Absolutely unforgettable! Cirque du Soleil was an incredible experience from start to finish. The performers were unbelievably talented, the acrobatics were breathtaking, and the combination of music, costumes, comedy and stunning visuals made the whole show magical. There were moments that left us completely amazed, as well as plenty of laughs along the way. A beautifully produced show that we thoroughly enjoyed and would happily see again. Highly recommended!

This performance was spectacular. Suitable for all age groups, access to the venue & parking well organised, all of the food outlets well catered & staff were lovely . The costumes were colourful & appropriate, the clowns interacted with the crowd & were funny & all of the performers were unbelievable. Our favourite were the 3 female contortionist s, just unbelievable. A fabulous night out & experience. Would highly recommend. Thank you Cirque de Soleil.

Absolutely sensational experience from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. Great atmosphere under the Big Top. Talented Artists, heart stopping acrobatics, breathtaking costumes, staging and choreography. The comedians were actually Funny - all through mime ... we can not rate this show more highly. Our only warning is if you are allergic to popcorn do not buy tickets close to the stage... popcorn flies everywhere!

4th row back so therefore easy to see the performers expressions of concentration and effort. Felt in the thick of it with the performers interacting with the audience. Almost a full house so great energy from the crowd. Hard to pick a favourite act as they were all so amazing. Loved the energy and comedy from the clowns. 5th show we've seen over the past 30 years. None have disappointed.

We may have been in the top back row next to the stairs, but these seats were the best in the "big top". The whole show was mind blowingly fantastic. Well done Cirque du Soleil. We have no photos as this was strictly prohibited. Just fabulous memories. Thank you.

CdS was sensational! The level of professionalism is at the highest level, and the performers are incredibly inspiring. It is amazing what they have been able to achieve, which is a tribute to their training and preparation over many years. So much of the show was on the edge, which makes for thrilling watching. The grandkids were rivetted, cheering, clapping, gasping and laughing throughout. Please CdS come back to Brisbane!

Great show, the performers are masters of their craft. The storyline had all the emotions, from laughing at the clowns to gripping ur seat wit the death defying routines. All this paired wit the live music was really impressive. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos I was to involved in watching an didn't want to take my eyes off the show. So thanks to all the performers, an those involved in creating an unbelievable event.
