Skip Wintuk. See the Radio City Christmas Spectacular instead. Review by: happyGAgram, Dec 18, 2007 |
| Awful. We were so disappointed. Love Cirque Du Soleil, but this show mars the name! Felt totally ripped off. The performers made mistake, after mistake. One couldn't even jump rope. Waste of time and money--the tickets were very expensive. |

Review by: lucy, Dec 17, 2007 |
| A big let down. My friend had seen several cirque du soleil performances in Florida and raved about it. We bought tickets weeks in advance. It was appalling with long, drawn out, pointless acts that went nowhere. All five of us felt it was a waste of our time and money and felt ripped off. It seemed like an amateur performance and the venue at madison square gardens was absolutely inappropriate. Terrible!!! |

Wintuk....What Happened???? Review by: Doug, Dec 9, 2007 |
| I'm sick and embarresed over wintuk...I was ripped-off by a "legal" ticket skalper... 3x's the price.I paid to get good seats...I took my grand-son to his first show and my brother and his wife also went for the first time. All because I told them about and showed them the videos of Alegria, Quidam, Drallion,etc., etc. I can't beleive cirque did this...This is no where near a cirque show.. absolutely amatuerish. Very Very Boring...Weak plot and ... read more Weak Talent. Where were the circus acts? (the real Talent)...I've been and member for many years and I promise I will never buy another ticket or suggest to anyone to see another show without reading the reviews from now on...I'm so obviously disappointed....njsignal from New Jersey |

Disappointed too Review by: Bel, Dec 5, 2007 |
| This should not even have Cirque du Soleil's name to it. I paid way too much for tickets and ended up in the very back of the theatre which, I promise, must have been 95 degrees. Also, you could have touched the ceiling which could have been one reason it was so hot and stuffy. I cannot tell if it was the hot room or the slow first act, but my husband and I fell asleep twice, and that alone should tell you how bad it was. |

Awful Review by: BOB, Dec 5, 2007 |
| Just got back from seeing part of this. We were so disappointed that we, and a number of others, left at intermission. A complete waste of time and money...I drove 600 miles to see it and missed a Christmas Party. I'll spread the word and know better next time. |

Cirque De O.K.............not great. Review by: DaveC., Dec 5, 2007 |
| This was a bit of a dissapointment for the price- ($110 ea).......I have seen a few other "Cirques" and this was a lot less then the other flooring/memorable shows I've seen. I don't know if its being the stage was not full time dedicated to the show being seasonal, or that its just being a storyline type Cirque. There are lots of impressive stunts, and city related bike, inline skate, and skateboarding moves which impress, but I can see ... read more that from younger friends in the neighborhood streets free. I'd say the 1st half was just ok, the second half had much more of the large stage puppets and talented acrobatics you assume come with the show. My g/f actually heard women complain in the restroom at the intermission that its not a "real Cirque show"..........so. Its was good, the 2nd half very good, but I did not leave thinking Id tell others to run out and blow hundreds to see it. |

SHOW FOR KIDS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. Review by: MALU, Dec 3, 2007 |
| I went to see Wintuk on a friday nite November 30th. I went with 2 friends. I was very sad and angry when I left because it is not even for kids unless they are under 5. Most of the audience 80% were adults with no kids. They also seemed very dissapointed, the other 20% with kids were bored. Do not go, Take your kids to see something else. |

A major loss for the Cirque Du Soleil BRAND Review by: Ex Cirque fan, Dec 2, 2007 |
This show was very regular. And if the growth of Cirque du Soleil means more shows and less quality than this will eventually change the brand image of what they worked so hard for. The show was a major dissapointment. And if teh show was meant for kids, my 13 and 10 year old didn't quite get the story that they spend so much time on (More time than the acts themselves). Still some incredible performances but not enough "wows" except for the ... read more very end when you can't believe the show is over and you haven't even been energized yet - WOW, that's it!
And to the customer service comment: that infuriates me: if the theather venue ceilings limited your performance why did you pick that venue. It's your act find a place where you can do it teh right way and represent what your "brand" used to stand for "Excellence" Amazement" etc...(PS. i never wrote a review before but needed to vent for therapy purposes:)) |

Wintuk- Enjoyed by all. Review by: Happywoman93, Dec 2, 2007 |
| Wintuk was an excellent production, able to be enjoyed by the family. While the Cirque du Soleil productions are usually sensuous, this is a funny, entertaining production that my 13 year old pronounced as "Awesome". |

Wintuk is much better than the rest of these reviews make it seem Review by: i saw wintuk, Nov 30, 2007 |
| First off, let me say that I have never seen a Cirque du Soleil show before. I, personally, was mesmerized. I went with my French Class and found my mouth gapping open the entire show. Sure, this show is more child friendly, but adults, it's a momentary chance for you to find your inner child. I know that at the age of 17, I loved it. The acrobatics were astonishing. I keep telling my friends to go see it! I don't know why everyone else has been ... read more so harsh on it. GO SEE IT! |

Review by: skuba, Nov 27, 2007 |
This show might work for kids. I went with my Mom and she loves Cirque, she has been very pleased with other Cirque's shows, but with this one she was very disappointed.
I thought it was pretty boring. The talking light pole and dogs were annoying.
Some of the artists were good, but overall an overpriced show. |
