Written on Feb 28 2011Oveall all a very good Cirque show. I've never been to a traveling one and I was really impressed by the set up. The performers were lovely even though some parts dragged on a bit too long. It wasn't as great as O or La Nouba but still a great experience for the price!
Written on Jan 31 2011It's hard to pick a favorite part of this show. It was incredible - very creative use of the limited space (it was in a tent), amazing acrobatics, and stunning costumes. Highly recommended!
Written on Dec 13 2010Unbelievable production. Great seats. Amazing artistic vision and jaw-dropping individual performances. My family is still talking about some parts. One of the best performances I have seen. There is nothing else like Cirque du Soleil. They continue to hit it out of the park.
Written on Nov 23 2010You will never be dissapointed with any Cirque du Soleil show...If you havent been you are absolutely missing out. My jaw is dropped for half the show...pure entertainment.
Written on Sep 22 2010This show was amazing and shouldn't be missed!
Written on Sep 21 2010we got seats on the very last row, even though we didn't buy the cheapest tickets. However I have to admit that most of the show our view wasn't obstructed. The show itself was OK: costumes were interesting some of the things happening on stage were impressive, but overall show was a bit boring. It was my first time viewing Cirque du Soleil and I expected much more from them....
Written on Sep 10 2010Beautiful performance, stage and costumes. Amazing acts/stunts and a fun show for all ages.
Written on Sep 01 2010Amazing acrobatics and juggling. Story line was weak and trapeze artists were ho-hum, but the show was entertaining overall and was downright captivating much of the time. This was my first Cirque du Soleil show and I would see another one, but only at a similarly discounted price.
Written on Sep 01 2010This was my third Cirque du Soleil show, and it was fantastic! I didn't buy parking in advance, and just parked at one of the seaport-area lots -- which proved to be a wise choice, as there was a long line of cars waiting to enter the pre-paid lot.
Written on Aug 31 2010It was a great show, decent seats, section 204 row R, could see everything. Costumes, decorations, music, performances -all spectacular! It's a great family show.
Written on Aug 31 2010As always Cirque du Soleil delivered! It was an awesome show for kids and adults. Took my 13 yr old niece and she was laughing and smiling throughout the show.
Aside from the rude late-comers blocking our view at times, it was a nice show. The staff letting the people in late, should wait until intermission (it was their own fault that they are late and we shouldn't be penalized from it!).
Written on Aug 31 2010Outstanding. One of Cirque's best that we have seen. We've seen 4-5.
Breathtaking: Every event was kicked up several notches for us.
Written on Aug 31 2010The show was really lovely. The characters were sweet and really embodied the buggy nature of the show. The individual acts were pretty amazing.
We got there a little later than expected (7:30 rather than 7p) and got back of the house will call tickets (i mean absolute last row in the back). There was one really big obstruction in our way (holding up the tent), but I what can you expect from will call I guess...
Written on Aug 31 2010This was by far the most amazing show I have ever seen. The CREATIVITY, the talent of the performers, the music and the color. It was worth every penny to see this performance of a lifetime.
Caveat- It was a very hot day and I was worried about the temp inside a tent. Almost wish I brought a sweater, but better too cool than too hot. The only downside was our seats were located right in front of the air conditioning compressors and the noise they generated made some of the show hard to hear. Even though it was theater seating, I had a difficult time seeing over the extremely large person in front of me.
I would go to see this show again and highly recommend. If possible, look into where you are going to be seated before you purchase your tickets.
Written on Aug 30 2010show was good but everyone in my group of 3 had a view that was blocked at times due to wide scaffolding. it would have been nice to know in advance that the seats had a blocked view.
Written on Aug 30 2010Never disappoints and always surprises! I can't pick a favorite act because there were so many. You can't help but leave this show energized and with a grin on your face. Must see.
Written on Aug 30 2010Absolutely terrific! We loved the performance but would have preferred more play to the sides at least on occasion.
Written on Aug 30 2010The show was really good. it started slow, but it ended really well. really enjoyed it, and i would recommended to others.
Written on Aug 30 2010Exceptional show - first time we saw Cirque...definitely would go to more
Written on Aug 30 2010It definitely was not the best Cirque show I've ever seen, but still awesome. Ovo was geared more for children, but still amazing performances throughout. My only complaint is that we were issued the absolute worst seats in the venue, the end seats in the upper corner of the stage, behind a giant pole... you get what you pay for I guess.
Written on Aug 30 2010Cirque du Soleil is always magical. I found this show to be slightly less mesmerizing than some of their other shows. Although the trampoline routine in the second act couldn't be beat - could have watched that for hours.
Written on Aug 30 2010We usually love the Cirque d'Soliel shows. We have seen 4 shows. We were very disappointed in this show compared to their "O" water show and the Cavalia. There was too much "clown" time and only a few acts which were very good. They are capable of a much more spectacular show.
Written on Aug 30 2010The show was entertaining based on the little I saw and heard of it. I was given the absolutely worst seats in the house. Behind a pole, in the direct glare of spotlights. There was an air conditioning unit outside the tent directly behind us so couldn't hear well either. This is the first and last time I buy tickets through Goldstar.
Written on Aug 30 2010The show was breathtaking. The costumes were phenomenal, and the talent was absolutely unbelievable. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed that people were able to perform like that and contort themselves the way they did. I think there is universal appeal to this show. Young, old, male, female and everyone inbetween would LOVE this show!
Written on Aug 30 2010the show was fabulous and the staff very organized , the seat were OK you are seated near top row and with a side view only. would have enjoyed it more with middle or front facing seats with out a pole if front of our face, don't buy water there you can bring your own a they don't search you or make you throw it out.And yes the soda is 6.00 for a large and beer was 7.50 and forget about a t shirt or other memorabilia 45.00-100.00 crazy!
Written on Aug 30 2010The show was amazing. Our seat did not have a full view of the stage blocked by a pole so we couldn't see some of the wall jumps and
Written on Aug 30 2010Beautiful and unbelievable gymnastics except for 15 minutes out of the 2 hour show. After the intermission there was a 15 minute segment that was very boring. They could have filled this time with simple gymnastic trick and acrobats rather than spoiling the show. It could have been a PERFECT show if it wasn't for the 15 minutes.
Written on Aug 30 2010Fabulous!!!!!
Written on Aug 30 2010half the performers were props (just dancing around). the circus part was okay. some parts were somewhat musical/theatrical.
Written on Aug 30 2010The event was great. However, our seats were right in front of the fans....Loud. It was hard to hear the show.
Written on Aug 30 2010The performance was fantastic but the seats we had were terrible. We were in front of one of the poles holding up the tent so we had a blocked view. We we in the next to last row so the generator for the air conditioning was right behind us and was very noisy. The accoustics in our area were also poor. I am glad I did not pay full price.
Written on Aug 30 2010AWESOME show. Could have been shorter if there weren't so many time fillers in between the real acts. But we loved it. Very nice venue location.
Written on Aug 30 2010Loved it indeed! One of the best Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen and would love to go back. Great for all ages.
Written on Aug 30 2010It was great!!!
Written on Aug 30 2010Really a terrific value....one of the best Cirque d Soleil shows that I have seen. Costumes are terrific and all the acts superb.
Written on Aug 29 2010Absolutely Fantastic!! perfect for all ages
Written on Aug 29 2010I've seen various shows before. I liked this one, but felt it was less "action packed" than others. Some of the attempts at providing a story line were too drawn out.
The seats were way up in the back rows, they were ok but the air conditioner was on full blast and made hearing very difficult.
Written on Aug 28 2010The best act was at the end at which point we couldn't see because all the light supports were blocking our view. We were in the 204 Door 6 section - seats S18/19.
The other problem was that we were sitting right in front of the ac fan units and they were VERY LOUD and it was FREEZING on our necks and backs.
Written on Aug 27 2010I am amazed by the talent!!! This was a great show. The seats were very good too.
Written on Aug 27 2010I would recommend this show in a heartbeat! I agree with other comments that some of the 'filler' stuff was a bit long and boring, but you need to remember that there's probably a lot of setup that goes on for the acts. The acrobatics were amazing! The little guy riding a bike upside down suspended 25' above the ground, on a tight-rope, was incredible. And the ending with the tramoplines and wall act was unlike anything I've seen.
Yeah, the seats were in the back row. So what. For such a discounted price, it was absolutely worth it! Get a ticket before the show is gone!
Written on Aug 27 2010The show was fabulous, especially the crickets jumping on the wall. Amazing! Our seats, however, were less than fabulous. Up in Row S, right next to the compressors for the AC, it was hard to hear the softer parts of the show over the constant roar of the AC.
Written on Aug 27 2010Great show!
Written on Aug 27 2010it was amazing and magical. Couldn't have asked for more.
Written on Aug 27 2010OVO was a absolute blast !!! Great show first Cirque du Soleil show, but definitely wont be our last!!
Written on Aug 27 2010Just one word to describe it "MESMERIZING"
Written on Aug 27 2010Amazing!
Written on Aug 26 2010Thank you, Gold Star, for the wonderful deal AND the opportunity to see a great show in "Ovo". As the performance was held under "The Big Top", virtually every seat in the house was up close and personal. Our tickets were $30 each, and it was truly a show not to be missed! Had a wonderful evening on Fan Pier last night.
Written on Aug 26 2010Amazing show and performers. Lots of fun for all ages. Some of the effect was lost because the seats weren't great
Written on Aug 26 2010I didn't have any expectations before going to this. 3 or 4 acts were amazing and the rest are good though. Overall a very unique show - mix of acrobatics, story telling and comedy. I loved the experience.
Written on Aug 26 2010We were seated in section 204 (Level 2), directly side-on view. The only thing we couldn't see at all was the action at the very center of the rock wall. A/C noise was not an issue, perhaps because it was cool. The acting scenes were pretty obvious and tended toward tedium but the acrobatics were amazing as always. I think a front view would have made it easier to see some of the acrobatic maneuvers. Most of them rotate so that everyone can see but not everything can be done that way.
Written on Aug 25 2010I felt that the main acts were spectatacular. However I felt that the entre-acts were a bit sophomoric and slap-stick.
Written on Aug 24 2010Wonderful show, colorful, powerful, creative, talented performers and most were outstanding and amazing. I would highly recommend it. Can't imagine using the portapotties in the rain, maybe undercover in the future. We sat in section 2 on the left at the top and liked the view, could see everything fine. I did not like when they used a spray bottle to try to kill the foreigner bug and he felt high, not a good thing with kids in the audience to see and then see that he was feeling good from the spray can. I would take that part out. Was looking for something or one to come out of the egg at the end...sort of left up in the air. Otherwise a wonderful show. Would like to see another one.
Written on Aug 24 2010Awesome show, cirque du soleil is always a guarantee for expectacular.
Amazing and fun!
Written on Aug 23 2010It was our first time to a Cirque du Soleil show and now I want to see them all! The lighting & music supported the continuous flow of the dancers movements, not to forget spectacular costumes.We loved every minute of the show. The food and drinks were pricey, especially for a family.
Written on Aug 23 2010show was outstanding, seats provided through Goldstar were horrible.
I would not recommend using them for any events
Written on Aug 23 2010It was fabulous! It was exciting for the whole family. The tent was FREEZING, that was my only objection.
Written on Aug 23 2010We loved it! Our view looked at the side of the stage, but the show was designed so that all angles could see the performances well. Highly recommended!
Written on Aug 21 2010worth every cent, not to be missed, make the time to see it, this is one you will remember
Written on Aug 21 2010Fantastic! You will be mezmorized!
Written on Aug 21 2010It was incredible [ the costumes, lighting, set, and mind-boggling acrobatics. Not your average circus!
Written on Aug 20 2010These shows are out of this world, don't know how these people do all they do & they are so good at it. Would tell everyone to plan on going.
GREAT family fun!!!
Written on Aug 20 2010It was one of the most creative performances I have ever seen. Excellent!!!
Written on Aug 20 2010Awesome! The acts, the music, the costumes - the whole bug theme, just fantastic!
Written on Aug 20 2010Performance = 5*
I was wide-eyed the ENTIRE timeReason for the 4* = we were sat in the very last row, right next to the AC unit. It was a bit loud and we, along with everyone around us, froze the entire time.
Written on Aug 20 2010My first time to the show and was amazing. Me, who is not that easily wow-ed, was apploading and wow-ing may times throughout.
The tickets were great for the price paid:)
Written on Aug 19 2010If you want to see something exciting that you have never seen before, go see this!
Written on Aug 19 2010Show was amazing! I personally thought this show focused more on the story and choreography, maybe with less ridiculous stunts from previous shows I have seen. Still amazing!
Written on Aug 19 2010Amazing, beautiful show. Our seats were assigned pretty far back in the section, but seating is raised so you can still see everything on stage really well. Highly recommend it.
Written on Aug 19 2010There are no words to truly express how amazing the show was. It was just so surreal and so beautiful. It was as if we had entered another world. I was blown away the enitre show and did not want it to end. Even the humor was well recieved. The talent all around was spectacular. The singer was angelic, the acrobats were powerful, yet graceful. The contortion was unbeliveable, and the music was so enchanting. I was like a kid in a candy store. Cannot wait to see more Cirque Du Soleil productions. Extremely Reccomended and so worth it.
Written on Aug 18 2010I am a HUGE Cirque du Soleil fan. I have see more than a few shows prior to OVO, and each was phenomenal! This show was good, but not great. I have been conditioned to expect to be WOW'ed during the entire performance of any Cirque du Soleil show. It did not happen with OVO. There were many great moments, but many lulls as well. Overall, OVO did did not live up to the level of excellence typically demanded of founder Guy Liberte.
Written on Aug 18 2010Not my favorite Cirque show but still a lot of fun. Tickets were in the back row off to one side but we still had a good view of the show.
Written on Aug 18 2010Excellent show - I went with my wife and we both loved it! The seats available are very good for the price - get section 2, I think section 3 would be a little too tucked away...and enjoy the show!
Written on Aug 18 2010Excellent show !...for all audience ages. Amazing shows and funny to boot. You'll be awed amazed and will laugh as the MCs engage the audience. Bug theme is great for kids. Not your ordinary run of the mill circus. Very entertaining. Glad we went for the hugely discounted price from GoldStar at a more economical rate for our family of 5. 30 minute intermission was just right to see the items for sale in the lobby area and buy refreshments.
Written on Aug 18 2010This was a pretty cool show and not like a standars circus. I recommend any one to visit it. Its dancing, singing, acrobats - all nine yards but without boring circus which is mostly made for the kids. Adults can enjoy this show as well
Written on Aug 18 2010The event was great! The only negatives were because it was in the tent, which meant some things were not always 100% visible..but that is to be expected. And it's even more impressive that this show goes on the road!
The "fluff" in between some of the main acts was cheesy at points, but still entertaining.
Overall, it's spectacluar! You can't really describe all the cool aspects, you just have to see it for youself!
Written on Aug 18 2010This is so uch fun! It's hard to believe the human body can do all this!
Written on Aug 18 2010Great show - from start to finish! and they really saved the best for last. We particularly liked those trampoline/wallclimbing dudes, and the choreography/lighting was stunning (bringing in all the previous performers was very clever!). The trapeze team was riveting as well, and the 6 Asian young women (girls?) were incredibly cute. The black widow had my wife (a former dancer and current yoga enthusiaist) wincing from the positions! Best clown bits I've seen, and the audience participation part was superb. Highly recommended!
Written on Aug 18 2010It was amazing performance. I recommend it to everyone.
Written on Aug 18 2010Easy to access location. Great show....colorful, upbeat, stunning performances.
Welcoming, upbeat staff...
Written on Aug 18 2010I was blown away with this show - my first experience seeing a Cirque du Soleil performance. What amazing acrobatics, costumes, music ... loved every minute of it.
Written on Aug 18 2010Great show, great price, thanks Goldstar.
Written on Aug 18 2010The content of the show was good. The acrobats were good. There were a ton of fillers, it could of been cut down. The Goldstar seats are not good. They were right in front of the air conditioning unit. It was very loud and affected the show. I didn't realize how much until we moved out seats and could hear the speakers. The sound was fantastic when away from the a/c unit. Also they are on the side and there were poles and other stuff in the way. I had a 5 yr old with me and the noise of the a/c unit and the view made it very difficult for her to catch the show. I would suggest if you are taking anyone under 10 to get better seats. I was a bit concerned with the bathrooms. They are trailers with 6 or so stalls. The doors in the front of the stall are top to bottom. The walls inside are not and it was co-ed. There was a foot or so on the top and bottom. We had a 5 & 9 yr old girls with us and with the lines it was impossible to be in the stalls on both sides of the girls. It was also impossible to know who was in the stalls on either sides of the little girls. Just not comfortable with that. Overall the show was very good. It was not Vegas Cirque but I don't like to compare the two as those shows don't move. I would of been VERY upset if I had paid full price for those seats as they were not worth full price and I wont buy the Goldstar seats for Cirque shows in the future either. Or if I do I will upgrade to the next level.
Written on Aug 17 2010great show, very fast paced and entertaining for all ages
Written on Aug 17 2010Loved this show - so entertaining. The performers are incredible. Highly recommend !!!
Written on Aug 17 2010AMAZING! I had gotten the tickets and my boyfriend was seriously skeptical, he thought it was fantastic! Definitely worth it and saved so much with GoldStar. tHANKS.
Written on Aug 17 2010was fun, funny & fantastic!
Written on Aug 17 2010I was unhappy with the seats that I received from Goldstar. They were in the last row and off to the side. I paid the highest amount offered for these seats and they were the woirst in the house. I am not sure I would buy tickets from Goldstar again.

Written on Aug 17 2010The performance was tremendous. Very prompt, well-managed, and fun. The performers were awesome! The fire ant tumblers had astonishing synchronicity! And I didn't expect to laugh so much. All in all, a great time.
These seats were in the very last row. And they were not the cheaper option on the Goldstar site. Can't really imagine where the REALLY cheap seats were??!! But with this set-up, there aren't really any bad seats, it's in the round, and unless you spend a fortune, virtually all seats are obstructed by a pole or two. I would recommend bringing binoculars if you really want to get the detailed splendor of the performance, but then again I bring binoculars no matter where I sit.
Written on Aug 17 2010This was a fun night out. Parking across the street was $13, easy in and out. We arrived a little late (6:30) so eating before the show was tough. Long lines and waits everywhere. We grabbed a slice of pizza at Salvatore's take out window. There is some food inside but don't know how good it is. Seats were as expected based on everyone else's reviews. Back row in front of AC. I would buy them again over the more expensive front row seats any day! Not quite up to Vegas Cirque du Soleil standards but still very enjoyable to watch. Some amazing talent! The tight rope walker did fall, but quickly regrouped. Overall, a fun night out!
Written on Aug 17 2010A great show as usual. Cirque is always imaginative, exciting, and fun to watch. A little weird at times, but truly amazing job by the performers.
Fairly disappointed with the seats this time which is unusual for goldstar - considering we purchased tickets to an off night months in advance, one would think we wouldn't be in the very last row with a pole blocking the front of the stage. But it is what you expect buying discount tickets I suppose. Highly recommend the show. Hope you get better seats than we did.
Written on Aug 15 2010I bought seats from this website for this show and they were horrible!!! They don't tell you your seats unil 1 hour prior to the show so there is nothing you can do. I bought the supposed $70 seats for $42 and we were given obstructed view seats. My husband and I were behing a huge obstruction with rigging equipment and men working on this throughout the show (very distracting and ruined the show). This website is a complete scam. When I complained, they gave me a credit of $5! Who are they kidding? I would highly recommend NOT buying any tickets from this website.
The show was good-what I could see of it.
Written on Aug 13 2010I have seen shows on TV, but this is absolutely awe inspiring!
Written on Aug 13 2010Had section 203 Row Q (third row from the back) for Wednesday Aug 11th 8:00 PM. Seats were very good with the only obstruction being the stantion blocking the center of the climbing wall. We were near the blowers but did not notice the noise others complained about. We have never seen Cirque du Soleil so we do not have any comparisons but I don't understand the 5 star reviews. The show was very good but not great other than the climbing wall and the kiwi balancing act which were spectacular. The rest seemed like typical circus acts. Will call had no line at 7:15 PM, parking directly across from the venue for $12 and we were out of the parking lot within 10 minutes. Would do this again but only with a Goldstar discount. Definitely would not pay full price. Also be prepared to open your wallet if you want to buy any food/drink.
Written on Aug 13 2010Set outside at the Fan Pier, nicer larger portable bathrooms are exposed to the elements and sinks are located out on the side except for the single handicap accessible one I spotted outside the entrance. (just a head's up in case it rains)
The show itself was great, with only a few parts obscured by the tent poles - we were seated at Level 2 seats. The 30 minute break in the middle was necessary due to the long bathroom lines as well as to allow for the set up of the stage for the first act of the 2nd half. I thought it was delightful how they decorated the drums of the 6 young ladies as kiwi slices and corn on the cobs since all the performers were supposedly insects. I also especially enjoyed the trampoline act in the 2nd half.
Picking up the passes at the ticket booth was super easy. No arm rests, but the seats were comfy and roomy enough. The air was pretty cool inside - better to keep the performers cool, I guess - bring a sweater if you chill easy.
This was my first Cirque du Soleil show, and I appreciate the opportunity to see it at 40% off... thanks Goldstar!
Written on Aug 12 2010I have been to several Cirque du Soleil shows. Love it more every time I go....
Written on Aug 12 2010The show was quite entertaining with great acrobatics and juggling acts. The clown and story fillers were so so. The staging, costumes and props were wonderful.
We sat in section 203 ( slightly on the side), in a last row and on the positive side the seating was quite sufficient to see most acts except when the lights blinded us and during the trampoline and when the back wall were used for acrobatics. On the negative side there was a very noisy ventilating system right behind us which often drowned other sound effects.
We were very happy to use Goldstar reduced tix despite the above drawbacks.
Written on Aug 12 2010Fabulous show from start to finish! Unbelievable that human bodies can do the things that these various acts did. The show is 2 hours with a 30 minute break and mesmorizing throughout. The seats were in the last row, however there was only one act that was difficult to see in the beginning only! Well worth it compared to the $200 seats down front. It was an extraordinary show- would go again tonight.
Written on Aug 12 2010Three of us bought tickets and thought it was a great show. I have seen several of Cirque's shows and including "0" which is the best of all the shows.
We had top row seats but could see the whole show.
Written on Aug 12 2010Cirque du soleil as amazing as ever. Unfortunatly our tickets as expensive as the were(we purchase level 2) had an obstructed view so we could no enjoy all the event.
Written on Aug 12 2010Seats were very average for what was dubbed "Level 2" in row R, 9-12. Would have liked lower rows or more oblique to stage. Head-on seats are worth the extra $$$

Description
OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.
When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.
It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.
OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.
