    Cirque du soleil scores again!!

    by Eska on 2010-06-29Beacon Theatre - New York

    Amazing what they could do on a smaller stage. Every aspect of the show was as usual very carefully planned with great results. Would go see it again! Have seen many Cirque du soleil shows and they still manage to surprise and delight us, Bravo!

    Banana Shpeel a waste of money

    by Cirquefan on 2010-06-11Beacon Theatre - New York

    I have seen 8 other Cirque shows in 3 different cities. Banana Shpeel was a huge disappointment! It was NOT funny for any age, there was Very minimal cirque acts and 2 of the 4 were juggling. Was the most expensive of 5 shows i have been to in NYC and the worst by far. Save your money and see something else.

    bannanas

    by pm8344 on 2010-06-04Beacon Theatre - New York

    would say that show was not the best of Cirque thats for sure all the acts were great but the overall experience was average mainly due to its concept which does not work and to have half empty theatre even on a friday night at memorial weekend was not good another bad point is location yes its in a fab theathre but it is not broadway!!! needs to be in the theatre district to get the people and then have the buzz haveing seen many shows from cirque this would rate as the worse

    Banana Shpeel Disappointing

    by Rumrunner on 2010-05-02Beacon Theatre - New York

    We were there for the first preview showing and were overall disappointed with the performance. It is far from the caliber of the other Cirque shows we have seen.

    A different Cirque

    by AndreVancouver on 2009-12-15The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    I'm a hardcore fan of Cirque du Soleil and have watched almost all of their shows, frequently travelling to where they are performing. Banana Shpeel has the expected high standards, but it is more of a slapstick show - don't mention it's from Cirque du Soleil and no one would know it. The more acrobatic routines have been seen in previous shows as well but are perfected in this one. Having said that, I would still recommend Banana Spheel but if you have seen Cirque before don't expect anything similar.

    Banana Spheel lived up to expectations

    by virtual on 2009-12-06The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Highly entertaining show with all the elements you would expect from a Cirque du Soleil production. Colorful costumes, quirky characters and talent galore. Do not go expecting the usual Cirque, that it is not! Their New Twist on Vaudeville works well and it would be nice to see them continue to develop this genre.

    Needed more acrobats

    by Lbomb on 2009-12-06The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Lets start with the Acrobats. As always, CDS has amazing talent. Simple incredible what they can do. The dancers were extremely good too!. The rest of the show had good performers and some funny moments but its not ready for NY imo.

    Terrible show by any standard

    by reviewer852 on 2009-11-30The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Terrible show by any standard, let alone Cirque Du Soleil. Nothing special, seemed like a show by few cheap amateurs. Nothing presented during the entire show was awe inspiring except the gymnast's performance. Do not waste your money on this. Cirque should seriously consider removing this kind of show from their repertoire.
