La Nouba was absolutely brilliant. Dynamic and subtle at the same time, with beautiful metaphors and stories woven into the eye-popping acrobatics. The stagecraft challenged the mind and kept the eye, mind and heart thoroughly engaged from first moment to last. The characters were charming, and La Titan stood out as both powerful and sympathetic. This was definitely the highlight of our Orlando vacation, and a fine way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

This was our first (and last) cirque show, and neither my wife nor I could see what all the fuss is about. The acrobatics is NOT spectacular. Virtually every acrobatic feat was one we had seen in another venue previously, often in a more acrobatically impressive performance, even at the mundane (but much cheaper) Ringling Brothers Circus. Yes, the Chinese girls are impressive, but we've seen a very similar act before, and they dropped their spools twice during this performance. The trapeze and tightrope walking acts were much less impressive than at Ringling Brothers Circus last year, and they missed on their big final triple (or maybe quadruple) flip from one trapeze into the hands of someone hanging from the other trapeze. The clown acts were inane filler that just extended the length of a rather boring show. Yes, the choreography, colors, music, costumes, etc. are impressive, but that's not what I go to a circus for. Go see the Chinese acrobats at Epcot if you want to see real acrobatics.

Fantastic! Amazing! Magical! These are the words of everyone I know who have seen this show and I 100% agree with them. It might seem to be a bit pricey to some people but you would be a fool not to go and see this. This show even made me book the Saltimbanco show back in the UK. Wasn't as good as La Nouba but was still really good. Coming back to Orlando at the end of March to get married and we're all going to watch this show again.

My father was a clown/trapeze artist in the circus many years ago. He would agree that this is the most awesome performance we've ever seen!

Cirque Du Soleil was amazing. The music was so beautiful, the performers were incredible, the lights, stunts, costumes and everything else about the show was marvelous! I would definitely recommend going to this show. Small children may become bored, because you have to sit down for a long period of time to enjoy the show, and small children are usually kind of squirmy. For older children, teens, and adults, this show is sure to leave you amazed.
