly "blamed" the American audience for their lateness, and thanked us for our patronage. Talk about a backhanded compliment. Get your stuff together Manuel Rebecchi ! read more

What a disaster. Expect to be packed into a non-climate controlled tent, sat in a broken seat reminiscent of an elementary school chair and be kicked in the back repetitively while vendors and children with light up toys run rampant. But don't fret - once the show starts you'll be graced with a "clown" that will blow a whistle prompting kids to shriek at the top of their lungs for 15 minutes straight. If your head doesn't hurt at this point, it will after watching a juggler fall off of a stool (unintentionally) and lay on his back with staff surrounding him while he figures out if he is well enough to continue. The "entertainment" in between performers lasts entirely too long not to mention the intermission in which you can pay to have a picture with the Straps performer. They will extend this intermission as long as they are making money which is at least 45 minutes. I decided to stay after intermission for one reason only - I had yet to see any aerial silks. Well folks, don't hold your breath. There isn't a single aerial silks act which in my opinion is vital to any "cirque" type experience. In all fairness - the contortionist, male strength duo, and Lyra girls are solid talent but surrounded by an outright terrible show experience. Save yourself the headache...literally..and wait for a real cirque experience. read more

this is a massive waste of money and time. a few talented performers! extremely hot steamy and uncomfortable in the tent! my ubderstanding is they were promoting cdc guidelines and following their recommendations. it's a lie!!!. average mask wearing was at best 20%! costumes were tired and all props to support acts were as tired and worn. i wore a full mask along with the 4 others that attended the show with me... my suggestion: dont waste your time. read more

Not a fan of the scaled-up pricing for front,center,back - the theater is So small, there's no need for you to pay more to be closer. From furthest to closest is maybe 40 feet at the most, so don't waste your money. (although being here in the first place might be doing that anyway, read on). Jugglers were very good, some acts like the strength acts were impressive. Mermaid act was a big yawner - yes she dangled using only her legs.. saw that dozens of times clubbing in NYC in the late 90's. The biggest shame is that it's branded as an "aquatic spectacular". Really? The water is Never Used. Not Once. Other than sprinklers being on to partially obstruct a view, a performer is never once immersed in water. The last act was the ringmaster's son doing impressive handstands on the top of a coat rack with gradually more impressive back-bends. Uncompelling and certainly not a finale. Wondered when the advertised "35,000 gallon tank" would be used (it wasn't) Clown came out with a tiny "The End" banner - seemed like with the last act and the production values, it was a joke. Turned out - Joke was on us. That was it! Was promised 2 hour show. Show was 1.5 hours with a forced feeling 15 minute "intermission" to go buy $5 hot dogs and $5 cotton candy (you'll feel you're being nakedly sold to). Parents in town, was looking for a non-museum distraction - other than that, it's not worth the money. The only thing it shares with Cirque de Soleil - is the first part of the name. Despite the 1/2 the price tag, production values are 1/10th that of Soleil. Also, the parking was a cluster@#$ as the shows were stacked on top of eachother. Took us over 30 minutes to get out; didn't bother to hire a cop or even an extra hand - to direct traffic into the one left turner onto Caroll Ave blocks everybody behind them. Very disappointed and would never recommend. Poorly managed from soup to nuts. read more

We went to the show at Takoma Park, Maryland and purchased our tickets through Groupon. Groupon had a very misleading promo video that had much more of a Cirque du Soleil feel than it actually had and where water played a much bigger role in the show. The whole thing was so unorganized, there seemed to be only one competent (though yelling about firing people) woman trying get people inside . The lines were so poorly managed that people were only just getting into the hot and humid tent when the show was supposed to start, so it was over a half and hour late. While some of the performers were talented, the time in between sets was too long and the speakers deafeningly loud for a small space. Popcorn was stale and the snow cones were flavorless. I can't say anything about the 2nd half of the show because we bailed at intermission. Maybe worth going to if you have younger children, but only if your kids won't drive you crazy with the excessive wait to get in, won't whine about the heat, and don't have sensitive ears. read more

The performance was good I honestly enjoyed it but I do have a couple complaints. The stage has 4 towers that obscure the view for a lot of acts. Unless you are right in front of the stage you will be blocked by those towers at some point. I ended up moving seats twice because my seat was right behind a tower and there were many empty seats throughout the circus. The food was wayyy over priced which was expected but then the quality of the snacks were disgusting. Do not get the funnel cakes they taste horrible I didn't even get half way. Other than that the performances were good and the lasers that they have for the tent were awesome. I would Reccomend but definitely do not but the $50 seats I paid for the level 3 seats which were $25 and then moved about to empty seats. read more

Terrible management. Please do yourself a favor and do NOT confuse this event with Cirque Du Soleil. That is in a league of its own. THIS on the other hand- not so much. The marketing team mentions a high quality and elegant show however, that's a little exaggerated. Tho performers are talented and this place should be fortunate to have them. I hope marketing gets their act together (pun intended). read more

I bought my tickets for this show online through my phone. I got a set of 8 tickets for a little over $100. I got the cheaper tickets and used a PROMO code. Getting front row seats isn't really worth it to me since you can see everything from the back row. This was a 2 hour show by the silver unit under a pirate theme. The performances were pretty great! There was a lot of variety and the transitions between each act were a lot of fun too. I really liked the interaction with the crowd for of the clown/comedy performances. The prices for concessions are pretty high, but its' the the same as stadium events. If they come back to town, I would definitely go and see them again. I had a great time with my family going to this show. read more

Since Cirque du Soleil has been around for a very long time, I figured if their shows are top notch so would Cirque Italia. I was wrong, they were average and I was bored after the intermission. They really should do away with that intermission. This review is really for the producers of the show and not the artist (they were amazing), the creators of the show has to come up with way better ideas. So in a nutshell, they were a grade C. You gotta remember that adults are also in the audience and not only kids. The music was sloppy. They over used the same songs, over and over. Change it up. It would've been nice to hear different Italian music between the acts. The show is mostly for for the kids, cause it didn't keep my interest. Please don't call this an Aquatic show if the artist are not getting wet. I was very disappointed with this aspect of the show. They also need a better cooling system then what they had. read more

We saw the show in Melbourne on Jan 6th. I was pleasantly surprised at the athletic ability of the performers. They are top notch! It's not Cirque du Soliel. But neither are the prices. It's small and intimate. The audience was quite appreciative, too. The only negative I have to say is it was hot in the tent and the generator plant was very loud. Also, buy seats near the back. We were in the 3rd row and had to look up a lot. read more

Saw the Water Circus 1 Silver show in Austin, TX last night and was really glad I checked out this troupe! The performers were all very skilled and this was a high quality show. A couple of performers didn't hit all their marks but their recoveries were smooth and lighthearted and only one didn't nail their second try. The atmosphere they created was super positive and supportive of these moments of human imperfection, and I thought that actually made for a more emotionally engaging and exciting show. The clown was excellent at interacting with the audience and setting the friendly tone. I appreciated the lack of animals and enjoyed the dinosaur-taming bit as an homage. It's was an intimate venue - no bad seats in terms of distance from the stage, but the performances were oriented to the front so being in the four front-most sections would be best. We were able to choose our seats in advance through the online ticketing site. Note that the seats were smallish and pretty close together. The funnel cake was surprisingly non-greasy and delicious, but the nachos were the usual horrid movie theater affair. Parking was free and food prices seemed reasonable. This show lacks the extreme gloss, surreality and perfection of Cirque du Soleil's traveling shows, but I rather liked it for that and found it to be more fun, and it's worth noting that these tickets were less than half the cost. I was happy to support these artists, and I'll see them again when they come back with another show! read more

Great show, some of the best acts we have ever seen!!!! Great entertainment. 2 hours of great acts.

I continue to be amazed at the comparisons of Cirque Italia to Cirque du Soleil. They are not one in the same, nor affiliated. It's comparing apples to oranges. We went to Cirque Italia tonight and it was a fun night. It was probably the best $ 20.00 I've paid for entertainment and our Granddaughter loved it. The tent lends itself to an intimate atmosphere and crowd interaction was great. It's a small traveling troupe and many of the performers perform in more than one act. It was a small, fun circus and more than worth the $ 20.00 ticket price. read more

we had the grand kids here from Toronto and took them to the show, when the "music" started it blow our heads off, I am a senior and hard of hearing, even with my hearing aid out it was hurting, this sound level will damage kids ears, never again Gerhard Cohn, Fort Myers read more

I LOVED this show and recommend seeing it. The performers have phenomenal amounts of strength, grace, balance, and coordination. I saw the show at the Merrillville, IN location. It was very easy to get tickets and people selling the tickets were very informative and friendly. I believe everyone involved did a wonderful job. The show was very smooth. The only thing I can complain about is how loud some of the tracks are. And that's in place of my grandma. I loved it that loud, but it did give her a bit of a headache. I saw the show twice and was completely captivated the whole time. One last thing, if you have questions about the show, don't be afraid to ask their Facebook page! As I said before, everyone involved is very friendly and helpful! read more

My 2 boys age 5 and 7 loved it! Good price for a family outing and enjoyed the more personal feel compared to circus Soleil shows in Vegas. Definitely not as refined as the performers in Vegas shows nor is the stage worth a million bucks but you're also not paying 300 a ticket! I would recommend for a family night! read more
