Featured review from Shelly Lo
view more less of this reviewThe show was worth seeing and the acrobatic elements had a very high WOW factor. As a velvet member, we were not pleased at all with our preferred seatings. We were 4 rows from the very back to the far right of the stage. From our seats, our view was limited by the supporting pole of the tent. We begin to question the advantages of being velvet member.
star this review starred report as inappropriateBeautiful production full of new visuals, acts, and antics. And still original. Special kudos to the chinese team of 6 and all the costuming. Also, beautiful female vocalist reminded us of Dido.
star this review starred report as inappropriatecute show--singing was nice a bit of calypzo music---Not thrilled with the blocked view with the tent posts. We sat in the upper section. I don't think the posts block views in the lower sections. FREEZING inside!!!!!!!! Back sections were by the air conditioning vents so it was an ARCTIC WIND STORM in the top 5 rows.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThough not our favorite Cirque du Soleil show to date, we certainly enjoyed it. Not as "high end" as "Ô", "Mystère" or even "Kooza" were, but more of a succession of (beautiful) circus acts.
We also were in agreement that the second half was better than the first.
Perfect for children.

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.
