    Got Dad and his GF tickets for his birthday, they loved it.

    Wish I had got 4 tickets so we could have gone too.

    Yeah, not cheap but worth every penny. They put on a great show.

    I’ve seen Saltimbanco and Alegria.

    Both were astonishing, but Alegria was by far the better show.

    You need to see them at least once.

    Absolutely amazing visual and aural experience. Glad I’ve seen them.

    Saw them first whilst on holiday in Florida about 10 years ago. Since then have seen them a couple of times at Royal Albert Hall and once in Birmingham. Oh, flew to Vegas to watch Love, a C d S show inspired by songs by the Beatles!

    Have to say that their residential shows are way better than the touring ones, but the touring ones are still very good.

    Been a couple of times, both were excellent but I’m not sure I’d want to go again – they get repetitive. But if you’ve not been before they’re definitely worth the money.

    This has to be a first for STW. Everyone so far has enjoyed it!

    Been a few times. Well worth seeing, irrespective of the show you get to see.

    Went to see quidam (I think) at the Royal Albert Halls. Was thoroughly disappointed. Miles from the action at extortionately priced seats, and I only really enjoyed the one girl performer balancing on poles. The circus clowns bit I thought were just filling/padding out the show. I’m sure there was some arty farty story line involved but for me it was a load of overhyped crap.
    Incidentally whilst in London village we went to see war horse and stomp, both of which we thought beat CDC hands down on entertainment value

    I’ve seen Saltimbanco, Allegria and Quidam, all at the Albert Hall. All excellent, but I’m not sure I’d go again. Three times is enough. So if you’ve seen them fewer than three times, go.

    We’ve seen the LA NOUBA show 3 times at downtown Disney in Orlando . Expensive but worth every penny

    Saw Ka in Vegas. Excellent – especially when the entire stage flops up to vertical and performers drop the full height of it!

    Seen ‘o’ in Las Vegas, and I’ve never seen anything that matches the staging, and excitement of that. Also seen a couple of touring shows which are the next best thing.

    There is a small element of cheesy-ness to the proceedings, and the clowns can be a bore but some of the acts and acrobatics are incredible,of which I’ve never seen anything staged so well.

    Personally I think they make a nice change from less than talented live music performances that I find often disappointing.

    Definitely worth seeing and if you can afford it get the best seats you can as we’ve had one poor experience at the RAH being too far back and too high. I am a bit jaded havng seen them way back but the performers are amazing and the shows spectacularly staged. Whatever you’ve seen on tv seeing it love is stunning.

    Variable. They’re still touring some of their early shows in arenas which are less impressive, particularly if you’ve seen other modern circus acts. Format is usually some absolutely stunning acrobatics and the like, lots of padding out with unfunny clowns and artsy dancing about.

    If you’ve not been then probably worth doing once.
