  • Having seen five previous Cirque shows, I already knew of the high production standards that normally came with these performances. My wife has seen more than I, so I was excited to buy her tickets for Toruk when it came to our area. Sadly, it was one of the biggest disappointments I've ever paid $200 to experience. First and foremost, Toruk should never have been labeled as a Cirque du Soleil production. It lacks most of the core elements for which Cirque has come to be known. Traditionally, Cirque shows highlight dazzling acrobatics and pushing the envelope of human ability. This, paired with fantastic costuming, elaborate staging, and wonderful musical score, all combine into what we normally expect from CDS. Toruk had the costuming and staging (hence the two stars), and nothing else. Story has never really been at the forefront of a Cirque show. Let's be real, it's a glorified circus, and nobody goes to the circus for any sort of enthralling tale. We want to be wowed and left breathless. Toruk didn't have a single one of these moments, not to mention the story was straightforward and predictable. I was flat-out bored from start to finish. I'm not sure if it was because of the venue, but the sound engineering was awful. Music faded in and out, the narrator was barely audible, and the pre-show announcements about downloading the app (Don't do it!) dominated the arena. Again, not sure if they didn't know how the system worked at the Forum, but they were way off that night. The worst part about this entire debacle was that I bought these tickets for my wife's Christmas present. Walking out of the show, I felt so very guilty that I had given her such a horrible gift. Never thought to check the reviews beforehand, as I've never been disappointed (nor falling asleep) at a Cirque production. Lesson learned!
