Cirque du Soleil - Ovo
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"..."Ovo" may not be the best "Cirque" show in world, or even in L.A. at the moment. But its isolated instances of pure aerial magic are still something to buzz about."
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...Leave it to Cirque du Soleil. Old or new, familiar or otherwise, they'll leave you bug-eyed."
Edge- Recommended
"...It would be impossible to leave the show without feeling a childlike elation and sense of wonderment, no matter what your age."
Stage and Cinema- Not Recommended
"...The most absorbing part of the show is trying to understand why people would pay this much to see it."
EyeSpyLA- Recommended
"... Cirque du Soleil after all these years keeps things fresh and surprising. They are like a favorite band that returns with some new songs, in the style you already love. The shows at the pier have a winning, casual feel."
Examiner- Recommended
"...And finally, there must be words of special praise for Deborah Colker, the writer, director, and choreographer of this production, and, above all, for Liz Vandal, who designed the costumes that kept the whole ensemble buzzing."
LA Stage Times- Not Recommended
"...Of course even as Iris is dark, the Cirque itself is hardly absent from the LA area. Ovo is enchanting crowds at the Santa Monica Pier with its adept blend of spectacular circus acts with insect and arachnid costumes and set pieces suggesting tropical flora."
OC Register- Recommended
"...Kids will love the characters. Adults will admire Vandal's costumes and Gringo Cardia's tropical set, which includes giant flowers that slowly unfurl. And everyone's heart will stop for a moment when the high-wire acts try to convince us that these bugs really can fly."

"...Most of us hate bugs, but once you've witnessed the color Cirque brings to the insect world, you may value them just a bit more highly than before."
