Love the Cirque de Soleil. I've been to a few and Iris is one of my favorites. The location is great because you can have lunch or dinner before or after the show. I like that its not in a tent like the other cirques I've been to. There's plenty to see and do after the show in the surrounding...

If IRIS returns to the stage then you may find this helpful!
The Cirque have not enjoyed total success in travelling theatre/arena shows - as opposed to their tent and fixed theatre shows - particularly for shows that started like in a tent - eg, Saltimbanco. But - IRIS is a departure from that - maybe because of the venue...

Iris was a disappointment. The story line got lost and to suggest kinky sex was out of line. The dancers and gymnasts were superb though. They should try again with a better plan.

This was my first time at the Cirque du soleil at The Highland mall. I have to say that I was absolutely stunned by the grace, elegance and charm of the artistes. The setting is the beautiful Dolby theater, one of the best theaters in the world. Tickets are frequently discounted and any seat is good in the theater, though...

So sad this show had to end. It was an awesome show! My favorite two dance numbers were the film strip dance number (the timing was incredible) and the movie set dance number. It was definitely an over-the-stop, state-of-the-art show. It was too bad that they didn't meet their ticket quota.

Well, I went to it's pre-show show with an escorted walk behind the scenes on the stage and back stage. The show was very artistic and entertaining. Cirque du Soleil never disappoints me. It's always memorable and I still remember the many sets in my mind. So, go if you have time. It's interesting.

I was fortunate to see IRIS last summer with my family of five. This was my first cirque show and I was not disappointed! I loved everything about it- the atmosphere, the music, the performers- it was all amazing!
