Cirque du Soleil - Ovo

Grand Chapiteau at the Santa Monica Pier
1550 Pacific Coast Highway Santa Monica

Cirque du Soleil makes an exciting return to its Grand Chapiteau at Santa Monica Pier, and some of the best seats are being offered to Goldstar members to buy at full price before they go on sale to the general public. OVO takes you into the colorful, energetic world of insects in these amazing artists' latest breathtaking extravaganza. The insects' daily routine is shaken up by a gawky, quirky new arrival, and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye. With stunning aerial acrobatics and music, this Cirque du Soleil production of OVO is a whimsical wonderland for the whole family.

"..."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."

"... 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."

"...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."

"...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."

"...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."
