Not a real cirque Review by: Masino, Jan 28, 2008 |
| Cirque goers beware. This is not like the others. This and some zoo one that I saw in Washington. Horrible horrible...boring. Not the circus Cirque de Soleil I've seen before. I decided if it's not under a big top, I'm not going. |

Do not pay Cirque prices, this is NOT a Cirque production. Review by: Rokketpop, Jan 12, 2008 |
Agreed! This was a complete let down. We bought tickets 7 months in advance, expecting the "new" Cirque show to be the usual amazing/fantastic production... well it wasn't. This show is very nice for the kiddies, but not for Cirque followers. HUGE misrepresentation.
I think perhaps they realized what a flop this was, for the first time ever I was sent a survey and the questions were very specific, trying to gauge if this show was "unlike" ... read more other Cirque shows... the gig is up. |

Waste!! Review by: NYCA, Jan 7, 2008 |
| Horrible. So boring. Should be clearly marked as strictly for kids under 10. At $100 a ticket this was a huge waste of money and time. Lead character is awful. Acts are dull and too drawn out. |

No acrobatics? No tumbling? Only ONE body contortionist? OY! Review by: , Jan 5, 2008 |
Saw Wintuk this afternoon with my daughters, 5 and 9. On the way to Madison Square Garden, I told them that they were about to see the most amazing stunts: tumbling, acrobatics, incredible body movement/contortionists...all that I had seen during the two Cirques I had seen prior.
What did we see? The first half was simply boring. The opening scene was disorganized, long and unimpressive. The second half had only a tiny portion of what I had ... read more expected to see at a Cirque.
Don't see, wait for the next Cirque to come out... |

Complete waste of time and money - don't go! Review by: Mark from London, Dec 31, 2007 |
| Acting was very poor. Really annoying lines that did not help develop the story. If they stripped away these boring bits then then actual performers might only be on stage for 15 minutes though. It was really complete rubbish. They said it is focused on kids, but mine were so bored they fell asleep and did not want to move from their chairs at the end. What a complete waste of time and money. |

Trying not to be too disappointed Review by: Just Telling the Truth, Dec 28, 2007 |
No acrobatics, weak, confusing story line and, frankly, a very annoying lead makes for a show sub par of traditional Cirque Du Soliel.
If it were not advertised as a Cirque show I think I would have liked it. But without the exceptional stunts and high flying acrobats which is associated with Cirque, I was barely even able to appreciate the small stunts they did have.

absolute worst amateurish production Review by: LadyLooo, Dec 27, 2007 |
| The absolute worst amateurish production I have ever seen! I expected so much more from Cirque Du Soliel. What a major embarrassment! This is far from what I had expected... I have never in all my life walked out of a Broadway show and not even a movie! I always give things the benefit of the doubt. But this was a disaster and not worth a glimpse! This is posiibly worth a 2 year old's birthday party AT BEST! We walked out of the show (HAPPILY!!... read more!!) after the intermission was called. .... And I want my money back! |

Wintuk Spectacular Review by: Fantastic Christmas Gift, Dec 26, 2007 |
| What a wonderful show. We've seen other Cirque du Soleil shows but Wintuk was spectacular. Unlike the show in Orlando this show is built to tour in places that they don't have purpose built theaters so the show can travel on the road and reach more cities easily.The show was special and we left with snow in our pockets. Too bad some people feel they deserved a better show they really cheated themselves out of a great night. |

DON'T SEE IT. Review by: , Dec 26, 2007 |
| Frankly, I'm surprised that they allowed such a show to appear in madison square garden. The acts were immature,long, confusing, and even scary. It was inappropriate for audiences of all ages. Adults were bored, and children were scared out of their minds (especially the "battle" of the boulders scene). DON'T SEE IT. |

WASTE OF TIME, MONEY, LIFE Review by: RogerRabbit, Dec 24, 2007 |
This was not a typical Cirque show that includes all types of stunts and acrobatics. It was more of a drawn out nightmare. We thought it was at the Madison Sq. Garden, where the Knicks play, but it was in an a much smaller theater instead. Very misleading.
As far as the show...very boring. It was annoying and boring (I may have said that already). The dogs were fun at first but the novelty quickly wore off and I wished for Michael Vick ... read more and his posse to show up and put a stop to it all.
This show shouldn't be allowed to use Cirque du Soliel's name because it's very misleading. |

Terrible Disappointment Review by: NewYorker, Dec 23, 2007 |
I have been a fan of Cirque Du Soleil for over a decade and never missed a show. WELL, I wish I had missed Wintuk. What a disappointing, slow and boring performance. Unexciting and way to long acts catered to 5year olds. This was a Birthday gift to my boyfriend that I was left feeling ashamed of giving.
ANYONE still holding the tickets try to get your money back!!! |

Review by: dave, Dec 22, 2007 |
| i saw wintuk today and i left angry. i cannot belive that cirque du soleil would even put its name on it. i know it is aimed for the entire family but the kids in the audience seemed more interested in the souvenir wintuk cups than in the show itself. It is no coincidence that all the reviews of it are so poor. do not waste you money. |
