This was a great show! Well worth the money. Amazing effects, cast, props and great theatre. There were draggy bits here and there but overall this show was very captivating. I particularly enjoyed the motor cycle stunts, the swing stunts and all the aerial performances. Totally amazed at the upper body strength of the cast!

We thought this show was brilliant. The story was poor, but the effects, acrobatics, diving, dance, surprises and fantastic stage more than made up for it. We did go to the show on a Friday, where it was really busy - and after 30 minutes the show was stopped due to one of the light fittings breaking. We were so... More

Wonderful production and amazing stunts. You can stay at the cheapest section as the theater is not that big and you can see everything from any part of the theater. Although the front view is the best, there's not much difference on the sides. You can get wet if you stay in the first 4 rows. I enjoyed the show... More

This show has lots of great hype and it is all true. 2 hours of non stop action. The kids were amazed by the spectacle and the adults were amazed by the spectacle and HOW it was all done. Good views from everywhere in the theatre (although front 4 rows may get splashed!). If you feel the urge for pop... More

What an incredible show. Spectacular, innovative, mind-boggling, athletic, featuring awe-inspiring feats of human strength and engineering excellence. Even the food bar prices were very reasonable! Highly recommended.

In Macau for the Asia pacific Special Olympics Golf Masters, all the Golfers and their Coaches enjoyed a Thursday evening show as Guests of the Management. WOW - there's a pool, then characters appear for under water and from thirty metres up; then the pool disappears! Believe me - one minute it is there, then it is gone. Then it... More

Great show, thoroughly enjoyed it, very clever stage work and the performers were wonderful. Water diving, dancing and stunt show. Shuttle buses available after the show to take you back to the Ferry.

The show was amazing, lots of visually impressive choreography and exciting stunts. Came an hour before the show and unfortunately only the most expensive "red" tickets were still available so ended up buying those. Unfortunately the show was impacted by ignorant imbeciles - despite being warned not to use cameras literally dozens of times by the staff, many members of... More

Brilliant and spectacular show. If you've ever been to a Cirque show before, this is easily on par with the best of them. A veritable feast of lights, water fountains, acrobatics,gymnastics, extreme diving, ballet, and quite bizarrely... motorcross stunts! Do not bother with the storyline as it does not make any sense at all. Fantastic stage which consists of 2... More
