We saw it too!
We bought tickets to take the kids to see Wintuk last year in December. I've seen many Cirque Du Soleil shows, so I bought the tickets without even checking into it. I was really bummed when it started getting bad reviews! I started thinking maybe I wasted a-lot of money.
Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. We REALLY enjoyed it!
However, it is not your typical Cirque show, which is what I think people expected, hence the bad reviews.
What did you think of the lampposts??? That was my daughter's favorite part.
And, of course, my husband and my teenage boy still talk about the hula hoop chick.
