Went to Echo over the weekend and it was fantastic! The performers are all so talented, and we enjoyed each and every act. We sat in section 201 and our seats were great. I was worried about not getting closer seats, but they weren't needed. The venue was clean -- grounds, bathrooms, seating area. Parking ($25) was close by and an easy walk. read more

Overall really amazing production! The show is about 2 hours with a 25 minute intermission. Was seated in the 200 section but the view was still really good. The cast performed very efficiently and awed the crowd many times. Location is in the Marymoor Park. Parking was easy. I arrived early so the lights were not turned on so it was hard to tell if I was at the right place, but glad to see the lights were on upon leaving. Would definitely watch again! read more

Cirque is back in Redmond, I have seen a lot of Cirque shows from Vegas to playa de Carmen, and past Redmond shows. Echo is interesting, music is the the star of the show in IMO, the story was a little confusing if you don't know what to look for but I went through the VIP experience an it was explained to me during the pre walk through. The acrobatics are well timed with the live music and the musicians are on the stage the whole time singing and playing, the acrobats landed everything in time. Overall I enjoyed the show and it was a fun time. read more

I saw Echo in Redmond, Washington last night. It was absolutely wonderful. I've never been to a performance I didn't enjoy. Last night was the first time I did the VIP Experience. It was so worth it. From the moment our experience began, the customer service was impeccable. The staff was so very friendly, welcoming, funny and cared that your experience was beyond what you might expect. The food was so delicious. I was grateful that they had multiple choices since I am a vegan. I've been spoiled. Being a VIP is the way to go. Thank you @Echo_CirqueDuSoleil. read more

I am happy to say I went to see KOOZA recently. I've watched about 10 Cirque Du Soleil shows, this is my 1st in Seattle. The location at Marymoor Park is terrifc with plenty of parking. I was entertained by the silly, funny story for the show. The performers were very talented and impressive. I recommend seing it before the show run ends next month. read more

Loved going to the Kooza show as a date night experience. Incredible acts and atmosphere.

Cirque du Soleil KOOZA is at Marymoor park. It's a Great show for all ages. A little spendy but kids love it. Easy parking and it's in a safe environment. They perform through March 16. read more

I've been wanting to see a Cirque Du Soleil show for quite some time and am so thankful we got the chance to see 'VOLTA'. The entire show was so mesmerizing and fun. The cast did a fabulous job keeping the crowd engaged and entertained. Each performance was so wonderfully calculated - from the music, costumes, color, imagery etc. you could tell the talent on stage and behind the scenes. My favorites included the colorful costumes, gymnastics, social commentary and the woman hung by her hair dancing so beautifully in the air. This is a MUST see for all ages! read more

I want to say a big thank you to Yelp and CDS for the wonderful evening. Although our seats are towards the back, but they are right in the center with unobstructed view. I am very happy and content to be in those seats since I did not pay for them. The actual show is about 1.5 hour long. I feel like it's a bit short, because I want to see more, and all the performances are so entertaining. The music and the lighting are great as well. The parking fee is indeed steep at 20 dollars. It's not very nice, but I'm not sure who is to blame. The park? Or CDS? Lol Volta is a wonderful show, and unfortunately it has its own shares of mishaps and tragedy. I just hope and wish them a smooth residency until the time ends. read more

Thanks Yelp for our tickets! Volta was definitely a great show. The performances and acts were very high energy, but the live music and the singers really elevated this show. I can only compare this show to the Luzia show, which was more story telling, beautiful costumes and the stage is breathtaking. Volta is high energy focusing in stunts and acrobatics/ gymnastics. My friend really liked the comedian between show. He was really good as well. This show was seen in Marymoor Park. Parking is $20, they take cash and cards. Selling movie theater food with a high price tag. They serve alcohol and wine as well (I cried in the inside when I saw how small my wine cup was for $14). We opt to upgrade our free tickets for $10 each. Seriously, we didn't have to. We were surprised how central the stage was and even with the seats in the way back, they stage feels really close and you can see everything! read more

Another spectacular show by Cirque Du Soleil filled with daring acts, beautiful costumes and a hopeful underlying message! Volta inspires viewers to embrace the inner free-spirit and individuality that lies within each of us. The story-line follows a character who we learn through video flashbacks has been a "dreamer" since childhood, but is now outcast by members of the conformist society due to his differences. His encounter with the Free Spirits take him on a journey of self-acceptance to find true happiness. While the show was extremely captivating, the transitions between acts were not as fluid as I have seen in previous Cirque performances. However, perhaps that is the intent as to tie in with the "free-spirit" theme since it added an element of surprise and definitely kept me engaged. Nevertheless, I loved it all! The performances included aerial acts, a synchronized trampoline piece, an energetic BMX routine and "shape diving" just to name a few. You also won't believe your eyes when one woman flies around the stage by the mere strength of just her hair! I'm always astonished at how the performers make every move look effortless and the level of precision involved in the choreography. Between performances, a solo actor took the stage twice and delivered an entertaining pantomime-type of act that provided segments of comedic-relief. My only real gripe is that unfortunately, the show ended very abruptly following the BMX routine without closure to the overall story-line, leaving it open to interpretation. I really appreciated their use of the rotating stage throughout the show which allows for great views all around. I recommend choosing seats somewhere within top two-thirds of the theater since you'll be able to see the entire stage and all the action. We sat within the top one-third to the left side of the stage and could easily see everything. Note: For those bringing small children, they offer booster seats! While I enjoyed their Luzia and Kurios productions a bit more, Volta is the most uplifting and heart-warming out of the three. I'm already looking forward to the next time the Grand Chapiteau arrives in Seattle! As a final note, the portable bathrooms are clean with "plumbing" (they flush!) and actual sink stations! 4.75 stars. read more

Volta was an amazing show! I have never walked away from a Cirque Du Soleil show disappointed. The energy, lights, performance, and music just make this show and every other one amazing. The only thing that I can say that is disappointing is the price of things inside the tent. 6 bucks for a water, 7 dollars for a small Nathans hotdog. You are already dropping over 100 dollars per ticket and I don't mind paying money for food, but at least have something tasty. See you guys next year! read more

Loved this new show by CDS. The show that traveled here last year (Luzia) highlighted colors and lights and more of the aesthetics whereas this one highlights the sheer athleticism of the performers. The overarching theme is relevant to modem day society and the music and choreography are stunning. I've seen a lot of circus acts, being friends with someone in the industry - so I can be a harsh critic - this show was very impressive and offered some really unique acts. Well designed theme concept and cohesiveness/flow. The clowning was well done in the show - I'm always delighted alongside all the kids in the audience during this portion. CDS always picks great actors for that portion of the show. I also loved that all of the performers came out into the crowd at the end of the show - they all truly looked like they love what they do. How could they not?! read more

Cirque Du Soleil always seems to deliver great shows that are entertaining, exciting, exhilarating, and fresh. The dazzling lights, fantastic music, colorful costumes, and incredible acrobatics keeps you on the edge of your seat. Volta is certainly different than other recent shows, with less mechanical showmanship, but far more performer action. In fact, at some points there's so much exciting action going on with multiple performers, covering just about the entire stage that it's almost (but not too much do) sensory overload. As a personal observation, I think Volta hits a great mix of theatrics that's good for all viewers, children to adult. It's relevant for the times, and I think brilliant marketing for future generations. Great family outing! As a side note, they offer upgraded seats for a little more money. The upgraded seats are still tight, but are certainly more comfortable and located in the premium sections. read more

Entertaining show with very talented performers! Facility sucked tho My thoughts on the show itself: Overall, great show with beautiful theming and music. I felt the show could've been a lot stronger without the intro--the "Wow" game show part. It was cheesy and not that enthralling. As soon as Waz, the main character, was laughed off the game show and the *REAL* performance started, I regained my interest and attention. My favorite scenes were the hair girl and the bicyclists: HAIR GIRL: I have never seen a person hang by her hair AND do insane acrobatic tricks like spin and float around the stage. I could not believe my eyes and I'm pretty sure I said "what the heck" maybe a thousand times during this scene. Honestly this scene alone made the whole show worth it. I went home and tried to recreate this but I couldn't. Guess I don't have strong enough hair :( BICYCLISTS: The bicyclists were insanely talented as well. I kept worrying they were going to crash into each other but they continued to do flips and tricks on their bikes. I also enjoyed the clown scenes, especially the washing machine part. I laughed a lot, probably more than the kids in the audience. My thoughts on the facility (Marymoor): okay sorry the facility sucked so much. They tried to charge $20 for parking!!! In Redmond! Where there's so much land you could roll around in grass for miles and miles and not hit anything! The worst part was they directed all traffic towards the parking lot without mention the $20 fee until it was too late to turn around. PRO TIP: there is free parking around the park, you just have to find it. We went behind the baseball stadium towards the exit of the park, right by the stop sign, and only walked 10 min to the venue. Another thing that sucked about the facility: they offered $10 upgrades on-site to the premium seats directly in front of the stage. I'd highly recommend this, as it made a huge difference (everyone was cheering and clapping in this section and the energy was super fun). HOWEVER the upgrades cost the same before and after intermission, so if you're going to upgrade, do it at the beginning of the show to get your money's worth! Additionally, they didn't check your tickets to see if you actually upgraded, as a cheap couple next to us illegally sat in our section. So, you could potentially get away with it, but for $10 a ticket... just buy the dang thing! Overall, would recommend. Volta is definitely not one of the high-quality classic Cirque shows, but it's not the worst. For context, Ka is my all time favorite, and I'd rank Volta at the same tier as Zumanity. read more

There were so many exciting acts that provide a range of emotions for the audience, from high-flying acts to comedic scenes where not one word is spoken. I loved the costumes and the makeup of the characters. The physical talent that is needed to perform these acts daily (and sometimes twice a day) is commendable and very impressive. The entire time while watching the show there were question marks coming out of my head because I just couldn't comprehend how the performers were doing all these crazy stunts. They set the bar higher and higher every single time and always added a little more danger. I was scared for them and it kept me at the edge of my seat. And yes, like some other reviews have mentioned, there was an act with a woman dancing while being hung by her air!! This one probably gave me the most "wtf??" looks on my face. Just fascinating. After the show was over I got to meet some of the performers who were very nice and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. In addition I got to go behind the stage where all the magic happens from makeup to wardrobe to all the logistics that need to happen for so many people like laundry and food. We also learned about the history of Cirque Du Soleil, how the performers are lodged and the logistics needed for that, how they determine which locations around the country to set up their next show, how the gigantic tent works, and so much more. It was awesome to get insight into everything that needs to go into producing a show as big as this. Also, during the tour someone asked the tour guide about the woman who was hung by her hair and the guide mentioned that no one knows how she does it or what she does (not even the other performers). She goes into the restroom and a couple minutes later she's out and ready to go. Now that's some real magic! read more

This was my first time ever to Cirque Du Soleil, so I don't have anything to compare against! Overall, we loved the performance... it was an amazing blend of dance, gymnastics, strength, talent, and feats you might see on X-Games! We weren't drawn to the overall story-line throughout the show, but the individual performances were breathtaking. The trampoline act was our favorite -- I could have watched it all day! Make sure you get your food and drink before the show, because prices in the tent are ridiculous... $10 for a can of beer, and $5 for water or candy? Bah! Great show - recommend! read more

Cirque du Soleil has amazed me almost always. Of course this one is a traveling event and will have to be a little smaller. Though I've seen another performance in another city and they had 2 or 3 stages. Anyway, this one had tremendous performances like the bikes. Oh my God, they are amazing! In such a little space. And what about the blue guy hanging from the red lamp. Gorgeous and a great performer. The lady hanging from her hair. I just can imagine how hard would that be only by remembering how I used a super tight ponytail when I was a kid! :D Another one that made me get into the jumping rope was the performance of this guys and their blinking rope :D I know this show was trying to show us that we can still do something interesting and not only chat through our cellphones. But I always thought that this Cirque should offer something with the wow factor or something only few people could do. This time I felt as if I went to a high school band performance mixed with ballet dancers, and some other tricks. And don't get me wrong, I used to be a ballet dancer myself and I know it's super hard, training, staging, choreography, etc. But for this kind of events, I just thought I might see something different from what I am used to. Now regarding souvenirs, we all know that show stuff isn't cheap because of branding and Export-Import. But snacks?? I mean, they weren't selling dinner nor event sandwiches. It was cotton candy per $8! BTW I forgot that I don't like that cheese brand :S Parking: yes, it is $20. I think is pricey. It could be $10-15. Hope it goes to Redmond City helping with the lawn that would be affected or Marymoor Park. It is a lovely lovely spot :) I will keep coming here ;) read more

What an amazing show. First off, you can't have a bad seat...the theater is a circle, so no matter what side you're on, you're going to see the stage without a problem. (Unless you have a tall person in front of you, but that's my problem.) Did you know that VOLTA means turn in Italian? You will see a TON of turning, spinning....these performers lead dizzy lives. :) There was a great storyline to VOLTA, something I don't recall from seeing other Cirque shows. I recall a theme, but not a story. It was of a young boy reflecting on memories of his past. Oftentimes, you'd see a clip of a mom teaching a boy to ride a bike, which led into amazing BMX daredevils performing. Or a unicycle. The music was unique and beautiful. The dancing was emotional and touching. The performers were so spot on, they made it look easy. The timing had to be perfect on so many of these acts because otherwise they'd be crashing into each other and making a mess of things. Some unique things I've never seen before: the trampoline performances...but kiddo loved it! And there was also a woman that seemed to be connected to the sky by her hair? It was like she was levitating, it was nuts! A common pair that I remember from other Cirque shows is the pair of men that balance on each other to do crazy, insane stunts. This time, imagine them in the air. With no safety nets or restraints. Stunning. Scary. Amazing. Hands down recommend this show, wherever it may be. These performers are insanely talented and put on a helluva show. read more

Impressive, Unique, Elite - From the time I saw the well designed tents, to the uniformed, enthusiastic staff, even the merch & concessions, the circular light trimmed stage in an atmosphere small enough to house all good seats, then the extravagant, colorful, personalized costumes, their physiques, athleticism, love of what they are doing, and the fact that they have worked a life time to achieve such. TALENT! It is worth the cost. Just Go! read more

I was extremely fortunate and grateful to be invited to attend Volta as a Yelp Elite member! I was beyond excited and loved every moment of the performance! I've never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, so this was really special. The aerial acrobatics were by far my favorite part, but I also very much enjoyed the opening act of jump ropers and bicyclists. I wasn't sure what to expect regarding the big top at Marymoor Park. It's actually very nice! There isn't one bad seat and my view was great. The temperature was comfortable. It was very casual, everyone was so friendly, and there was a lot of audience participation. Fun! The only negative for us was that we live in Tacoma and it's quite a drive to get to Seattle or the Seattle area during rush hour. If we could make it to more events, we certainly would. Otherwise, I highly the recommended the show! read more

If you like Cirque Du Soleil this won't disappoint! If you've never seen a Cirque Du Soleil show this is a great intro one! Time: about 2.5 hours including a 20-25 min intermission. Tickets: about $80-100 (at least what we paid) Parking: $20 :( but very well managed I've got to say! Impressed with the crew. Show: Amazing mix of performances. Think of it as a circus on steroids and many more acrobatic feats. Mix of typical circus tricks, amazing acrobatics, dance, BMX biking, and a funny "clown" that the kids loved. Loved hearing the kids behind us laugh so much. The highlight of the show for me was the hair acrobatic dancer. I couldn't shut my dropped jaws the entire time. So worth it! Tip: get to venue at least fifteen minutes early. Lots of ppl and parking spot to venue can be about ten minute walk. Show starts pretty much on time. Great family show. read more

Never disappointed when I attend a Cirque du Soleil show! Getting there was smooth and signs were well placed throughout the park. Parking fee at $20 was a bit steep in my opinion. Security at show made me feel safe. Metal detector and purse checker at the entrance. The show was 2.5 hours with a 25 minute intermission. All of the performances were absolutely great! Even laughed at certain parts of the show. Really shows what the human body is capable of, WOW! Show is very punctual and the parking lot is about a 10 minute walk away. They sell alcoholic beverages and fair style foods like popcorns, cotton candy, hotdogs, pretzels. Lots of Cirque Du Soleil stuff for sale as well. Definitely worth the money for the show! read more

Thanks Yelp! My friend & I both really enjoyed Volta! The performers were amazing and the stunts they pulled were super cool. My favorite part was the music--it was so mesmerizing! I think we both wished that we could at least bring in water for a 2hour+ performance. A water bottle was be sold inside the tent for $6 a pop. Yikes. read more

Wow! What a spectacle of acrobatics! Thank you Yelp for the tickets! We enjoyed the show immensely!!! It was a face paced, energetic, well choreographed show. The best part for me were the trampoline acrobatics and the BMX bicyclists. They both were so well timed, I kinda felt like they were going to collide the whole scene, but practice paid off! The only thing that wasn't high on my list was a lady who was suspended by only her hair, doing acrobatics, spins, twirls, etc. I just felt like that was an accident waiting to happen *cringe worthy. Kudos to the whole cast! They were all amazing! read more

Cirque du Soleil never disappoints, you're always a celebration of the capabilities of the human form. Volta is no different. Though it has a unique twist - it blends the theatricality with a more sports minded outlook - parkour, BMX, dance, even vaudevillian sketches have some athleticism to them. I also loved the use of light tonight - While in many ways this was a more effective light show than I've seen in the past it was also more simple. The stage could have eight or nine actors moving furiously yet it was still never too busy to watch, nor will you lose things in the periphery because you were having to focus on the people or the light. I'm giving 5 stars, though I would give 4.5 if I could - the one piece that seemed a bit weaker than past shows was the character development: As usual, there was a central character in a story of uniqueness creating loneliness, and finding strength through that uniqueness. Past shows have developed more than just the individual character but Volta really doesn't. That's not to say it isn't wonderfully done, just not up to what I consider Cirque du Soleil standards. As always, very worth the time and money - it's full of spectacle and beauty! I'll go see a 4.5 any day of the week! read more

I've been to multiple Cirque shows in Vegas, but this was my first traveling show under the Big Top. It didn't disappoint as there were some seriously amazing performers. The two that stood out were the Double Dutch Jump Roping, the woman who swung around from her hair. The show was highly entertaining, but didn't seem quite as cohesive as others I've seen, however the music (composed my M83), costumes and pure physical talent of the performers was incredible. There's a reason they are all ripped. The show was also quite a bit smaller than the Vegas ones. They explained that's because they have to fit everything under the Big Top, but for Vegas shows they build a stadium to their specifications so the sky's the limit on what they can do. After the show there was a short Q&A session with two of the performers. They really put a lot of commitment into the show, both in training and being on the road for months on end. We got to go backstage to see how everything works behind the scene and learned a bit of history behind Cirque Du Soleil. Thank you to Yelp for an amazing evening at the Circus. read more

Cirque Du Soleil is usually a hit or miss. It was an entertaining show and the performers were amazing in how synced they were and very talented. However, I feel like the show was a bit over hyped up and was missing that wow factor. They had a lot of little filler acts to make up for the time and acrobatics doing some cool moves but some variety would have made it awesome. Sometimes it also got a little too busy on the stage with different acts going on at once that it was hard to focus on one performance. Also not a fan of the story line and it was getting way too repetitive plus some of the costumes and acts looked like a spooky Halloween scene at times.The real performance was a lot better and entertaining! My favorite act was the girl with her hair attached to the rope doing amazing acrobatic moves so flawlessly. I was definitely mesmerized by her performance and kept thinking in my mind if she was a robot because how can a human hang their entire body on some fragile hair. FYI Marymoor Park is charging $20 for parking and they don't tell you till you get there and then there is really no way to turn around. Usually parking is a $1hr or free so I don't why they have to charge such insane prices. And don't even get me started on the concession stands! They were charging $6 for water and $12 for a small bag of popcorn. No thank you! They don't allow you to bring outside food or drinks but I was able to walk-in with a cup of Starbucks Coffee that they told me to finish in the tent. The bathrooms are located inside the tent after you get all checked in and were clean and basically an upgraded version of a Honey bucket but with REAL toilets. Woohoo! Overall, for the price I wouldn't recommend this show because it can sure get pricey! Especially with parking and the concession stands. I agree with the other Yelper that its definitely not one of their high-quality shows. I've been to the Kurios Cabinets show in NY and the costumes and performance were a lot more breathtaking. read more

Thank you for the tickets, Yelp and CDS! My husband and I really enjoyed our weekday date night at the show, with much to talk about afterwards. The variety and complexity of the acts captivated our attention and kept us entertained throughout. I appreciated that it was well paced and the story line was clear, unlike other CDS shows I have seen in the past (at Marymoor and in Vegas). It really is great for all ages - young and old alike will be amazed. The size of the stage may have been a limitation, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the energy and engagement of the performers. One star was taken away due to the cost of parking ($20) and concessions. We reluctantly purchased water for $6/bottle and contemplated getting a snack, but passed after seeing the prices. read more

Perfect show for both adults and children. I'm always a fan of Cique de soile and this show didn't disappoint me. I also had a chance to tour the backstage and it was even better than the show itself. Was so amazed of how they worked to create the show and talked with the crew. read more

Such an amazing experience! Performers are so talented. The show had a variety of performances from skits, singers, violinist, bikers, acrobats, etc. they try to engaged the audience and do a great job at it. What energy! The space was not as a big as I had expected which is actually great because I felt like you could still see the performance clearly from any seat in the back. Well organized, easy to find your way around. Workers helped direct where our seats were so that was convenient. They had a beer garden, concession that served popcorn, hot dogs and nachos. A little gift shop and spots for you to take pictures in the main lobby area, no pictures or recording allowed during the show. Parking is 20 dollars and it was easy getting in and out. Wasn't crowded surprisingly. I would definitely come again! read more

I think the show was lovely. This show is a "breath of fresh air". It was well put-together, costumes were nice all the way through. The crowd was nice sort a intimate- low key but energy was very good. The performers were really engaging. It made me smile most of the time. I have to admit there was one part on the 2nd part of the show that I caught myself too comfy and close to dosing off. (Senior moment, sorry...) This event was all-together well organized. They had plenty of port-potty that were very clean (airplane-like), plenty of kiosks for souvenirs including a VIP section. On the flip side of this though, everything are SO expensive! One example is the Aquafina regular bottle for $6 whole dollars. Need I say it was "Aquafina"!? I also couldn't see myself paying $12 whole dollars for a cup of wine. I'm too practical for it otherwise... Anyway, I recommend this show. It's refreshing and will definitely bring some endorphins. Plan ahead on getting here early enough so that you can get situated well and enjoy this treat you deserve. read more

THIS IS NOT FOR THE SHOW ITSELF. Volta is an extraordinary show, and the performers are, as usual, outrageously talented, skilled and appealing. This review is for the inexcusable poor organization of the food and drink concessions. Nevermind the fact that these are outrageously overpriced. We are accustomed to this, and we justify it based on convenience, but there's nothing convenient about this confusing set-up, and the misleading signage is so aggravating and unnecessary, it is hard to understand how the Cirque organization can overlook this. There are signs over multiple food / drink kiosks mentioning wine or other alcohol, so one naturally chooses what appears to be the shortest line. But when you get to the front of the line of one such station, you are told they don't sell wine there (even though the sign directly above the cashier lists wine). Why not use signage that indicates only the things you sell at that particular register? Similarly, there were two separate lines at the kiosk that does sell liquor and wine. No signage or staff indicate what the different lines were for, so one naturally looks for the shortest of all the lines, only to find out (after having waited in line 10 minutes) that that line is only for people who have already paid! We were unable to get drinks both before the show and in the intermission for one mistake or another and instead wasted time standing in lines for nothing. Get it together, Cirque! This is part of the experience of the entire evening and as such it's enough to sour one on the whole thing. How complicated is it to provide accurate signage indicating what is sold at each kiosk and what line is for what purpose? read more

This show promotes atmosphere much like that on a football game. A lot of shrieking "wooo wooo" from the scene, and from the audience, very unpleasant and not typical of the Cirque Du Soleil magic. People around us, some drunk, some not, were shrieking non-stop, disturbed all musical compositions, and there was no supervision to stop or control that - the environment was basically uncontrolled and unsupervised. This is evident even from many pictures posted in reviews here - usually Cirque Du Soleil does not allow photographing, but people did whatever they wanted on this show, including taking photos, no one would stop them. read more
