点评:We were so excited to see this. We visited a, what we thought to be similar, traveling circus last year that was set up in the same location. The tickets for Cirque Italia were twice the price that we paid for last year‘s circus, and it had a much larger tent. We anticipated an even more impressive show, as last year‘s circus was incredibly fun even though it was smaller and much less expensive. This circus was incredibly disappointing. The production value was low, the whole thing felt “cheap“, the water really didn’t add anything to the show, and a lot of the stunts were just “OK.“ We paid extra for great seats, but someone else had also somehow bought our first seats. Since we came after them, we ended up in the same vicinity but in very uncomfortable metal fold out chairs. A lot of people were seated in these awful chairs! We were disappointed that we paid more for “good seats“ yet missed a lot of the show. There was a lot of downtime in this show, made up for by clowns doing little skits, which we could see none of. We were completely blind to any act that was happening while they were setting up for the next performers. No one in our “good seats“ area could see what was happening. We were honestly really bored for a lot of it, and our kids kept asking “how much longer?“ They are raking people over the coals with these ticket prices. The costumes were sad - cutoff shorts, cheap. Where did “Italia” come from?? At one point they had a transformer come onto the stage, our daughter wanted to see it, but then we learned you had to pay extra to see the transformer up close and then even more $ to take a photo. We do have to hand it to the aerialists, and the trick of the “changing costumes“ was pretty cool. There is definitely some talent in the circus, but the vision for executing such talent is severely lacking. In the end, we were so happy to leave and felt a little embarrassed by how much we had spent for this low-brow, often-boring experience.
翻译:看到这样的演出我们兴奋极了。去年我们去看了一场巡回马戏团,感觉跟去年的演出很像,但场地和去年一样。意大利马戏团的票价是我们去年的两倍,而且帐篷也大得多。我们期待着一场更精彩的演出,因为去年的马戏团规模更小,票价也便宜得多,但精彩程度令人难以置信。这场马戏团的演出令人大失所望。制作水平低下,整场演出感觉很“廉价”,水幕表演也没什么亮点,很多特技也只是“还行”。我们额外付了钱,买到了好座位,但不知怎么的,别人也把我们的第一排座位买走了。因为我们比他们晚到,所以我们最后还是去了同一个地方,但坐的却是非常不舒服的金属折叠椅。很多人都坐在这种糟糕的椅子上!我们很失望,花了更多钱买了“好座位”,却错过了很多精彩的演出。这场演出有很多停顿时间,都是小丑表演一些小短剧来弥补的,我们一个都没看到。当他们在为下一位演员做准备的时候,我们完全看不到正在进行的任何表演。我们“好座位”里的人根本看不到正在发生的事情。说实话,我们大部分时间都觉得无聊透顶,孩子们不停地问“还要多久?”他们用这么贵的票价狠狠地批评了观众。服装也很糟糕——短裤,很便宜。“Italia”是从哪里冒出来的?有一次,他们让一个变形金刚出现在舞台上,我们女儿想看,但后来我们得知,要近距离观看变形金刚需要额外付费,拍照则需要额外付费。我们不得不佩服那些空中飞人,“换装”的绝技真是太酷了。马戏团里确实有一些天才,但执行这些天才的远见卓识却严重不足。最后,我们很高兴地离开了,并且对我们为这种低俗且常常无聊的经历花费了这么多钱感到有点尴尬。
