Loft Tickets

I missed this show when it came to the NAC in Ottawa but I would not have missed it this time as the comments were more then excellent. I liked the mixture of circus, gymnastics, choregraphy and music. It is well synchronized and very intimistic : a must!

Never a dull moment, from the audience entrance via the stage (through the fridge door), the play, the comedy, acrobatics, circus acts, even the 'live' disk jockey. A caveat on a few numbers in the dark (even if that was the intention, I wanted to see more than the fuzzy flashlights). Although not the fault of the performers, the venue is not one of my favourites. Having to go through the imposed detour through the casino is nonsense. It was sad to see all those lonely people sitting by the slot machines wasting their hard earned money. Some starring at the machines without another quarter to put in. That's what I remember the most about that evening unfortunately...

I loved the freewheeling aspects of this show. It was pure entertainment from the first moment -- actually even before the first moment when the audience was still being seated! Fantastic acrobatic performances blended brilliantly with humour and a touch of the risque. And what was very enjoyable was the way the cast freely moved from English to French, back and forth constantly. Terrific example of what Canada can produce!

I went there with great expectation since this show was broadcast so much. Although , I appreciate the efforts of the artists, I was overall disapointed. I enjoyed the last five or ten minutes of the show but there were, during the performances too much slow times. Again, good efforts.

If you have never seen a live performance of Cirque de Soilel, than you will be impressed and in awe of this show. If you have seen Cirque save your money. Parents be aware you have to walk through the Casino to get to the theater, so no one under 18 years can go to this or any show at Lac Lemay.
