Cirque Du Soleil: Zarkana

Fantastic show Great theatre raw C the 3rd one was a fantastic location to enjoy the artists on stage

Zarkana is what Cirque is all about. Just like watching a mini circus but with way more talent than your local, run-of-the-mill circus. The characters were engaging and the acrobatics were awesome. As always, a Cirque show is a perfect night out with that special someone!

A must see show if you visit Las Vegas. Excellent Show!!!!

Wonderful video projections, humor and incredible acrobatics

Gives circus new meaning. The performers were very talented and the singing was great. Also, the show had a lot of comedy.

I thought wasn't as good as passed shows like OVO or others we saw on Randall's island

I have atttended a couple times to see the show with my family, and we wnat to come back always, because is spectacular; It's different show every time to go and You really will enjoy it.

When we think Cirque du Soleil is amazing, and we watch Zarkana, we realize they ALWAYS can make better. I've already watched many different shows, including some Las Vegas shows, but this one was by far the BEST. Congrats to the group.

We have been to a number of Cirque du Soleil events and this was one of the best! We went to the final New York City performance and the show was packed with people. I hear the show is now moving to Las Vegas, and I would recommend going to see this one. It was a great mix of what you would expect and some surprises!

I saw a AAA discount in my inbox and I couldn't resist a $63 orchestra ticket, so my sister and I decided to go this past Saturday. I was completely blown away. I've heard nothing but great things about Cirque Du Soleil and Zarkana completely proved why. The costumes and sets are just out of this world amazing. The performances were breathtaking, and I almost couldn't believe it was over when the cast came out for a curtain call. Although it's no longer in NYC, you need to go when it gets back to Vegas. It was the best $63 I've ever spent and it's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I went with my 10 1/2 year old daughter who LOVES Cirque Du Soleil's shows. This was her 3rd and my 4th shows. She loved it from beginning to end she didn't even want to make comments during the show so she wouldn't miss a single move. Lol I can't wait till the next time they come back to NYC.

Had a awesome time! Took my girlfriend out to see Zarkana n saturday and let me tell you, it was worth every penny of my $130 seat lol.....the colors are so vibrant! The music being played by a "Live" band! The clowns were hilarious and the performers were death defying! It felt like a trip (if you know what I mean lol) the whole show! Jus really unbelievable...a must see!!

This event was amazing! Cirque du Soleil is a great mix of acrobatics and entertainment.

Right from the very start, I was glued to my seat, mesmerized by the performers. They went from one act to the next so fluidly, it was hard to keep up with them! they intertwined acrobatics with slapstick comedy all the while with live music as performed by members of the troupe. There were juggling and trapeze acts that defied gravity, and sometimes, reality itself. When the show was finally over, I felt dissappointed, as it left me hungry for more. As I have kidded with my friends, Zarkana is a must, and should be in everybody's "bucket list".

It was the third or fourth CDS show that we have seen, and definitely other shows were much better. Some acrobats delivered, as usual, and the music was enchanting as always, but many times there was a feeling that the acrobats were playing it safe or not putting the heart into it. Especially the large acrobat group in the end, who were shuffling around the stage a lot and barely doing any acrobatics. The story was missing. Overall it was a non-event. Also, select your seats carefully because Radio City is long and relatively flat, and even mezzanine is already rather far from the stage. I recommend only the first rows on the mezzanine or balconies. We took mezzanine seats because usually with CDS you want to be looking at the stage from some elevation, but in Radio City the balconies are very far from the stage. Overall, I recommend this show to anyone who has never been to Cirque du Soleil before, to experience their unique style, but if you are a fan, don't spend too much money on this particular performance.

I've seen a lot of Cirque du Soleil shows so I wasn't blown away with this one. Still, it's a pretty good show, and was definitely enjoyable.

At first when I heard about the show, I didn't see what the hype was until I seen it live... these guys are great! I mean they far exceed what is shown on youtube. I must see!!!

Amazing show, fantastic effects, unforgetable event! Also a historical and amazing place!

Simply put: Amazing performers! Staggers the imagination to think that these people have honed their bodies to a level where they can do this type of performance. Stage design is awesome, the use of projections along with the live action is very well done. The music suites the acts perfectly and the humorous parts of the show were very funny during scene setups and equipment dismantling. Overall a perfect show in my opinion.

I was in awe as I sat in my balcony seat. I tried not to blink so as not to miss any second of this fantastic performance. Incredible talent and discipline. What is the human body and mind that it can produce all these marvels in a presentation. Unbelievable.! Will see it again.

This was my second time seeing show, my sister's first. The skills and abilities of the amazing cast where unforgettable. There was so much activity going on you couldn't look away for fear you missed something. Would recommend this performance highly.

This was my first show of Cirque Du Soleil and it was fantastic! The colorful displays and stunts were truly outstanding! And getting to my seat was quick and easy.

This was my 9th Cirque and I thought the acrobatics could have been better. Better meaning perhaps either more challenging or unique. One of the acts, for me, was a complete waste. The music, set and the clowns were fantastic as were the costumes!!! The clowns stole the show completely!! It's a good show and worth it if you can get a discount on tickets.

I have been to quite a few Cirque du Soleil shows over the last few years. This show has to be one of my favorites! It was very interesting to see. The special effects on the stage went well with the outfits of the performers. The performers are so impressive, as they always are. This show is a must-see!!!

Looked up the reviews before going and saw a 2 hour 20 minute show described - ours lasted 1 hour 30 minutes - no high fliers - what was there was great and enjoyable, but we wonder what wasn't there - and were delighted we had discount tickets so we didn't t get stuck for a whole lot!

Zarkana was nothing short of amazing. I have seen all of the Cirque du Soliel shows (except Elvis in Las Vegas) and this is one of the best. The acrobatics are awe inspiring, the music exceptional and the visuals (costumes, sets etc) are as wonderful as they are wacky. We had 4th row seats so we even got to see the details! This is a show that the whole family, kids included will be thrilled to see! Highly recommended!

Boy those guys were amazing!! I don't know how they stayed on that Wheel. The whole show was incredible.

Magic event !! It was really spectacular and BIG ! The decor is unforgettable and the cirque du soleil is amazing.

Zarkana was another outstanding show by Cirque. Whimsy wound with quintessential French expression and raw talent were the mainstays of the show. The music was fun and Radio City is always a blast to see a show in. The quality of the performances is just amazing and it really is a spectacle for all ages. Really, I've read other reviews and I can't understand them. I'm trying to figure out what actually will entertain some people. You may not love every second of the show but you'll love the show as a whole. The clowns, the dances, the sets and the music are as good as or better than anything I've ever seen on Broadway. PS I've seen Cirque in Orlando and Cirque in Vegas. Like both of them as well. Vegas was my favorite, Orlando next then Radio City.

Incredibly fun! I felt like I almost had a heart attack on more than one occasion because they literally kept you at the edge of the seat the whole time. I felt like a little kid at Christmas. Definitely worth the money.

Okay, forget about the spectacular acrobatics on the trapeze and high wire. Or the young lady who does a headstand on a ladder, which is supported on the head of a man who is standing on the top of another ladder, which is on top of a piano. The three most memorable acts were, in my opinion: 3. The man who could go down and get down as if someone was pulling strings. 2. The opening act- a juggler who not only juggled balls, but bounced them under a table and back up. 1. The sand artist, creating works of art with her hands and sand in ever-changing views. This is last time "Zarkana" will be in NYC, and here are not many performances left. If you have a chance and want to be amazed, go. It is 90 minutes of unbroken wonder.

Show was exciting and worth every penny.I especially enjoyed the music!

Everything was Great From Employees being professional to the Show, I totally recommend this show it will blow your mind!!!

I've wanted to see Cirque Du Soleil for quite some time. It was my birthday on Saturday, the 21st (which was when the show was) and so last minute I kind of got these tickets for me and a friend for a great price. We sat in the orchestra towards the back, and I couldn't have gotten better seats. We were far enough where we could take it all in, yet close enough where we could see things at a great, eye-level view. I would definitely recommend sitting in the orchestra towards the back. The overall show was fabulous, especially the stage setup, lighting, graphics, etc. The stage itself blew me away, it was absolutely beautiful and trippy with the colors and details. The acrobats and performers were extremely talented and made my hands sweat just watching them as they pulled off some amazing stunts. My only complaint, which was why I didn't give 5 stars was the clowns. During the sort of 'in-between acts' they used certain actors/clowns to fill in the time while they prepared the stage behind the curtain. I was just disappointed with these 'fillers' because the clowns weren't really funny and didn't do anything very entertaining. For the money people pay and for their high expectations, they should have definitely had better entertainment during these moments, like more acrobats doing floor stuff or jugglers and whatnot. Another thing that was a little disappointing was that I felt like there was absolutely no plot whatsoever. If there was a storyline going on, I had no idea what the hell it was. And neither did my friend, haha.

This is the third Cirque show I have seen. It is hard to imagine how much more creative they can get, but, they do! Even though I thought the story line was unclear, the visual stimulation is unsurpassed. This Cirque show, as in others I have seen, uses comic characters to warm up the audience and do little bits during set stages. The artists do something unique in each presentation. My favorite was the dual spinning wheels. It is hard to describe here, just that it is an incredible circus type act. The use of video walls with superb graphics was a modern touch. We went to a matinee and this show is perfect for a family visiting NYC. It is perfect for anyone, really! In addtion, the venue is historic and a classic. There are SO many shows in NYC. Many come to our town within a year or two. So, it was easy to pick a show that will UNLIKELY make the travel circuit. If you want a guaranteed crowd pleaser, this is your show!

One of the greatest shof of circque du soleil I' ve ever seen! Amazing!

Outside of Vegas, Cirque shows tend to be just "ok." Zarkana, on the other hand, was excellent. There were quite a few missed "tricks" and scary near misses, though to some extent it reminds you just how dangerous these acts really are!

I think this show is really good. They combined the story and the skills in a very cool way. I enjoyed it.

We absolutely enjoyed the show. This is the third Cirque du Soleil show we've seen in three months. We are definitely hooked!!

Overall I give it a 3.7 out of 5. Really the only reason for that is,one of the scenes that lasted for maybe 10 minutes the audience could'nt see it till half way though, Other than that the show was AWESOME as expected

I was on the edge of my chair through some of the acts. Even thought it wasnt in English and I did not understand any of it the entertainment just drew you in. The only thing I was upset about was the lighting didnt work for half of the Sand Art act so none of us knew what was going on or what she was doing. It started working right at the end for her last design.

Spectacular! The music, the story make you forget it is actually a circus! LOVED IT!

This show was mind blowing. There is no other way to put it into words. The Aria is a great venue. This show is a must see in Vegas!

Zarkana has moved to the top of our list as the favorite!! From beginning to end the show kept us captivated. We especially loved the special stage effects of the snakes & roses. The entire show was very colorful.

One of the top 3 Cirque shows out there. My family thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I have seen over the years every Las Vegas Cirque offering, and one in Miami. Mystere and O remained at the top for me, but Zarkana has joined them as the most innovative and entertaining. We loved it.

I've seen several Cirq shows in Vegas and although the theater was great, the show was kind of slow and uneventful. For a balcony seat for $100.00 the show should be superb. I would not recommend this show unless the ticket was less than 50.00.

The theater was amazing. We sat in the lower level near stage and the seats were like large living room sofas! Very comfortable, which was good because some of the death defying feats we saw had me huddling into the seat! The show was breathtaking and I cannot wait to go back and take my granddaughters to see it!

Fantastic show with amazing talent, vivid scenery, and flawless production. I am a huge fan of Cirque du Soleil and have seen almost all of their shows.

I would highly recommend to anyone. Many different acts and they were all terrific.

the show was really good- similar to other Cirque shows but with more acrobatics which made it exciting- it was also funny too- made for a nice evening- also the show was very colorful

Perfect show with good music, perfect rhythm A must see

Very entertaining show for all ages. I would recommend it to all who enjoy a circus like show.

I've been to every cirque show in Las Vegas. I'm convinced Zarkana is comprised of people who were rejected from the other shows. Acrobats were uncomfortably shaky. There was too much downtime between acts, which they filled with clown pieces that got old quickly. I was highly disappointed by Zarkana. Will not repeat this show, and would not recommend this to friends. And I LOVE the cirque shows! I was really hoping this one would be good, but it's just not on par with the others. The theater is beautiful though.

One of the best Cirque du Soleil's shows, with all that is expect from it.

While this was a good show, it was my 3rd cirque show (I also saw O after this). Out of the 4 shows this was definately the least pleasing... my first two cirque shows were traveling ones... and they blew this away. I'd expect better out of a permanent show. the Performers almost seemed as if they were the secondary crew. I guess what I am saying is that the level of polish that a cirque show has was just not there. Singer and band were amazing though!

Too much French circus clown humor. Show did not appear to have a storyline. Clown skits between performances too long and not funny. Cirque performers were amazing, clowns\u2026not so much! It seemed like the producers of all the Cirque shows had extra performers so they threw them in this show and married it with average music and boring clowns.

Creative, and extraordinary. It transcends the human limits. Breathless and extremely beautiful! Bravo !

I have seen most of the Cirque Du Soleil shows and this was the worst one I fell asleep in the show it was that bad and my husband wanted his money back. The performers were messing up on stunts and it was just terrible.

Was far below our expectations. Seen many Cirque Du Soleil shows and was one of our least favorites.

Filled with how did they do that moments, such as the lady juggling balls with her foot, people rolling and spinning on big rings,

Having seen nearly every show on the strip (Zumanity, Mystere, O, Love, Sigfreid &Roy, Machael Jackson's ONE, La Reve, Ka) and even saw the disasterous Elvis, The replacement show for Elvis (Zarkana) was a very entretaining adventure. They probably need some work on the blocking to cue the audience when the performeis giving the que for audiance applause. It is difinitely a HUGE step up from ELVIS. My girffriend and I went opening week and while many of the acts had very orinigal concepts and were visually interesting, the tie in to ELVIS was superficial at best. I'm sure several heads rooled after a dud was placed the crown jewel of the MGM families property. I think Elvis was to distant of a memeory for crowds to be attracted. Having said that, Zarkana had several acts that were above average. The "twins" who did the aerial ballet over the heads of the audieance was simply tasteful, erotic gold. Would I see it again?? Yes. But with an oversaturation of CDS show now, the next offering would need to be so unique, NOONE could say "oh I saw something simliar in a different show." I am not a very creative person, but CDS is capable of much more that a 3 star show and they have. Michael Jackson's One and Beatles Love are two good expamples. Do more like that, in that caliber!!!

All throughout the show, I was on the edge of my seat becuase the stunts are exciting and breathtaking. The set was incredible. The costumes are colorful. The clowns were very funny. A must see show.

The amazement starts with the theater. It was incredible. Each and every act was both incredibly stylish and thrilling. I was especially impressed with the Atherton Twins. Their act was as beautiful as it was mesmerizing.

Zarkana was such a great show! It had live music with an actual band playing and live vocals as well! I got the furthest seats and was up on the balcony but it didn't matter, the view was great and I was able to see everything! I would definitely recommend this show if you are into excitement and fantastic music!

Zarcana was a fun show with lots of acrobatics. The clowns were funny. Great upbeat music and singing. Only disappointment is that the spider appears only once and it is just a minor part of the show. There isn't a real story line like in KA so it is just more random fun pieces.

it was unforgettable!!!))) interesting show! I recommend!

Got to see it! These are some of the best gymnast in the world today.

Good show, worth your time and money when in Vegas

I have been to several Cirque shows and I like this one the best. I like that it shows off the performers talents rather than the massive amounts of hardware and technology as in some Cirque shows.

The show itself resembles more of a circus than O did. There is not a theme or a base line story but more of a circus feel of acrobatics, amazing acts of strength and balance. There is a lot of humor and character with the clowns and provide quite a distraction while changing sets. This is the most comfortable show I have been too as far as the seating and getting into and out of the show area. Aria does a nice job! I may not go to see Zarkana again but I would go see a show at the Aria!

I found the whole production boering and over priced. It was so loud I had to stuff kleenex in my ears and that was not enough so I had to leave the theatre.

Two or three acts were great. The rest of the show was a big bore. The singer did a nice job.And people were coming in late all show and it seemed as though everyone was allowed to get up and leave and come back. Hard to watch a show that way.

While the show was very, very good, I was not as impressed with this one as I have been in other shows. (I have seen O and Mystere in Vegas previously, and 2 traveling shows in Ohio.) I felt that there were almost too many different acts, therefore any given act was not given the time to show the bigger, grander stunts that I have seen in the others.

This was a great show. I have seen a couple of CdS shows before and this was just as good. Our seats were great.

I liked the Zarkana Cirque show, it is a fun entertaining show. Once again, the talent of the performers is amazing. I don't think it's their best Cirque show but it is an enjoyable entertaining one. Most of the other productions they built the stage around the show. This one they built the show around the stage. It's good and if you haven't seen the other shows you would probably think it was great. I had seen the Elvis show that was originally there before Zarkana. I really liked that production and was sad to see it was gone. Apparently not enough appeal to the younger generation. Anyway, Zarkana is good and I would recommend it.

Zarkana was well worth the expensive admission. Great acrobatics. The sand writer was amazing.

Excellent show. Great evening in Vegas. Non stop amazing artists in action

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SHOW. MUCH MORE THAN I HAD EXPECTED AND I PLAN ON GOING TO SEE THE OTHER CIRQUE DU SOLEIL SHOWS.

I love Cirque du Soleil and am working my way through all the shows in Vegas. Last Fall I saw the Michael Jackson show and it blows this one out of the water. The good: the acrobats, hire wire act, the sand art lady, the music.

Lovely Acts but personally we thoght that it way too short.

The individual acts were anti-climactic. I've been to three different shows and this is the worst one yet. No story line, no organization just a disaster of mediocre stunts

Amazing and perfect. Abosolutly recomended to everyone.

Zarkana is another wonderful CDS show -- music, acrobatics, clowns. This is on a standard stage (no water, not in the round, etc. like some other shows). We cannot always see the band and singers as in other shows. But the music, acrobatics and coreography are wonderful and worth the ticket price.

THIS SHOW WILL NOT BORE YOU!!!! I bought front row seats, which were both good and bad. Bad because it really is too close to stage and the stage is almost eye level so you miss the big grand picture of it. And Good if you'd like a chance to be on stage! Yes indeed, I was chosen to come on stage by the clown and it was a fun and funny experience, sure to make your party laugh at you! I loved every moment of it. Next time I will buy 4th row seats, just because I want to be able to see the entire stage. The characters are funny, there definitely is a story line and the acrobatics are truly beautiful to look at. You can get your snacks and drinks and go sit and watch the show. Definitely for the entire family. Well worth the money.

Engaging, Captivating and another fantastic performance! Loved the live music and singing in Zarkana. You won't be disappointed!!

I like the show, but i didn't think was The best show i saw in my life. Sometimes i get bored when The clowns was in The show. Good but not extraodinary

I've seen several Cirque shows, all wonderful. This was no exception. From the beginning it captures your interest and doesn't let up. From very physical performances to the artistic & intriguing sandpainting, this was super. We went with our sons and they loved it, too. You walk out very satisfied and highly entertained.

The acrobats / characters are just incredibly daring. The show just moves with all of the amazing gravity defying moves I expect from Cirque.

Having seen just about every show there is in Vegas, I would have to say that ZARKANA is the best Cirque Du Soleil show on the Strip!!! The music is wonderful, the theatre is beautiful and the acts are nothing short of thrilling!!!! Do yourself a favor and buy your tickets TODAY!!!!

Darkly goth, clowns not funny, mistakes throughout, people falling asleep around me, $300+ on 2 tickets. Waste of money. Go see Mystere that is worth it.

Just an average show. Not wha I expected after seing the other cirque du solei shows.

Absolutely great show! So much mind blowing action to see. It was a great combination of: humor, love, dancing, signing, acrobatics and much more! I wanted to stay and watch it over again!

What an excellent show! The act was entertaining, the performers were amazing! I sat on the edge of my seat a few times with the show catching my breathe.

This was my first Cirque Du Soleil show and it was wonderful and amazing. All the acts were great and there was such a variety of things to watch. The music was great and the singing fit well the acts while performing. I found myself moving to the music during the show. The music varied from poetic to fast pace to uplifting. The show was put together well and had a nice flow... The theater was nice and we had great seats. You could see the entire show and everything on the stage. People pay lots of money to sit close, but I would think you miss a lot of the detail that is in the back and higher up on the stage I would recommend this show and would see again. The Aria was a great venue for this show.

The show is so good and the acrobats are very talents.

This was an awesome show!! Cirque shows always start on time and never disappoint. The venue is nice but the seats are a little cramped especially if you're taller than maybe 5'8. This is a definitely a must see!

The show was fascinating. We totally enjoyed it. The only downfall was that they didn't speak English, so it was hard to understand.

Good show, entertaining. A little odd/boring at times. Not as good as KA.

we saw the most of cirque du soleil at las vegas. This one is the newest, but not the best. We missed a few acts, we have seen in the preview.

Great performance! Very impressive and beautiful theater.
