Totem Cirque Du Soleil

For the high tix price points and comparison to other Cirque shows, this one just didn’t cut it.
The story line just didn’t flow and was kind of random. The acrobats were amazing, there just weren’t as many as the other shows.
Not the best cirque, but was still good if you have never seen one of their shows.

My first Cirque show and it was wow, awesome! Looking forward to booking one in Las Vages!

we paid to dollars to see this show. The parking was $ 20.00 no choice so HAD to pay… I thought this was abusive, since they give you no choice, and they don’t tell you ahead of time. The show itself was simply spectacular from the beginning. One thing I did not care for is that I noticed the use of feathers, a cow hide, and animal fur in their costumes. They become famous for being a cruelty free circus, so I don’t understand why they had to use real leather, fur and feathers here…

This show was extremely amazing. This is my 4^th Cirque Du Soleil show I have seen and just like the others it did not dissapoint. The costumes are just incredible, the special effects are amazing, and the performers are just anatomically perfect.
I disagree with Enid V’s tip of «Very sexual show». I did not see any sexual parts at all, and it was perfect for children and I took my 6 year old girl. Daniel U.– $ 20 for parking is the norm for special event performances, that’s how much I usually pay anywhere including the the performing arts centers; and the seats are for an average person not accomodating for the extremely obese people… that’s just the way temporary chapiteau tents work. I wanted to get a souvenir and I found a $ 15 shirt (the shirts were expensive! $ 39 – 79) that was on sale, and a plush puppet cute frog.
Overall, if you are a cirque du soleil fan like myself, then definitely this show is worth going to. And yes you can bring the kiddies, and yes bring lots of cash :-)

$ 20 for parking.
Totem was one of my favorites. Most of the acts were original. A few were similar to other cirque shows. Overall it was very flashy and fun. A must see!

Awesome experience. We did the VIP Tapis Rouge. The service, food, and drinks were too notch. The show Totem was an amazing and stunning show. Since we did the VIP we had no issues with parking

Show was great but beware parking is $ 20, cash only and concessions are ridiculously expensive, if i’d known i would have brought my own.

One of the most amazing travelling Cirque Shows I have seen. We sat in the front row, and although there are no bad seats in the house, we like to sit in all different places and get a different experience. I loved every act and the music was spectacular! Definitley bring $ 20 CASH to park though.

They charge $ 20 cash for parking. Seats were so cramped I couldn’t move without touching the person next to me. All they sold was unhealthy overpriced circus food. Some parts of the show didn’t make sense with the story. After paying $ 200 for 2 level one tickets I would not recommend it. After the show parking was a mess, took me 20 min to leave.

This show was amazing we sat right in the center of the stage. I recommend if you have not seen this show you should. It is over at Sun Life stadium. The only problem was with the parking. There are no letters to show were you can is parked. There are people to direct you to park when you arrive when you leave you seen people circling around to try to remember where were car was parked. I think they can organize it better especially when they charge $ 20 to park your car.

Totem was great! Very inspiring to one’s senses. More aerial acts would have added to the beautiful set. It’s a shame Sun life’s parking mgmt is such a mess. Twenty bucks to squeeze in and a free for all to leave. Remember where you park your car because there’s no signage. You know this because of all the beeps you hear from people using their keyless remotes to find their vehicles. You expect to wait but you also have to watch from all angles because the autos are coming from all directions to sprint to the exit. No signs so you just follow the crowd which is going every which way. Chaotic.

Great show. I have seen 4 or 5 of their other shows and this is right up there with their best. Great choreography, costumes and amazing talent. Buy through groupon if you can and save enough to cover the parking and online fees added to the price.

Disclaimer: After seeing Cirque du Soleil O, no other cirque will compare. Actually, it’s probably not fair to compare.
Totem did not disappoint. The music was great. The acts ranged from good to spectacular. I loved the eye candy guy with the hoops, the amazing girls on the unicycles, and the super sexy couple on roller skates. The skinny bag of bones dude plaing the slicked back haired Italian was hilarious.
Cirque du Soleil’s Grand Chapiteaus are excellent and I doubt that there are many bad seats in the house. Those that are billed as obstructed view will have a pole in your line of vision. I would not pay for those. Every other seat is fine. Even the ones on the sides offered a good view.
I can’t comment on concessions since we had dinner before the show. I think 1 popcorn, 1 soda and candy was about $ 14. A beer was $ 9!!!
Parking is ridiculous at $ 20. You get to park on gravel pavement then walk on the same gravel pavement all the way to the tent. Take this into consideration when choosing your shoes. Getting out of there after the show is another mission. We barely made it out alive since in our fair city folks don’t yield for pedestrians.

I’ve seen several shows on television but until now had never taken the opportunity to see one in person.
Having ordered tickets and reserved the seats online, I had the impression that this would be a grandiose affair in a huge venue filled to the brim with spectators, much like the BB&T Center during a Bocelli concert. Little did I realize until the day of the event that this would take place in a fair-​sized tent holding ~1000−1500 people. The event felt intimate… our seats were in the fourth row from center stage but the tent was compact enough that everyone arguably had the best view in the house with few compromises.
The performance itself was every bit as I would have expected from Cirque. While I’m a bit dubious of the central theme (native american culture?; only a couple routines seemed to touch upon this), it didn’t detract from the breathtaking performances and magnificent musical score.
I would definitely go see this again.

We are a family of Cirque lovers and this one did not disappoint. The actors/​athletes were exceptional and the stage was very integrated into the show. A very enjoyable evening except for the couple behind us who was escorted to the wrong seats by the staff and then confronted by the staff 2 minutes before intermission demanding to see their tickets. One note to to management better signs denoting the parking entrance would create less of a u-​turn mess we found when we arrived.

Ooh look, something shiny!
I’ve seen a ton of Cirque shows and this one makes the top 3, probably in part because I was in the front row. The acts in this show are pretty impressive and span the [mostly Native American] eons of human history, lore and legend.
Prepare to be dazzled by human disco balls, sparkly pizza dough spinners, high-​flying frogs, a quintet of one-​wheeled wonders, ultra-​ripped ring-​swingers, sexy skaters, twisted twin-​tortionists, bouncy moon-​ravers and a super hot Native American hoop slinger.
True, there are a lot of intermittent clown acts but I thought they were better-​executed compared to other Cirque shows. I especially enjoyed the music and performance by Dr. Science and his magical balls of mystery.
The show isn’t actually in SunLife Stadium, its in its own tent off to the side with intimate seating like Kooza was when it came to Bayside. I was worried at first that this would be like Alegria at the Bank Atlantic center with Stadium seating — no bueno.
$ 20 for parking and the show lasts two hours with a 30 minute intermission.
BOTTOM LINE: Totem is a shiny, Cirque treasure so worth seeing!

TOTEM IS A MUST SEE
Ok this was the first Cirque Du Soleil show that I have ever seen, and now I want to go see all of them. I have had friends see them and tell me how great and awesome they are, but their descriptions (and I’m sure mine now) can’t even come close to doing it justice. It is something that you just have to see for yourself.
I was going to buy tickets online but by the time you pay a convenience fee per ticket and a fee to pick up your tickets at will call you get charged an extra twenty plus dollars. So instead we went down to the box office to get them. Be mindful that the box office does not open till six o’clock. We didn’t know this and got there about an hour early. We just waited it out. I ended up talking to people who have seen this Cirque Du Soleil show multiple times. A little old lady was buying tickets so she could see it again with her kids. Lamar, the box office employee helped us get the best seats that he could. Tickets run from $ 35.00-$ 255.00. It all depends on where you want to sit, how close and if you want VIP packages or not. The tent on the inside is not very big so almost every seat is a good seat. We were in section 206 row R. There were only two more rows behind us. Now being that this is a tent, depending on where you sit you will have a pole you might have to look around, but the pole holds the tent up so what can you do.
You start out by seeing the huge tent and a couple of smaller ones set up in the parking lot of Sun Life Stadium. Bright yellow and blue colors. It is cool to look at. When you walk into the first tent you see a box office, souvenir stands and food stands, but they are set up very upscale like. Not your typical circus look or feel. You can walk around and look at everything. Souvenirs are surprisingly inexpensive. They have a deal if you by a program and a CD, its only $ 25 dollars.
Don’t worry if you need to use the restroom, they have real (not port-​a-​potties) restrooms set up on the outsides of the main tent. There is running water and everything lol. They also have sinks with soap to wash your hands after and paper towel.
The show runs about two and a half hours which includes a half hour intermission. This is a very stimulating show, From the music to the lights to all the acts. From the moment it starts I guarantee you will be amazed at the things that happen. The performers grab your attention and hold on to it for the whole show. I’m not going to go into details of what happens in the show because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone. Just know that you will not be disappointed. I look forward to the next Cirque Du Soleil show. I would even see Totem again.

WOW!
Been to a handful of Cirque Du Soleil shows and this one did not disappoint!
Went to Opening Night with none other than Unilocal Miami’s Ringleader, Mr. Johnny T.
This was actually their 1,000 show. That alone is incredible.
From the very opening it is a high energy show with «frogs» jumping all around this dome shaped structure. Every single «scene» is amazing but my hands down favorite was towards the end when a man and woman do an INSANE roller skate routine. Edge of my seat, waiting for something to go wrong but SO SO SO impressive.
I assumed the theme was «nature». They have some native american dance scenes, frogs, monkeys, cave men, etc but then totally threw me off with a futuristic Lady Gaga type section that focused on what I think were diamonds? Perhaps that’s to symbolize man taking from nature… or maybe I am reading too much into it.
The show is perfectly balanced with high energy — high risk, stunts mixed with hilarious comedy. One of the «comedians» actually liked my photo on instagram — which I thought was super cool. So make sure you use those hashtags so they can find you!
The gross mismanagement of parking and concessions will be over looked as I am sure Sun Life Stadium provides those. Parking was like the Wild Wild West with no direction of traffic whatsoever. The concessions were a total mess. Hot sodas, computer/​register crashing, no trays to take your stuff to your seats, trash cans overflowing with garbage, etc. But not even THAT could take away from the show. Plus, the chocolate popcorn was to die for.
AMAZING show and would highly recommend it.
