Lively, Heartwarming Musical Oliver! at Drury Lane Theatre

Full Price:
$35.00 - $49.00
Our Price:
$17.50 - $24.50

Based on Dickens' beloved character from the novel Oliver Twist, this boisterous musical follows young orphan Oliver from the dreary surroundings of a workhouse to the streets of Victorian London, where he unwittingly falls in with a gang of pickpockets. Featuring memorable songs like "Food, Glorious Food," "Consider Yourself," "Where Is Love?" and "As Long as He Needs Me," the endearing tale tackles relatable themes: the search for love, the triumph of right over wrong, the hope for a better world, and the belief that life is worth living. Oliver! premiered in London's West End in 1960, debuted on Broadway in 1963, and was made into a musical film in 1968. Learn More

I've seen several Cirque du Soleil shows and this one was just "ok" for me. I thought some of the humor was inappropriate for children and at one point it seemed as though my head would explode from sensory overload. Overall, I'm glad I got to see it before it closed!!

Although the theme of the event was "A Journey Through the World of Cinema" there was a little too much mutlimedia cinema and too little of the actual acrobatics that have made Cirque so famous.
Great peformances...the show needed more of that.

We have been to other Cirque du Soleil Shows in the past. We were looking for a fabulous evening and instead were bored and dissappointed at Iris! It was disjointed, the story line suffered and lengthy and awkward gaps between acts were terrible!

Great seats! This is my first Cirque show. I really enjoyed it. Great acrobatics, I love how they use digital imagery throughout the show. TIP::You can park on the street, free parking at the meters after 8 PM. Only Pay one hour, and the rest is free! They take credit cards too. The show starts at about 15 minutes past, the drinks weren't too strong but just OK.

This was the fourth "Cirque du Soleil" show I saw. The only one staged in a theater and the only (planned to be) permanent. Very different from the others shows. Less true circus acts, and more show. Very complex staging, somewhat overwhelming and making it difficult to watch ALL of what's happening on stage. Very creative use of shadows theater, videos and photographs. The setting in the beautiful Dolby theater was perfect for the movie theme. Loved the use of multiple depths of scenery and film strips. Much shorter show than the others I saw.

Cirque du Soleil is always really good. Lots to see... often WAY TOO MUCH going on. There were points in the show I wasn't sure where to look.

Careful where you get your seats too. Some make it really hard to see stage.

This show used to blow me away with the visuals and audio - a 2.5hrs show with an intermission, now it had been reduced to a 1.5hrs show without an intermission! A lot of the acts were cut back... I heard it's because one of the members retired and they don't bother to recast... well, in their defense they're closing for good on Jan 19, 2013... but it's sad to see them not finishing strong and keep the spirit up till the very last of it!

I do love this show, because I love the music by Danny Elfman... all merchandise is 75% off now, the CD is just $4, various T-shirts for around $10 and the keychains / flashlights only around $3 also.. bought a few things to keep the memory alive.

Enjoyed the show, but was disappointed with the seats from Goldstar which were in the back mezzanine section. Paid more through Goldstar than the stated value on the ticket ( and thats before fees). 5 stars for the show and 1 for Goldstar.

I wanted to give IRIS 3.5 stars as my category 2 seat in the 2nd row, left 1st mezzanine gave amazing viewing.

PROS: Rooftop trampoline scene with its imaginative choreography was the highlight for me, as well as the trapeze acts. 75% off all IRIS merchandise.
CONS: Mediocre music from Danny Elfman just widened the chasm between trying to marry Hollywood cinema to classic Cirque acts(the atmospheric recorded pre and post performance music just highlighted the difference between good and not so good composers). The French MC and transvestite during the mock awards ceremony were embarrassing, amateurish and tacky.

The seats were surprisingly small and the seat cushion the shortest I have ever sat in. The show ended about 9:40 and staff were eager to herd everyone out by 10(morale has definitely been affected by the imminent closing).

This was my 1st Cirque du Soleil show ever. I liked it and can appreciate the work the performers go through to do amazing feats. But I just thought the show was alright. Not something super amazing, just cute. I do believe it was more so the story. I want to see a different show.

Also, the seats at the Dolby Theater are pretty horrible. There's no reason they should be directly behind one another with no real leveling. I was lucky there was an empty seat next to me, but spending the time moving my head back and forth was not fun. Also, if you're not on the floor level, the aerial acts are hard to see.

Yet again Cirque du Soleil had me captivated. I don't know if they out do themselves each time or if it is just me not remembering back the years it takes me to see another.
So much to see and hear I am sure that one could experience this a few times and believe that they are seeing it for the first time.

I had previously seen this event and for $128.00 each had 2 seats in the orchestra. Through Goldstar, I paid $197.00 for 2 tickets which I assumed (very much my mistake) was going to get me great seats. They got me 1st Mezzanine. I had to sit on the edge of my seat and then could not see the acrobats at the end towards the ceiling. I was very unhappy with the seating and will not purchase seating at any other events like this through Goldstar. Plus the performance was much different than I recall.

I've been to few Cirque, and this one is my least favorite so far. I love the Cirque performances where there's always a focus on one main performance at a time. With Iris, though there were simply too many things going on at the same time that it was really difficult to focus on any one acrobatic performance.

Cirque Du Soeli’s IRIS: A Journey Through the World of Cinema was excellent. The Dolby Theater was a wonderful venue and the set and lighting design for each scene were fantastic. Each character provided a beautiful combination of acting, performing, and acrobatic stunts throughout the performance. The music was inspiring and up-lifting, and multiple use of technology throughout provided additional feeling and motivation for the audience and performers. The chaotic scenes brought a sense of realism to the program and order was always restored at the end of each scene. I would encourage people of all ages to see this production!

A great show...entertainment at it's best! For newbies, you're in for a feast of the senses with amazing visuals (costumes, sets, lighting) and sound, live band intricately weaved to enhance the experience that is Cirque! For those who have seen a Cirque show before, it lives up to it's billing, blending the art of cinema with live performance art. There was so much going on you find yourself looking at so many places on the stage, just so you don't miss a beat. I took my niece for her first Cirque event and now she can't wait for future shows that travel into town. I highly recommend this site if you're seeking an amazing experience at a price you can afford.

Awful seats. Very disappointed. Purchased 7 total tickets and the venue literally put us in the last row of the top section even though many other seats (including 7 together) in front were empty. Felt ripped off by price, which is rare considering I've been a long time Goldstar customer.

As far as new Cirque shows are concerned, I'd say this is one of their best. This being the "Hollywood" Cirque show, I thought they did a lot of things right. To be honest, I've been spoiled by watching too many Cirque shows, and there comes a point when a lot of amazing circus tricks start to feel just that: tricks. But in Iris, the amazing acts were well choreographed and supported by dynamic sets (from a film set to rooftops of LA) and use of live images of the performers projected on the backdrop. When I saw the show, I believe one of the clowns was missing (one created by the veteran John Gilkey), so I felt there was something missing, but nevertheless, the clowns did a solid job of keeping the audience entertained and tourist friendly.
Speaking of which, I am really surprised and disappointed that they are canceling this show in January. If this show was intended for tourists, I thought it was very appropriate. You get both Cirque's amazing circus acts with a backdrop of Hollywood's glamour and humor. What's not to like? If you haven't seen it, I think it was well worth the price of admission. I recommend seeing it before it closes.

An unbelievable experience. At times there is so much going on on stage that it is difficult to fully appreciate everything the performance has to offer. We wanted to go back and watch it all over again the next night to see the many nuanced aspects that we couldn't catch in the first go-round. I would recommend this performance to anyone.

"Iris" has much to recommend it, not the least being its artistic sensibility - slightly irreverent, charmingly playful and quaintly French. It is a visual phantasmagoria, of course, as has been noted by many, playing tricks on the eye that seem decidedly old-fashioned yet highly entertaining. The acrobats are unquestionably talented and both creative and daring, providing plenty of hold-your-breath moments. Sets and costumes are as inventive, lavish and gorgeous to look at as anything you'll see on a stage. The narrative is slight, but who cares when there's this much to look at. Though the show was shorter than when we saw it last, the fun is still there. Sorry to see the production is leaving town sooner than expected. I did pay for an expensive seat with restricted views, but I'll blame that on poor selection by Goldstar.

I have seen nearly every Cirque show ever produced since Cirque came on the scene in Vegas. This is at the bottom. It did not really have a focus of theme which I expected to be Cinema/Hollywood/movies. Although some ideas of theme were present...it was very fragmented and most of the show was more like a carnival with a ten ring circus! I can't recommend it and it is easy to understand why the show is closing years ahead of schedule. It is also overpriced for a 1.5 hour event compared to other Cirque shows.

This was an awesome show. I really enjoyed it and I would love to see it again. I think because of the type of show it is, I would see something from a different angle that I might not have seen before. There were so many different facets to it and there was always something that kept my eyes glued to the stage. This was my 2nd time seeing a cirque de soleil show and I'm a fan.

Seats do matter. Contrary to what this site claims, many Cat 1 seats ruin your day - too far away. Bring bioculars if you get a second floor seat.
The show is not bad, some dull passages even for new watchers. Many seem like re-enactments, though at a grander scale.

A clown with a handgun shoots and kills someone on the stage and fires into the audience at a cast member. This is the level of taste we were treated to just a couple of weeks after Newtown. There is much to admire in the athleticism of the performers and in the design teams, but the writing is terrible, no matter how many obscure film references they built into the proceedings. Terrible show.

Do not purchase tickets through GS for this event. You can do much better on the venues website. Google up Iris discounts. I puchased category 1 seats with Red Velvet and wound up in the back of the Mezzanine. Category 1 at this venue is a broad term and GS's are the worst. Great show by the way, just wish I could have seen more of it.

I have followed Cirque since early beginnings at the tent by Santa Monica Pier. "Allegria" and earlier shows had what current day reivewers call "The WOW factor"! Iris did NOT have "The WOW factor". Only two performances in this production came close to that. First the "twins" male performers on the high ropes, and near the end of the show, the trampoline tumbling staged on a rooftop. The "clowining" sections were particularly weak and didn't have the same impact those performances had in Cirque's earlier shows.
The single female trapeeze artist seemed to spend half of her performance time swinging backwards and forwards instead of actually doing something to make us gasp in wonder.
All in all it WAS an enjoyable show but hopefully you don't have the "history" with Cirque to compare to.

A few standouts were the mime with the movieola "tutu", the aerial twins, and especially one of the male dancers (I didn't get his name) in the opening 10 minutes whose dancing was so smooth and effortless that it seemed like visual SILK! I have only seen one other dancer who danced like this. He was absolutely RIVETING! So beautiful! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
