Review by: Nick, Jan 14, 2011 |
| It's amazing how everyone perceives these cirque shows differently. I though "O" was one of my least favorite cirque shows. Not enough difficult and defying acrobatics for me. The look, scenery, costumes, etc.. where breathtaking, but something was missing I guess. I didn't find the clowns very funny either. I've seen all the cirque shows in vegas except criss angel's (which according to the reviews is a good thing) My favorites are ... read more Zumanity, Ka, and Love. O just was missing something that makes u wide eyed for me. |

Prepare to smile--it's superb in all aspects, iIf not incredible at times. Review by: The Barking Dog, Dec 10, 2009 |
This is not vaudeville. This isn't classic Broadway. The clowns aren't ha-ha funny. The acting is not to be taken too literally. It's a beautifully designed, scored, and executed show. The music is charming and coordinates in an
eerily precise way with the visual spectacle. Yes, you'll see a lot of dives. From more than 40 feet. With tumbling. With no splash. Coordinated with music and other actors. Goodness gracious! The stories are ... read more touching, humorous, and memorable. Both my wife and I (both about 60) along with my 23 y/o nephew had that tingling feeling during the show that you get when you are seeing something special. We've seen it twice and loved it even more the second time. "O" will of course not be to everyone's taste, but if this abstract kind of show is your thing, spend the money on good seats and smile from ear to ear even hours after it ends. Note: I don't think children under 5 will appreciate it enough for the cost--it's not long, but things are happening all over and it's subtle. |

Overhyped Review by: WR, Sep 12, 2009 |
| This was supposed to be the highlight of our Vegas trip- what a dissapointment! My wife and I have seen a number of Cirque shows, and this was one of the most boring. Just a bunch of people diving into water over and over. My wife actually fell asleep and I could barely keep my eyes open. Even the clowns weren't funny. The acrobatics at other cirque shows are much more intense. "O" is WAY overhyped. Go see LOVE if in Vegas or KOOZA if it comes ... read more to your town. |

Incredible Review by: , Dec 10, 2007 |
| O is an amazing site... I was mesmerized by the syncronized swimmers and the trapeze work that the performers did. These actors are so talented and coordinated to know the exact timing of when a 6-10 ft pool will become a flat dry stage! The pool shapes off in different places throughout the performance and the different acts take place in the air and the water. It truely was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and my father and brother ... read more said the same! I would recomend this to anyone and the only advice is pay a little more to get closer seats! |

"O" SINKS FAST and TAKES YOUR MONEY. Review by: RALPHIE, Sep 16, 2007 |
"O" amounts to a great big nothing by Cirque de Soleil -- which is spreading its tentacles all over Las Vegas with shows ranging from excellent to downright stupid.
"O" is entirely focused on a giant swimming pool, and if you hanker to see a bunch of clowns and other performers hanging out at the pool, this is for you... but I expect a lot more for a $150 show.
Do yourself a favor and see the original Cirque de Soleil MYSTERE which ... read more is 4 times better and 40% cheaper. It's been playing in Vegas for over 10 years, and that might tell you something about its quality. |

Would See "O" by Cirque du Soleil Again and Again! Review by: chinagirl19us, Jun 27, 2007 |
| I was lucky to get last two tickets while on standby. I got to sit on side bottom of orchestra and got to see every part of the show close up including all performers. Truly EXTRAODINARY show. You have performers that included acrobats and beautifully coordinated performers who swim in the pool while others perform above the pool area. The scenery is GREAT.It is MY FAVORITE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL SHOW. I would see it a MILLION times over and ... read more over again without a doubt. |
