REVIEW of Cirque du Soleil ECHO

A beautiful symbolic experience from November 5th, 2023 through January 21, 2024

Cirque du Soleil ECHO was so amazing! It was everything imagined and then some. I had been to two other Cirque du Soleil performances in years past and their level of performance gets more magical every time. Cirque and Cirque du Soleil have such definitive meaning I truly did not know what to expect since Cirque du Soleil ECHO was their first performance since the COVID pandemic. As we know everything changed in almost every way however Cirque du Soleil ECHO became even more mystical. It was literally and figuratively a beautiful symbolic experience for me and mine!  

No spoiler alerts here however I must share the following highlights of our show. Our favorite performance was the walking block as we call it. The characters presented it beautifully as they went up and down the spinning and turning block. They were twirling beyond belief in such amazing synchronization. Imagine how beautiful it was with them all dressed in white attire and floating beyond imagination. It was simply beautiful.  Then our second favorite moment was when the red man brought life to the stage. He was huge! Bigger than life he so gently held a lady performer in his hand and gave us a true performance that we could feel. It was awesome watching the two of them communicate.

Cirque du Soleil ECHO is a must-experience because it is truly an experience. Please try to make it to Atlantic Station to see this experience. There are plenty of photo opportunities outside the big tent so please take plenty of photos to document your experience. No photos can be taken inside the tent so please be respectful. I was only allowed to do so during my media day visit. There is plenty of uniquely beautiful merchandise to purchase so plan on getting a shirt or two as well. The merchandise I was looking at started at $30. Also, be sure to present your Cirque Du Soleil ticket at select tenants to enjoy exclusive discounts on your purchases!
