I had a singularly horrific experience buying disabled seating to Cirque du Soleil echo. It took many hours on the phone with them over many days. I'm not exaggerating. And couldn't be done over the web unless I wanted much more expensive tickets than the ones I wanted. Given the risks performers take and occasional disabilities that result, you would think they would be more considerate of at least meeting their legal obligations to disabled guests. The actual accommodations on site and performance were top-notch but they had already ruined the experience. I have plenty of documentation, including plenty of emails if management wants to review. read more

Amazing Echo show! Yowza! My girls and I had such a great time this past Saturday here. We weren't sure how the seats would be but let me tell you, they were absolutely perfect. I think anywhere you sit, you would get an awesome view of the show. At any rate, I couldn't tell you what the show was all about but the movements, acrobats, colors, music and vibes were immaculate. It was my second show with Cirque Du Soleil and it absolutely won't be my last. Seriously, it was the best time! read more

ECHO by Cirque du Soleil was a visually stunning and emotionally engaging experience, and a strong entry in Cirque's lineup. I've attended Cirque du Soleil shows regularly for years and don't think I've missed one in the past decade--ECHO absolutely held its own. From an operations standpoint, a few practical notes first. We visited the restrooms upon arrival; they were portable units, but impressively clean and well maintained, though the interior space was a bit tight. ADA accessibility appeared limited--access to seating required climbing steps, which is worth noting for anyone with mobility concerns. Ushers were excellent, however, and our large group was efficiently escorted to our seats near the stage with care and professionalism. The show itself was visually arresting, with powerful acrobatics, striking staging, and several genuinely emotional moments. The production centers on themes of connection, balance, and humanity's relationship with the natural world, conveyed through movement, music, and a constantly evolving set. Audience engagement was strong throughout, and the response at the end made it clear the show was a hit. We participated in the VIP experience, which was well organized and added value to the evening. During the 25-minute intermission, we visited the VIP tent, where drinks, cocktails, sweet treats, and popcorn were included. There were also dedicated VIP restrooms, which was a nice perk. VIP guests received a show-related booklet and a special gift--an umbrella--which felt thoughtful rather than gimmicky. The VIP area provided a comfortable place to relax and reset before the second half of the performance. Overall, this was a great night of entertainment--polished, emotional, and visually memorable. If you're a Cirque du Soleil fan, ECHO is well worth seeing, and even for newcomers, it's an impressive introduction to what the company does best. read more

Cirque du Soleil's Echo in San Francisco is a return to roots, highlighting the elements that make Cirque iconic. A mischievous clown duo anchors the show, supported by acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, hair hangers (how do they DO that?) and catapulting teeterboard acrobats. Having seen Cirque before, before purchasing tickets we read other reviews of this particular show, and the general consensus is Echo isn't their very best show--but it still delivers that sense of playful wonder that we turn to Cirque for. The acrobatic feats and performances are spellbinding. Echo incorporates ethereal vocal & instrumental music throughout: a highlight for us. read more

Such a cool experience! Came here with a group of 4 and even though we didn't have our tickets due to a credit card error, the staff gave us even better seats and honored our discount. The performers are great and it's really an immersive show - I loved how different each act was, and no matter where you sit, you get a good 360 view of the stage. Probably one of the best circus shows I've seen and it's not tooo long. I was entertained the whole time. read more

Cirque du Soleil was a solid experience, especially for anyone who appreciates athleticism, focus, and high performance art. The show featured a variety of impressive acts, including flips on the Neolttwigi, slack lining, duo hair suspension, human juggling, banquine, human crafle and multiple gymnastics-based movements, each stunt required an incredible amount of discipline, coordination and trust, and it definitely showed in the execution. The Double Trouble clowns were also a great addition, providing comedic relief throughout the dhow and keeping the audience laughing between acts. That said, I wish they had included a few more high risk or iconic Cirque staples, such as the wheel of death, cerceaux, or Russian swing, to really elevate the thrill factor. The seating was uncomfortable, similar to what you'd expect at a sporting event. Legroom and personal space were very tight. When people needed to get to their seats, they had to squeeze through a narrow space in front of you, and you're pretty much rubbing elbows with the people on either side. Food was okay. The popcorn was salty, the pretzel was fine, and the chicken tenders were also alright. Not bad, but not something I'd go out of my way to buy again in the future. Parking is available on-site, but we found a cheaper option by parking in the Chase Center parking garage, which was about a 10 minute walk from the venue. One last tip: the 25 minute intermission is when everyone rushes to the porter johns, and they get packed fast. Plan accordingly unless you're okay with waiting behind half the crowd. read more

**Echo @ 4:30 12072025 = 3.5 STARS** The cousins, plus my niece and I, went on a freezing Sunday afternoon/early evening. The 1 pm showing was just getting out when we were walking in, so it was a bit of a cluster getting around and finding parking. The wayfinding regarding parking and entrance wasn't as visible as the previous experience I've had ages ago. Thus, bring your patience when navigating around the area and or the Uber/Lyft services. The staff that day seemed exhausted from the check-in to security. I'm not going to fault them b/c such is life, but just keep that in mind. The toilet area needed cleaning. Again, after the 1 pm showing, so perhaps do the early show (lesson learned). It was a bit disgusting if you're OCD like my crew lol. The food selection (thankfull,y I saw the prices and menu prior) was really limited. I think it's best to eat dinner pre or after but since we had a 10 year old anda 6 year old, we ended up getting the chicken tenders that didn't come with fries (which was odd) and the beverage selection is really not the healthiest for kids so we opted to get one "supposedly" healthy slushy and water (which you can bring your own water bottle to refill which was really nice). The souvenir - oh boy - talk about sticker price shock! I always collect CDS magnetics, so I got one, but wow, it was $15, and my niece wanted the whale toy...the total was about $40 plus tax. I asked the cashier if it was made of gold, and she laughed, and I said, "Hooray for tariffs, huh?" She laughed even more. That was an experience lol. Now for the show... it was definitely not the best I've seen. The first half full full-packed, but the second half felt like it was rushed and bleh. It was still an experience, but I wished it were more balanced in acts. One complaint: for the parents who want to see it but their kids do not, please listen to your kids. I had a mom next to me with 2 kids, and one wanted to see it, and the other was adamant about not being there. Therefore, the kid who didn't want to be there acted out. So much so that she was kicking and complaining the whole time, and the mom was "oblivious" to the meltdown of her child. COME ON! I got kicked, and it was loud. Of course, the mom acted like nothing had happened. It just ruined the experience for me. Completely obnoxious behavior so hopefully you won't be seated to such behavior when you go. read more

Echo was a beautiful show with wide variety of performances. I was able to reserve affordable $11 parking 15 min walk away via SpotHero. The seats are small and packed together so probably not the best for those who need more room. The music was loud so we were glad that we brought earplugs. I run warm so was pleasantly surprised that the inside temperature was comfortable, and I saw others around me took off their jackets & layers on this cold winter night. Enjoyable experience! read more

First time watching Cirque in the Big Tent in almost 10 years. This time, the show was Echo. Pro tip: Grab a croissant from Arsicault next door before coming in. Beautiful set and costumes. Acrobatics were fun, but skill level was slightly different than the ones in Vegas, but still entertaining. They provide booster seats and headphones for kids for free which is a nice touch. Wouldn't hesitate to come back with kids! read more

I am an avid fun of Cirque du Soleil having to have seen every show in Las Vegas. So when they come in my town I just have to go see. I look forward every Christmas season when their travelling productions shows up in town and I feel it's one of the perfect way to celebrate the season so I bring my family to go see with me. When their in town, you bet yea I'm going to see them. ECHO is not one of the shows that I have yet to see, so I was super excited! As always the process getting there is flawless. It gets packed even in parking so we uber! And eventhough the line gets packed the crew are always very proficient and we get through inside the big top without issues. They have light snacks available like chicken tenders, hotdogs, popcorn etc and a bar for cocktails. I also love their souvenir and merch shop as I tend to purchase a magnet and a mug to add to my collections. When we got to our seats, it was just wonderful as I made sure I paid for good seats where it was close enough to see the show up front and easy to get up if we needed to step away. When the show began, as always it was breathtaking. From the costumes and make up, the expertise of the performers, the stage design and lights overall phenomenal! We enjoyed our time and experience and we would definitely watch more shows of their again and again. read more

We were not able to make the show because my father was in so much pain we had to go to the emergency room and are currently waiting a biopsy for possible cancer. I contacted Cirque du Soleil first thing Monday morning and they refused to offer any accommodation - I then asked if we could get the $15 child rate that they've been advertising due to lose ticket sales and they continuously refused ANY accommodation. I filed a complaint with the better business bureau and the night after the Wednesday $15 ticket show they called to say they could accommodate - but it was last night!!! The only solution for losing my $1310.00 and having 5 upset children is a 20% off coupon for an imaginary future show in San Francisco. So sad and disappointed in such a large organization. I even provided them with medical records and my father's private diagnosis! read more

We went to this show, Kooza, at the Oracle Lot off Mission Rock St in SF. I have been to Cirque shows before in Vegas but, this was my first time going under the big tent. I knew the performances would be amazing but, I was also pleasantly surprised with the facility. Performance: 5/5 The performances were absolutely amazing. Each one was an incredible display of strength, technique and precision. There were also portions of the show and before the show where some of the performers interacted with the audience and they were hilarious and engaging. An added bonus that I did not realize going into the show, was that they play all the music for the show live. The music and the musicians were amazing! Facility: 5/5 I'm giving this a 5/5 because for a big tent, this was nicer than I was expecting. The portable bathrooms were clean and secure. They weren't the typical outhouses like you find at a fair or concert. The main lobby area had seating areas you could hand out in while you had your drink or snack. They also had outdoor seating areas. They had a lot of employees working the snack areas, so the lines moved quickly. The main seating area had a good amount of seats, but it was intimate enough that any seat in the house was a good seat. Parking: 5/5 Anywhere in the city in this area you can expect to pay $30-40 for parking. We used spot hero and got parking in Oracle Lot A. It was the main parking lot for this show. The actual lot was in on a port area and it was very secure. They had security checking passes prior to you being able to even enter the area to get to the lot. It was also reasonably priced for this area. We paid $30. This was the first time we brought our kids to a show like this and it was a great experience for all of us. If you have the chance to see it, I highly recommend it. It is in SF until 3/17 and then I think they move to San Jose. read more

Great Show Kooza! at the Oracle Park Parking Lot A under the big tent. Hint: There is really no bad seat for this venue, as the theatre is quite small. Look for seats that will allow you to view from the center, and it doesn't matter if you are "way back there"... because you're not. With this small theatre, I would recommend center seat vs. side seating even if you're closer. As always, Cirque du Soleil delivers a great show and this one is friendly for all ages. Excellent thrills, movements, acrobatics, performance and humor. All staff were friendly and helpful through and through. There is a 25-mins intermission. Snacks and drinks were outrageously priced. $10 for a plain hot dog, $12 for a bag of popcorn, and drinks (beer or wine) that start at $16. read more

We celebrated Valentines on February 18, 2024, at Cirque du Soliel Kooza, and it was a very memorable adventure in San Francisco. We are "Veterans" of the Cirque Du Soliel troupe and have seen at least 10 shows in San Francisco and Las Vegas during the past 20 years. We have seen The Beatles Love, O, KÀ, Cavila, OVO, and others. This Cirque du Soliel Kooza show is very intimate, upbeat, and magical. We went during a Sunday matinee, which was our first day time performance during the Winter season. It was special to have families with small children in the audience. The children's laughter, screams & giggles added a special dimension to the prefomamce. Precious. Kooza story shares a simple innocence adventure of fantasy. "KOOZA is an innovative journey viewed through the perspective of The Innocent, an endearing yet naïve clown looking for his place in the world. A mystery item is delivered to The Innocent one day when he is flying his kite. The self-discovery journey of The Innocent, who is miraculously transferred to a bizarre but exotic world, is followed in KOOZA under the watchful eye of an enigmatic trickster" The acrobatics stunts, talented high wire "dare devils" make the audience gasp with delight! The playful ballet intertwine with a beautiful live orchestra and humor! Highly recommend for Valentines, birthday or celebrating life! read more

KOOZA! What a phenomenal show! As usual, Cirque de Soleil entertained us with amazing acrobatics, awe inspiring balancing, crazy flexibility, sheer strength and live musical performances with beautiful singing. And clowns.

And I'm glad the seats are more comfortable now in the tents! read more

What an awesome experience! I've seen the set up many a times in my trips into the city, but didn't realize the magnitude of the set up until I walked into the big tent. From the outside, the space they take up seems small. The show was cute and family friendly. There were scenes that may be considered as dark to shine people, but overall I thought there was an element of the show that appeal to the majority of the audience. There were a few cons, the seating is tight and small. A larger sized person by all definitions would not be at all comfortable sitting through the show. I appreciated the intermission time as it gave me a moment to stretch out. We were all packed in line sardines. The side seats that we were in were obstructed, but we still managed to get most of the show view. If I decide to attend again, I would definitely pick center stage seats. read more

It was another fantastic performance. This is our 4th time seeing those performances and this was one of the best.

Cirque du Soleil's Kooza was so much fun! The spectacular acrobatics were mesmerizing and helped tell the story of Kooza. I've been to other Cirque du Soleil's before but this one was an attention grabber and you always know when you're having a good time when it feels like the time is going by way too fast. The live band sounded like a soundtrack, they were amazing. The singers were on point and the athleticism of the acrobats was amazing. All the tricks were done perfectly. Parking was a little confusing to find, it's actually in the back of it past 3rd street. Once you find it it's a close walk to the entrance. I recommend getting pre-paid parking as they just scan your barcode and get you through. The restrooms are porta-pottys, and they do have wheelchair accessibility for the show and restrooms. I just wish the prices for the souvenir merchandise was more reasonable. read more

Cirque shows are synonymous with jaw dropping entertainment. Kooza was nothing short of that with the talent that these artists exhibit. Not the artistic easy to get story that most cirque shows express, but a more silly "circus" with live music that also is exemplary. Catch it before it leaves, but it is a traveling Cirque show, so you can catch it somewhere else, too. read more

The touring show Amaluna takes place on a mythical island inhabited by Goddesses and the relationship between a mother and her daughters coming of age. The show is appropriately 2 hrs and 20 min with a 25 min admission and takes place in the parking lot of AT&T park. Pro tips: Park on the Mission Rock side as close to the entrance when you come in. That way you will have an easier time exiting the parking lot. If the show you are planning on attending is not full and has several seats available, don't buy the best seats as you have an opportunity to "upgrade" your seats at the concierge desk at the venue. There are current groupons with discounts available, so be sure to check for those. We thought that the show was excellent, with a great cast and live music. And it was awesome to see a primarily female cast in the lead roles as well as all of the musicians. That was something we have never seen in a Cirque show in the past. The show progressed from a unicycle act, to a aerialist, then a water acrobat, gymnasts, and a very amazing balancing stick act which was really amazing. The cast had abundant energy and the pace kept flowing throughout the show. There were several upgrade options if you wanted drinks and food from $50 to $95. I do believe they had private bathrooms though. Be forewarned about the bathrooms, at intermission the bathrooms are absolutely packed! We had a great time at this one and we would not hesitate to go to this one again if we had the chance! read more

The show was amazing! My husband and I had date night and were able to catch the opening night of Amaluna. It was such a great show and known for having a cast of 70% women and an all female band. The women of the show were absolute bad asses and every one was so talented. I found myself, holding my breath at times during some of the acts. The food served is overpriced and consists of mainly hot dogs, popcorn. Grab dinner beforehand so you don't end up eating a $9 hot dog like me. We found street parking a couple of blocks away near Gus' market. Way better than parking in the lot and so much easier to get out of. I definitely recommend the show! It's amazing and a fun night for a date or with family. read more

My boyfriend and I love going to Cirque du Soleil shows whether it be in Las Vegas or in the Bay Area when there's a tour. He and I both agreed that Amaluna was one of the best ones we've seen. It definitely sits in my top 5. The production of Amaluna was amazing - from the lights, to the set, to the props, to the sound. It had a clear and cohesive story line. And, of course, the artistry and athleticism of the performers were absolutely exceptional. Amaluna was magical, and the divine feminine was strong in this one! Aside from the fact that 70% of the cast were female, Amaluna was an exhibition of women's strength, beauty, and sensuality. Having been in ceremonies, I totally recognized how the show started in ceremony and ended in ceremony. The way they visually represented the central fire during ceremony was so cool and creative, too. The moon and connection to the sacred feminine was also very obvious to me. Memorable acts for me included the following: - Killer all-female band! The lead guitarist on the strat had some solos, and I loved that she was smiling and totally feeling it. I loved the celloist and singers as well. The lead singer who played the goddess had a powerful voice and beautiful vibratos. - Ms. Luna, herself. The moon as portrayed by a trapeze artist using an O ring. She was breathtaking. The artist's movements were elegant and effortless, and she was so damn flexible! - The main female character had her own acrobatic segment after the moon did her thing. She was doing these sick hand stands and balancing poses. - During one of the rituals, one of the female performers was balancing sticks. I know, I know... doesn't sound all that impressive because it wasn't like some high-flying act. But let me tell you, what she did was not easy. She was incredibly focused, and what made things feel more intense was her audible breathing. - Got to give it up for the male performers in the show too! They were just as great and brought in the balance of masculine energy. The main male character's pole dance segment was incredible! I also enjoyed the high energy acrobatic feats from the male performers on the see-saw. - The clowns were entertaining. They had great chemistry with each other, and it was fun watching their back and forth exchanges of love and kisses. read more

Fantastic show! I've seen several Cirque du Soleils - including a couple at the Mission Rock location - and this was definitely one of my favorites. Let's just say this was just the second show and a Monday, and the performers still slayed enough for a standing ovation! The story line was cheesy - shipwrecked dudes land on an island of powerful women/goddesses. One of the guys falls in love with the daughter of the goddess blah blah blah. BUT the lineup of powerful women - from the all-female rock band to the majority women acrobatic acts - was powerful, thrill-inducing and breathtaking! All of the acts impressed with some death-defying feats that had me screaming in fear at times. The comedy duo in between the performances was cute and entertaining. The costumes and set were amazing. One tip - the bathrooms are fancy port-a-potties and the drinks are hella expensive. Head across the street to Atwater Tavern and grab a reasonably-priced heavy pour and decent bathrooms during the 25-minute intermission. It was completely empty and we made it back in time for the second act! read more

We came here on opening night as part of my first 2019 Yelp Elite perk! The setup was nice and intimate beneath the grand chapiteau. Amaluna has a nice storyline and the show was spectacular. I found myself holding my breathe on several occasions with the incredible acrobatics. They also had a pretty funny couple of characters keep the audience entertained between sets. There were two intermissions so people had time to get beverages, purchase swag or hit the porta potty. It was very entertaining and the two hours just flew by!

Kooza: Outstanding show as you'd expect from a Cirque du Soleil production. The Grand Chapiteau (big tent) was cozy; section 200 row K near center stage had a great sightline. Restrooms were plentiful and modern (not cheap port-a-potties). read more

Thank you Yelp for this awesome Elite event. Me and the +1 had an amazing time. Now the circus (and yes, I know this isn't really a circus circus, but it's under the tent so forgive me) I remember going to as a kid was Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's. It had lions, elephants (did you know circus animals are not banned?), clowns, motorcycles, trapeze artists, and sawdust and poop, oh my. It was fun. But this . . . this not-a-circus circus entertained on a level I was not expecting. So neatly mixed in this artistic expression of live music, array of aerial performances, suspenseful balancing acts, and acrobats extraordinaire, is a story line filled with comedic breaks, fight scenes, and a conclusion (I was going to type "happy ending" but didn't want leave that to any kind of interpretation). Wowza. The biggest take away was how kid friendly the event was. First, I was surprised to see so many kids there. Then I was besides myself to see so many of them engaged in the show. I'm not sure I would have been as enthralled at that age, but it did get me thinking that maybe I should take my little one. Like I mentioned earlier, Cirque du Soleil Amaluna was amazing. Amazing show. Great venue. Electric atmosphere. Family friendly. Good fun. The thing is for all the times I go to Vegas and the gazillion times I've said, I gonna have to watch one of the Cirque du Soleil shows, this is my first one Cirque (and it happened to be in SF! of all places). And now I even more compelled to go to a Cirque in Vegas. Again, thank you Yelp. read more

My yelp friend gets free tickets and invited us to this shows which is absolutely amazing. And to my yelp friend if you are reading this, you are a truly amazing friend too. Why is this show so good? You just have to bring your girlfriend, boyfriend, little friend, old friends, kids friend, and all friends to watch it, then you will understand. To see is to believe. It's hard for me to write about it and it's easier for you to just go watch it. I felt everyone will have his or her own intakes on the show, ex: The kid behind me got scared & cried when a dozen of six packs guys all came out while my girl friends and I were giggling. It is a basic love story from the Wonder Women movie and turns into Disney kids-friendly version. And of course everyone can fly, jump, flip, dance with all kinds of cool cirque du soleil tricks. The plot is simple. A beautiful young princess falls in love with a handsome six packs intruder. I mean who doesn't love a six pack guy. And of course the handsome guy loves her back. To be honest, a young princess who can bend 180 degree, sorry correction, 360 degree is very...you know...cool. All princess' wonder women friends can do Olympic parallel bars with double flipping, but they disapproved this love. And then the handsome guy's six packs friends all came out to defend this love. And of course those guys can all flip & jump higher than wonder women do. Also the best part is the handsome guy chases the princess by "pole dancing" / "pole dropping" and he reaches the princess in return. Happy ending :-) I want a boyfriend that can do that too. PS. If you are bringing your kids, this is really more like walking on the pole than dancing with a pole if that makes any sense. Not PG-13 at all. Very kids friendly, trust me. Overall a great night of entertainment with good laugh. Highly recommended it!!! Tips one: I parked across the street from the Oracle Park. Plenty of parking. Normal price, not special event price. Tips two: bottled water is $6 each. You can bring an empty bottle and refill inside. Or you can pay $6 and ask for a special edition Amaluna water bottle. Tips three: only hot dogs and popcorns for snack choices. It's better to eat before or after the show. We ran to Dumpling Time right after the show. (It was no wait btw) Tips Four: $10 to upgrade your seats. It's up to you, but the tent is small enough and all seats are so close to the stages with clear view. It's not a Levi's Stadium per set you know, so It might not be necessary. Tips Five: yap, there are many free potable potties outside of the tent with strong water faucet and soap. But I bet people would pay $10 to use a real bathroom lol. read more

This was my first time watching a Cirque du Soleil show and throughout the show I couldn't help but think "damn, I really need to hit the gym....." The performers are extremely talented and are all gorgeous (the men especially.....swoon~). The story is based loosely on Shakespeare's "The Tempest" but even if you haven't read the original story (I haven't read it myself), you can still appreciate the show's story for what it is. The audience was a mix of all ages; the kids here especially enjoyed the slapstick-ish comedic bits throughout the show. I went cheap in terms of seat selection and got seat 5 in the back row of section 205. The seat location wasn't bad at all (the performers weren't ants!) though the seats in general aren't tiered well enough as I had some view troubles off to the side because someone tall was sitting in front of me lol more trouble for kids though. As I mentioned earlier, this was the first Cirque du Soleil show I've seen so I don't know how this show compares to the other ones, but to me this show was a joy to watch. I definitely recommend going to this one especially if you've never seen a Cirque du Soleil show! Food and drinks (non-alcoholic and alcoholic) are available but they all cost an arm and a leg, as expected. Water cups aren't available, but if you really need water you would have to buy a small canister and fill it up using the complimentary water dispensers (a.k.a. bring your own empty bottle). Restroom area consists of a row of porta potties. Parking at the lot is $35.....use public transportation if you can. read more

I love Cirque du Soleil shows, so when I heard there was a new one in town, I rushed to get tickets. If you've seen Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas like I have, AMALUNA might not meet your expectations. Shows in Las Vegas are grand, polished, and synchronized because performers perform everyday of the year and shows remain longstanding; I cannot say the same for AMALUNA. I think the performers can benefit from more practice to refine their performance. I understand that the show is new, but if people are paying hundreds of dollars to see the show, I think their performance should be more refined. I witnessed many drops and falls, jugglers that dropped their balls, and gymnasts that were shaking and not confident in their craft. All in all, great set and costumes. Perfect for a date night out or family outing! read more

Cirque du Soleil - View from seat E9 - Performing Arts Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was my first time seeing a Cirque du Soleil show and it certainly did not disappoint. I attended with my husband and my two children. I often worry when taking my kids to live shows if they will stay interested. They sat with their mouths gaping in awe and when intermission came all they wanted was the show to resume. There so many talented actors, acrobats, jugglers, clowns, etc that you never had a dull moment. Not to mention the incredible musicians and beautiful story line that went along with the show. There were so many times that while someone was performing I found myself holding my breath in awe. It is a show of beauty, wonder, amazement and music. I would recommend anyone to go see it and I want to go back. The outdoor amenities are far from your regular porta potties. These actually flush and do not smell. There are plenty of little shops to get your souvenirs and food stands to get snacks to enjoy during the show. read more

What an amazing display of talent - strength, flexibility, bravery and boldness, agility, beauty, grace- I can go on and on. I recently went to the show Volta when it was on SJ and it just didn't feel up to par with the Vegas level shows I've seen in the past. I was thoroughly impressed with the female powerhouse talent! My favorites were the bars routine and the guys doing fun tricks with the one girl walking and then flipping on their hands! So cool!! Of note: I organized a group event to go see this one through group sales which was pretty helpful. The box office here was also very friendly and accommodating. read more

The best part was that it was a dominant female cast! read more
