Cirque du Soleil - Corteo Reviews

Sanny from Seattle, Washington

CHILDREN'S THEATRICAL SHOW AT BEST.

Regrettably, the event didn't meet the high expectations I had, and it lacked the extraordinary elements I associate with Cirque du Soleil, reminiscent of a standard circus rather than a Vegas-style extravaganza. The scarcity of impressive gymnastics and the prevalence of amateur tricks left much to be desired. Only a handful of acts stood out, making the overall show feel more like a children's theatrical performance than the anticipated world-class spectacle.

FLOPTEO 😭

Corteo was NOT it. This is the 7th show we’ve been to, but the first bad one. To start, it was at the Toyota Center instead of the usual tents There’s usually a pre-show where performers will interact with and get the crowd hyped, but they couldn’t do that this time. The theme was a funeral? The live music was okay. The storyline was bad. Almost all of the story bits were confusing, boring, chaotic, or all of the above. The costuming was bland compared to previous years and the makeup was non existent. After the first act, we considered leaving, and looking back, we should’ve. In the second act, there was a technical difficulty, and we lost around 10 min of the show. Apparently, this also happened at a show earlier today?? Some good acts: the balloon act was a great way to get crowd participation going. the bed act and the see saw act were two of my faves. the faux trapeze act was also fun. Some bad acts: Romeo and Juliet was by far the worst one. Boring and cringy. Whistle/Glass/Violin act was veryyy underwhelming. The music and the violin drowned out the champagne glass instrument.

IM SHOOK THIS WAS SO BAD

I heard this was a great show. Sadly, I was mistaken and so was everyone who said its a good show. I had no idea what was happening, the music was awful, i could not understand their language, the list goes on. I was under the impression this was an enjoyable show and you should all know it was not. I left early because my ears could not stand the terrible noise and my eyes could not stand the terrible sight. Anyways, i do not recommend.

WORST SHOW I SAW FOR CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

I have seen over 12 shows for Cirque Du Soleil before in North America and Coreto by far is the worst show I ever saw for them. Very basic circuis technique that any other small companies are performing. I regret the money I paid to see the show because it doesn’t worth it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who is used to the previous level of shows of Cirque du Soleil or someone who is looking to see something different than any basic circuis acts. Doesn’t worth the money you pay. You can get much cheaper tickets for smaller circuis companies and you will see the exact same level of performance I saw at Corteo. Story line is hard to follow plus I don’t think the theme of funeral was suitable for the holidays season anyways.

VERY DISAPPOINTING SHOW@

Having seen several Cirque shows before, we expected much better. Jumping on beds in underwear hardly qualifies as good entertainment in our book! The music was loud, the acoustics were awful at the WFCU and the show content itself was so mundane that we left at intermission. Not worth the $100 per seat we paid for the performance at all.

POOR EXCUSE FOR A CIRQUE

No clear story line or flow of the show No performances that were worth the cirque name, acrobatics worthy of a local circus at best Lots of mistakes and misses by performers Props and stage very poor Overall compared to Cirque in Vegas or other areas it is extremely disappointing and should not carry the cirque name

DISAPPOINTING

Having seen two other Cirque shows, I was expecting the wonder acrobatics they became famous for. This was not the case: it was a lot of dull talking and very few acrobatics. Plus, I think that for the price paid, they should not allow people to enter at any moment. It was very distracting.
