Cirque du Soleil: Dralion

the show was absolutely grand. i recommend it to everyone....all ages.

This show was amazing! My wife and I watched in amazement the entire time. Not only was it visually stunning it was funny too.

All I can say is that was the best show I have seen in Many Many Years

Least favorite of all Cirque's I've seen to date. Music too loud. Only one new act in show that I had never seen before. There was a lack of flow and transitions between acts. A lot of empty time in show. The performers are all very talented but did not make a connection with the audience. All this made the production feel a lot longer than it was.

i lovee cirque du soleil, have seen them many times and once again they were amazing. got great seats for not to bad of a price!

Great Show! I love it! I so appreciate the skill, strngth and control that it takes to do these acts. Very Talented! The 3/4 clown act through out had some content that was not kid friendly...adult innuendos. That I did not appreciate.

Great show! Suspenseful and captivating! I'm very glad I went!

Great show! must see . Bring mom and dad . fun for all

Awesome, incredible, one of the best shows I've seen in years.

Very awesome family entertainment! My whole family loved it.

Unbelievable that the event was not a sell out-entire show was amazing

It was fantastic. The colors of the costumes were bright and fabulous to look at. The acrobatics were overwhelming to see, and the rest of the show was just as good!!

this is the first time I ever saw any performers from Cirque du Soleil make mistakes...and there were three mistakes that I saw tonight. Was not quite as upbeat as other Cirque shows. I did enjoy the show...costumes were good and makeup was also good.

I live in a rural area and it is not often that such a fantastic show comes to our area. I hope they come every year. There was not a bad seat in the house. It was enchanting. The artistry was simply beautiful. There was so much to watch...the colorful and spectacular feats were great. The physical strength and dexterity of each artist was amazing. Wow! Wow! Wow!!

This show was amazing. I could have watched it for hours and hours. I don't know if there was one act I liked better than the others as they were all great. Everyone should see Cirque Du Soleil at least once in their lifetime.

The performance was beautiful, graceful and exciting. The performers looked as if they were performing for a full house even though the place was half empty. I am very happy to see these type of events come to Youngstown.

I loved this event!! I am so thrilled the company could bring so much equipment and such talent all the way to Alaska!! Thank You!

Never been to something like this before. Never seen anything like it. Worth every penny.

One of the first greatest shows of Cirque du Soleil!

As always, Cirque put on a fabulous show! I'm never disappointed. Always in awe of their work, creativity and abilities as artists and athletes.

Awesome! Glad I went! Other friends know I went were jealous.

I can't wait to see a Cirque show in Las Vegas! :)

It was my first time seeing them, & it was even better than I had hoped!! I can't wait until next time!!

After seeing several Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas over Christmas, I would have to say this performance was just as good as any of the shows I saw in Vegas. I actually liked Dralion better than the KA performance I saw in Vegas! But I must comment on the seating arrangement the Sullivan Arena used for the Section D seating. Since there is not enough room allowed in that section below, I'm adding it here. I was seated in the same section at the shows in Las Vegas and was very pleased with the seating arrangements and closeness to the stage. The problem at the Sullivan Arena is how the seating in the D section was set up. The stage was elevated above the floor by about 5 feet, but the section D seating was padded folding chairs set on the floor level. So instead of each row being elevated above the one in front of it, all of the rows were on the same level. There were two very large couples sitting directly in front of us and they blocked our views of the action on the stage level the majority of the time. It would not have been a problem if our row was elevated above the one in front of us, like the rest of the seating in the arena. The Sullivan could have done something better, especially with the price we paid for these supposedly premium seats. A large raspberry to the Sullivan Arena staff who set up this seating. My KUDOS to Cirque du Soleil, outstanding performance.

Great music, awesome performances, great time with my whole family!

My family and I are grateful for having a such amazing family show in our city of Anchorage. I would love too see more shows in the near future. Thank you Cique du Soleil!!

This was a once in a life time event for my mother and I. It was so much fun and very intertaning!! If they come back to Alaska I would love to see it again! It left us with an OMG, that was so Awesome feeling!! Love love love it!!

I have waiting years to see this show! I was truly amazed at the performers skill level! They are truly astonishing! They left me on the edge of my seat multiple times!! Amazing! When the 2 person dragons jumped onto a very large ball with 2 sets of dragons, 4 people, working together then a 5th person jumps on their back rolling over a seesaw!

Our family had a great time. My children had never been to a circus of any kind, so I was attempting to point out where this "circus" and a more typical one had shared roots. Cirque du Solell is amazing, created from the ground up of original music, theme, acts . . . From the clowns (improbably in black and white this time), to the acrobats performing a wide and uniquely arranged variety of vignettes, the entire show was colorful and riveting. The music was equally captivating, performed live (although throughout the majority of the performance the musicians were hidden), and the soloists voices were soaring.

Dralion was amazing. I have seen many of the Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas so was a little worried about this traveling show in Anchorage but it was the same quality and beautiful show and quality of the Vegas shows. It is very very nice and appreciated that a show of this quality could be brought to Anchorage Alaska!

Great show. Very good seating. Would recommend a cirque du soleil show.

Dralion was a great performance. FLAWLESS!!! The performers are amazing they show awesome athletic ability and concentration! I recommend all see Cirque du Soleil live well worth it. I know the next time they come thru I will be going to see them perform another magical story.

Love it, love it! It was a great show, I'm glad we are seeing more of this amazing shows here in Anchorage.

This show was awesome, the costumes, acrobats, and the flying thru the air. I loved all of it.

The Dralion production was outstanding! Our family had purchased tickets on the floor close to the stage several months in advance, and were anticipating a great show. We were not disappointed! We were captivated with each performance.The performers were excellent, the choreography was amazing, and the music was enchanting! We all hope to attend another show in the future. Please come back to Fairbanks Alaska!

Cirque du Soleil: Dralion was the best show I have ever been to, and it's not even close. There was never a dull moment, and the mixture of comedy with acrobatics was perfect. I am so glad I was able to see it.

This is the second Cirque du Soleil show that I have seen. Any time I have the opportunity to go, I will go and see another show. These are wonderful performers! Amazing.

Visually stunning, fun , impressive. Have seen multiple Cirque shows. This does not disappoint.

The strength and grace of each performer was amazing. We truly enjoyed every minute.

I'm not much of a circus fan, really, but Cirque de Solei is very impressive and more like artistry to me than the stereotypical idea of a circus. It's artistic, professional, and has incredible choreography. Performer after performer was incredibly skilled and yet also beautifully artistic! I was amazed and awed over and over again. I laughed, cried, shrieked, and bit my nails in suspense and concern for the performers. Anyone who appreciates athleticism, flexibility, and strength has to appreciate what the performers are capable of and the conditioning required to perform at this level. Also, all the music is performed on site. It's not a taped show. Every detail is provided for. It's a quality performance that I would see again and again!

This show was so amazing, they do some incredible things and the music was awesome!

We sprung for 2nd row seats, but any seats would be excellent for this show. Bravo!

The show was Awesome it was my wife's first time to a show in Anchorage Ak and she was thrilled along with my two children, they said it was the best thing they ever saw, In Alaska. After this the family talked about going to more events

super, we enjoyed ourselves! It was way too expensive for us to take our family of foster children! there should be a way large families can afford tickets for family events!

The acrobatics were pretty tame and lame. I've seen better street performers. I know what they do is difficult, but for $116 for two tickets, I was expecting a lot more. The show was very slow and boring. I am very disappointed and would not recommend it. I'm sure people who live very sheltered lives would thoroughly enjoy it.

These professionals performed with near to no error. At times, the stage was so busy your eyes were challenged to decide what to watch. I only wish the show could be tied into a story line.

I would highly recommend going to this show. You will NOT be disappointed.

The costumes and acrobatics were totally mesmerizing. It was my first time to see this troupe. We had 11 members of our family that decided to forego Christmas and see CdS instead. It was one of the most memorable Christmases ever. Our ages were from 6 yrs. to 81 yrs. - made no difference, we all enjoyed this experience. Purchasing our tickets from Ticketmaster was very streamlined, as well. Thank you for a fascinating afternoon of magic!

My wife and daughter had both seen Cirque in LasVegas, but I had not, so when this show was booked for Topeka, we both wanted to see it. And...no surprise, it was enjoyable from start to finish. Hard to list the "Highlights" as each act, section, performance and surprise was just great. I was especially impressed with the expressions of all of the performers, whether or not they were in the spotlight or just standing at the edge of the action awaiting their turn. Without exception, they entire cast was totally professional and gave the impression that THIS SHOW was the only one they were giving....! I know that it's very hard to do as many shows as they do and still look completely fresh and eager for each one, but that's really the mark of professionals....

Fantastic! Costumes, music and the actors were all top quality. My wife and I totally enjoyed the show start to finish. We were so impressed we decided to head off to Las Vgas to see the Cirque Du Soleil in the spring for her birthday.

I am a huge fan of Cirque du Soleil, but this was my first time attending the Dralion show. I was somewhat disappointed for two reasons: 1) There were several very noticeable mistakes that were hard to ignore. This included several acrobats causing stacked hoops to fall when jumping through, or juggled items to drop, etc. Its seemed as though they weren't quite well rehearsed enough for the show. 2) The 'comic relief' was very extensive and overdone. It seemed as though nearly half the show was interrupted by the clowns (who resembled the three stooges in their acts and comedy style). I found myself dreading them returning to the stage each time and interrupting the beauty of the cirque acts and pieces, which were entirely unrelated to the comedy routines. *Regardless, many of the pieces were beautiful. It is a shame they weren't given greater attention and focus.

We were fascinated by the 'clowns' and the Hoop Diving as well as the Bamboo Poles and the Aerial Hoop and the artists floating through the air intertwined in flowing blue cloth... well, I can't pick just one as all and each act was truly phenomenal. The acrobatics, high-flying acts, amazing tricks, and the 'clowns,' had us on the edge of our seats.

Cirque du Soleil never fails to entertain! Such an amazing group of talented individuals! Looking forward to another show!

Having gone a few shows I would say Dralion did not meet our expectations. The best part about the show were the "clowns" and usually they add to the show and aren't the show.

this show hearkened back to the early days of Cirque. Great floor acrobatics and tumbling with a solid action theme and music. No introspective parades or walks with umbrellas. Just great action.

I saw IRIS and OVAL. Dralion is also an excellent show and highly recommended. All shows has it own unique theme.

I've been wanting to see the show for years now and finally decided to go with my girlfriend, who's been wanting to see if almost as long as I have. It was the best entertainment I've seen ever! Live music, acrobatics, circus like (without harm to animals), and much more. Checked out videos of shows to get idea what it would be like and some things were different but overall it was a show I'd recommend everyone to see. It keeps you watching and not a dull moment at all! It's refreshing to see shows like this which go out of their way to make the most of every minute and entertain the audience to the fullest. Their is always a way to go even beyond what they did but for the venue and time alloted it was excellent.

Overall, entertaining. And show does start on time to...amazing compared to other events. For me, to much filler time added by the clowns with less time for aerial stunts. Some acts could be seen on America's got talent with zero fees like $10 parking. Normally, $5.....Hey, that's show biZ!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this event. Even my three year old niece enjoyed it from beginning to end!!!!

It was a first for both my lady friend and myself and it was fantastic! Powerful. dynamic and precise. We both were thrilled to be able to view such a wonderful show. Ever facet of the performance was intense. The actors and actresses were amazing. Totally enjoyed the entire show.

All you will need to know about this show is that "air is blue, water is green and fire is red". If you don't understand, don't worry just enjoy the show, and you'll understand then. It's the East meets West Circus with dance, comedy and acrobatics.

My daughter (12) and I (47) attended and we were just mezmerized by the talent and showmanship. We didn't really care for the clowns...didn't understand their point, so we could live without them...but the show was amazing. The music was beautiful.

I bought these tickets for my husband's birthday. He's been a long-time fan but never actually seen a show. I was a little more apprehensive. In short, I was pleasantly surprise. The performances were excellent. I couldn't have anticipated better. The show combined circus-like performances (suspended "swing", trampoline, dancers, jugglers, etc.) with skits and comedy. It really was excellent. We will go again...Vegas next stop!

Cirque du Soleil always puts on a great show with unusual music and costumes. The performers are terrific and very talented.

The show was really good and the music even better. Although the show was boring at times, I had no problems enjoying every aspect of it. Also, since I am a drummer, my seat in particular was very nice since I sat right in front of the drummer, Alex Reis and percussionist, Marcus Perrozzi.

Dralion was an awesome show! It kept you in aw the whole time! The clowns were very entertaining as well!

I love Cirque du Soleil and have seen many performances all over the US. Loved, loved, loved it!

It was awesome i was amazed through the whole show!!

Cheers to the clowns!(even though they should have had mics) they really helped move the scenes along. There was not as much singing as I had hoped, however there was plenty to enjoy with the beautiful strength and show of characters. The crowd including my daughter and I never knew when to clap because it was all so seamless. The flow was smooth and was waves of enjoyment to experience. I was grateful! Thanks

Very good, but I had seen Alegria here a few years ago and much less arm waving and weaving then. The choreographer could tone that down from continuous - and monotonous - to occasional - and less boring! Great acrobats and costumes!

I expected a great show - but never would have imagined THIS. I kept having to remind myself to blink as I didn't want to miss a thing.

was beautiful. Awesome the music, there movies, and there way to do things and how and when they do it it surprised me and my girlfriend. am not going to say that much about it coz i dont want to destroy it for you so you should go and see it by your self and believe me it deserve you give it your time. thanks

I was impressed by the overall ability of all of the perfomers and the live orchestra was fabulous.

We had front row seats to this show and it was great. This was my first Cirque show and I'll definately be going as often as I can. Disiplined, playful, and just plain awesome!

A laudable marriage of athleticism, creativity, synergy, fantasy, and taste. Why it was so poorly attended speaks volumes about the pedestrian appetite of the Youngstown metropolitan area. I'm not sure that most people who attended could appreciate what marvels unfolded before their very eyes and ears. One-armed pushups from a clown! The best band I've heard in months. Truely inspired and inspiring. I am usually very critical about most everything that passes for art and Dralion left me with little to feed my cynicism. OK, if I had to make one criticism I'd say the female vocalist was not the best I've heard in a Cirque performance. And that is probably splitting hairs. I hope that Cirque's experience here will warrant a return performance. Thanks for reading my rant. Bottom line: Five Star Performance.

This was a fun and family event, best dhow ever to come to Fairbanks!

All aspects excellent. At some moments, the performance brought tears to our eyes.

This show was good, not great. Maybe I've been spoiled with the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleils' as it didn't meet my expectations. The show started with a "comedy group" that would periodically make appearances throughout the show. It appeared they had one of their own in the audience as he was always "picked upon" to help with the comedy. Most of the segments were done beautifully. Gorgeous costumes! A few segments were too long ... almost monotonous :( I kept thinking when is this going to end? Also, A LOT of dancing... if that is what you're into. Most impressive for me were the stunts on the trampolines, jump ropers and the ribbon dance. However, everyone's different. My friend loved the show, but this was her first Cirque du Soleil.

The look on the grandkids faces was priceless, their laughter filled my heart with joy, what a great show, only one better is O in the Belagio.

loved the show, the kids were amazed and amused. i loved all the acrobats

The show was amazing. What an incredible group of performers!

First, let me say this: These people are better at what they do, than I am at anything. That being said, haven't we all seen just about every variation of ball juggling possible? And contortionists? I have seen several Cirgue shows. One of them has to be the least entertaining. This one is it. The trampoline people were amazing. The guy with the ball/cage was incredible. The clowns were hilarious. I appreciate their effort, but I can see why they are retiring this show.

This show was absolutely wonderful. We are ready to go to Vegas to see all their shows. My entire family was in awe of the total talent!!! Please come back to Alaska again!!

As usual, Cirque Du Soleil provided a show that one will never forget seeing.

I've seen Mystique in Vegas and La Nouba in Orlando. Dralion was nothing in comparison. Same acts from other show, but less talented. There was no WOW factor, which was disappointing for a Cirque show. I was really looking forward to it. :-(

great show, the lady in red on the hoop was hard to see

Saw the same show in Portland, Oregon. Although it was good here, in Anchorage, I thought the performance in Portland was better. I believe there were four trampolines at the Portland performance versus two here. It may have just been the seating and arena in Portland that made it seem like a better performance.

It was a great Cirque for Anchorage Alaska , considering we don't get this kind of performance every year . Very impressed with all the acts, in special with the acrobatics on the air and in the floor ! Never saw cirque du soleil before, so I was impressed. To go back to that particular acts, ha!!! Maybe in 10 years or so . But seeing totally new cirque du soleil , definitely. thanks

The show is great. Very entertaining. My husband liked it. The performance is awesome

Was unforgettable very awesome family outing for our first time :) thank you for good first experience!

I bought tickets and hotel reservations for 3 people as a Christmas gift. I initially thought the tickets were pricey. It wasn't long that I realized that the show was worth every penny. Amazing athletic feats wrapped in stunning visuals and soul touching music and special effects.

This was a great event. My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of the evening! The whole, sold out room was on their feet at the end. Thank you for coming to Alaska.

I never thought I'd ever see a Cirque de Soleil show by living in Alaska. I always wanted to see their show, and to my shock they came to Alaska. I was so happy to see the show, I already had seen their shows through HBO back in the late 90's, and was always amazed by the production they put on. It was still in my opinion one of the best shows to see EVER!! My hope is that we here in Anchorage, Alaska will have more opportunities to see more of their shows. We're always told it's too expensive to bring these kinds of productions here to our state. I think I can say that their are many happy Alaskan's who also look forward to seeing more of Cirque de Soleil shows.

I had seen a Cirque tent show so I knew it wouldn't be as elaborate as a show in Vegas. A traveling set not an easy thing to bring to Alaska. I thought the performers gave it their all , high energy mixed with amazing skill it truly was art in motion. I felt that we were given the A team of performers they were the best. The whole performance was Stunning it was all Wow. Magical experience so glad we went!

This show was well worth the ticket price. From the costuming, to the music (great musicians behind the scenes and the two singers were phenomenal, what range they both had!), to the acrobatics, to the comedy relief, it was all absolute perfection! My husband, son, and I were in awe the whole time. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful show up to us in Alaska. Sorry to hear we were your last stop before disbanding. But I guess all good things must come to an end, I'm just glad I got to see you before it happened!

This is my second Cirque du Soleil performnce, first in Anchorage, AK. It was awesome!!! Just as with Mystere, I found myself sitting there, jaw dropped to my chest, in total amazement. The performers and music were wonderful. It was so great to have a show of this caliber come up to Alaska. I hope to see more.

Thoroughly impressed with the entire show. Enjoyed every moment of it.

Just an overall fantastic show. Family loved it I loved it. Made me hold my breath at points. If you haven't seen this show go go go

Dralion was an amazing performance which left me and my spouse turned on!!!

No disappointment here. Everything it claimed to be and more. Unbelievable choreography and athleticism. The kids loved it and it was obvious that adults felt the same way.
