    Hands down one of the top 5 best performance shows I have EVER seen in my life. I wasn't initially super excited to go because I heard mixed reviews about previous shows but I am so glad I decided to go! The show started at 8pm. I was in the area around 7:30 but quickly realized I would not make it by the start time in the traffic. If you're coming from 85 north into the city and get off at exit 84, just keep left. If you stay right and try to turn into Atlantic station, it will take you an hour or more with traffic. Keep left and then make a right on 10th st, and then a right on Northside, then a right on 16th st, left on village, right on 18th and take it to the end and make a left and you will be right in front of Atlantic Station valet or you can head down to self parking ! Sounds like a lot but I did all of that in literally 5-7 minutes and beat the traffic! Self parking can seem a little intimidating on a busy night like this but Atlantic Stations parking garage is huge so if you just breathe , you will find a space. We ended up being in line to get in around 7:50. We checked and went inside to get our seats but stopped at concessions first. Of course everything is overpriced and you can bring any outside food in. We purchased an adult size popcorn and a bottled water. $14!!!! Wow We had pretty good seats Door 1, Section 201, Row L, seats 9&10 We could see the entire stage clearly! There is no flash photography or videos but you are allowed to take pictures. The show itself is unexplainable and I won't give any spoilers but I promise you will be in awe, in shock , laughing your head off, smiling, crying and every emotion in between and at the end you will stand to your feet and give the performers a standing ovation that they deserve The stunts in this show are mind blowing. So many times in the show I found myself holding on to the edge of my chair afraid they would miss and time and time again they proved me wrong AMAZING SHOW!

    The location of this particular show was Atlantic station in Atlanta. It was really a fun spot. We've seen several Cirque du Soleil shows, and this one was good, but not my favorite. Why? When the individual performer came out in between acts, I thought it was a bit hokey and boring. But, the BMX element to the show was spectacular, and all of these performers are tremendous athletes very dedicated to their craft.. For me, the performance didn't seem to have a good flow. It was kind of all over the place. It seemed that everybody had a great time, and I was happy to go.

    I'm going to have to agree with the average rating. After seeing it a second time in a row within 1 year of my first Cirque Volta show with very close floor seats, I just feel it's hard to part with spending $130/person. If they had charged us $20 to park like they did in Tampa, FL I'd undoubtedly give them 2 stars instead, but we parked in a nearby garage and only paid $4-$6 since it charges per hour & was a 2 hr. showing with a 25 min. intermission. I regret getting a $15 glass of Prosecco that tasted flat, only took one sip before taking the pic. shown - very, very disappointed. My friend paid same amount for popcorn and Pepsi - prices are insane! You should just forgo their concessions altogether! I felt the show wasn't as electrifying compared to when I saw them in Tampa, FL & it doesn't flow well from one act to another to be honest - still entertaining. There were still a lot of awe inspiring parts of the show that included: *Hoop Magic: Mesmerized by the 4 hoops stacked on top of each other that rotates while acrobats jump through them backwards! *Jump Roping: They moved their feet so fast & also did handstands, too! *Trampoline Act: Splits & insane somersaults! *BMX: Bikes flying in the air in every direction with lots of tricks!

    So to start this is my first Cirque du Soleil show and it was very good! I went with my boyfriend and his family who are all very much into Cirque du Soleil and have seen every show in the last 10 years. Volta, showing in a tent in Atlantic Station, was a great first show! We attended a 1:30pm show on a Sunday. It was a good amount of people. The show started promptly. Seats are a bit tight but I was surrounded by people I'm comfortable with elbowing so be aware. As for the show itself, I really appreciated the athleticism and art of it all. Very beautifully done. I think some of the solo acts were a bit too abstract specifically the clown solo act who struggled to convey his mimes and storyline but overall it was a great show and I would definitely recommend checking it out while it's here!

    The show kept being interrupted because the tent was leaking on us and the stage. they made us exit 30mins after it started

    Cirque du so lame! Totally not worth it. The seats are "kid size" - we felt like sardines in a cold sauna. The tent was leaking on us. They started having "technical difficulties " 30mins in; the show stopped and they made us exit the tent. When the show resumed, the performers kept falling because the stage was wet. And they cut the show early because the tent wouldn't stop leaking and the stage kept getting wet. If the producers can't afford a decent tent, they should cancel the show and not put the performers in jeopardy. #iwantmymoneyback

    Had an amazing time, zero complaints the show was breathtaking! Didnt have any trouble finding our seats or getting there.

    Cirque du So, ummmmmm My family and I attended the 5pm, December 22nd Cirque show next to Atlantic Station. We were all very excited as we've seen the Beatles Love show several times in Vegas and always came away amazed that the acrobats could even be human. We arrived in the cold, driving rain to wait in a line, in the rain, because there was only a 20' x 20' tent utilized to check baggage, scan tickets, etc. Not a great beginning, but we still were optimistic. We heard about the ridiculously priced concessions ($8 popcorn, etc) so planned on having dinner after the show. We were able to enter the "big top" around 4:30pm to get situated for the show. The beginning was a bit goofy with a gold sequined entertainer having fun with the audience. Not my thing, but many were enjoying the pre-show show. The show started with Mr. WOW displaying several entertainers performing juggling, dancing and double dutch. I felt as if, with a few beers, I could have danced better than the dancer, and the juggler, did I just spend $550 on 4 tickets (including the ludicrous service fee) to see juggling? Anyway, the show was underwhelming and we got the sense that something just wasn't right. There was an acrobat on roller skates that face planted hard on the stage, NOT part of the show. There was also a significant amount of communication going on between the acrobats / entertainers that did not seem appropriate. A chandelier was lowered at center stage, an acrobat grabbed onto it, spun around a couple times, and walked off the stage. A few minutes later they announced there was a delay in the show and they would resume as soon as possible. After hearing that announcement a few times, the announcer advised all to vacate the "big top". So, I'm thinking, maybe they just didn't sell enough concessions, let's interrupt the show, get these morons out into the concession area and rack up some more high margin concession sales, wooohoooo!! Well, about 30 minutes later, they let us back in. The show continued to be a head scratcher. I have no idea what relevance to a Cirque show a skit with washing machines in it has, but I went along with it. The comedy was slapstick, anyone under 6 years old really dug it. Most of the adults in the room had the old WTF look on their faces. A short time later they actually announced the 25 minute intermission. Huh? We were just in the concession area for 30 minutes, not 15 minutes before! The show didn't resume for 35 minutes, the crowd was getting restless. There was clapping in unison, the crowd actually started a Wave just to entertain ourselves. I'm attaching a video of the Wave at my $550 Cirque show, but it may not upload. Trust me, it was one of the highlights of the show. This was one dedicated Wave crowd! Ok, so, no unicycle act, no chandelier act, most of the artists were having a lot of conversations back and forth, there was an awful lot of stage hands wiping down the stage. Hey, wait, it was raining. It then became obvious the "technical difficulties" were actually their leaky tent allowing rain to puddle on the stage. If I was performing on that slick stage, I'd be a little reluctant as well. There was an act in which a woman was hoisted into the air by her hair, that was more along the lines of our expectations. My 9 year old son was really looking forward to the BMX riders. Well, got about 1-1/2 minutes of BMX riding and noticed just about every rider refusing to ride. The stage hands, cast members, everyone, was trying feverishly to dry the stage. Shortly after that time everyone came out and the show was over. So, in a total of 3 hours, we got maybe 10 minutes of solid entertainment. We were so completely disappointed. Especially since we live 90 minutes from the venue. I contacted customer service for Cirque. Even though the show was a complete disaster from start to finish, due wholly to the fact their equipment could not keep rain from entering the facility, they are refusing to refund any portion of our tickets. I was advised they will make a note on my account and we could see any Cirque show we would like, at any time. I asked if we could see Cirque du Soleil's Beatle's Love Show in Vegas. To which the man said, "Oh, no, not that one." "You can only see one of the "Big Top" shows. "Where are those?", I asked. "Austin, Chicago, Miami, Washington..." Well isn't that swell. I completely understand when circumstances present themselves resulting in disasters. In that case, your customers should be made whole. In my opinion, Cirque should proactively refund every ticket for that night's performance. However, at the very least, they should refund those that request it. In addition, the fact they provided absolutely no information regarding the issues was inexcusable. Unfortunately I will never give the "Big Top" Cirque another chance.

    Standard seat on the right. About 14" wide set up in a circular pattern. Probably allows for 11" of seating.

This…read morejust might be my favorite concert venue that I've ever been to for a more intimate show! I loved the layout of the theater, where it seemed like all seats were good seats. They had both floor tickets where it was standing room and then seating that looked kind of like colosseum or stadium seating. Although they had this seating, the place still felt intimate and really added to the ambiance of the concert. I also loved the layout of the lobby area where there were different entry points and a good space for the vendors to sell tour merch and several areas where they had mirrors that gave great photo ops or an area to check your outfit.

As someone who has acted before, I can say the issues we experienced were more on the production company than the venue itself. The main problem? Smoke. So much smoke. It was hard to breathe, my eyes were watering, and I'm a pretty tough guy--but my fiancée was really suffering. When I called to request a refund, I learned it wasn't just us. If you're going to use a fog machine, you need to disclose it ahead of time, especially for children, people with respiratory issues, or anyone sensitive to it. On top of that, there was a child crying during the performance. Instead of quietly and discreetly taking them outside, staff tried to address it in the middle of the show, which was distracting for everyone. That said, I do want to thank the venue for working with us to get a refund. The space itself is nice, and I'm open to returning for other productions in the future. Just a heads-up--the seating is very intimate, so be prepared to be close to your neighbors.

    My wife and I loved ECHO!!!…read more We had been to a couple of their previous shows under the blue and white tent at Atlantic Station. And it's hard to compare. ECHO seemed more back to basics -- less gimmicks. The big change was that wee sat on the second row. The performers were literally near enough to touch. Wow. The show is great. The acts: jugglers, acrobats, gymnasts, slack line artists, clowns, catapult jumpers, trapeze artists, you name it -- are absolutely wonderful. A sense of wonderment comes over you as if you are a child again. The sound system is terrific and the live musicians and vocalists are impressive. The seats are a bit tight but perfectly fine for the duration of the show. Food is of course expensive as are all of the momentos for purchase. But you're at the most fabulous circus you've ever seen. My only complaint -- and it's out of the control of Cirque -- is exiting the Atlantic Station parking garage. Very slow. The stations to pay the parking fees didn't work so people had to pay one at a time at the actual exit. Miami, ECHO opens there February 22. Don't miss it.

    It's about time for an updated review. I've come here many times over the years, bc I love the wit…read moreand random humor that comes from Improv. This place is certainly a must visit! I came here with my best friends to celebrate my birthday, my friend's birthday, my other friends newly published devotional and my other friend's promotion at work. This was probably my 4th time here. Parking is behind the building and they have a ton of spots with gravel parking and paved (directions might lead you to the front). The lobby has two rooms, with comfy seating, restrooms, bar (beer and wine), ticket area and a place to take group photos. Things have changed on seating here due to Covid but for the better. You can now buy a table for two, table for 4 and VIP seating. Cost ranges from $70-$90, but comes out to about $20-$45/person. Any table purchase you make comes with all the tickets. Most shows are about an hour and a half long, with one intermission for you to use the bathroom or grab drinks. A majority of the improv depends on participation from the audience, so be ready to give direction on what the skit will be like. One of the best portions of the show was when my friend Keni got asked about her Hot Air Balloon she did recently, and the Improv Actors did a "fortunately, unfortunately" sketch on it. One of the funniest things I've seen. It's always a great time when you go, and you're going to get something fairly new and unexpected every time. Some actors are much more entertaining too, as they can create comedy out of thin air. They also hold Improv classes for adults and work with children too (the host mentioned something Nickelodeon themed). Highly recommend! This was purely a friends outing, but this spot is perfect for dates too or any type of celebration.

There was also a bucket next to a question for written answers. Once the show started, saw some improv games I've never seen before, actors / actresses were pretty good.
