First, don't see it. But if you go against my wishes- the ticket says 9:30, can you please get there at 9:15 yelpers? The show began promptly. .... but they continued to seat the theatre for almost 15 minutes once the opening act began.... and I don't know if they realize this, but people need to SEE what's happening on stage and when people are all over with flashlights fumbling around to find their seats it was terribly frustrating. Every other show I've been to have made guest wait for a designated re -seat for late comers. My first tip off that this show was going to be poor quality.
This review is brought to you by the word: CHEESE. the worst. Most disturbing part of this show was chris himself and his smug demeanor. At one point he had a guest on stage, their microphone malfunctioned and he had a miniature fit. Looking up at his sound box making comments like "Can we get this ON?! why would you even turn it off?!". In multiple points in the show he would stop and talk about how successful he was, how many views he's had on YouTube, how many countries his show airs in..... awesome chris, can we see an illusion now?
He would go as far to say "that sucked" if we didn't cheer loud enough. And was rude to guests in the interactive segments. Perhaps that's part of his act.... but I found it to be very strange.
There were a few parts where we would just be watching long clips from all of his past shows. Again... thanks, can we see an ILLUSION?
Lastly, how in any way shape or form is this a CIRQUE de soleil show?
