Though guests can still purchase a basic ticket to the show (starting at $70 USD), there are now additional packages.

For the first time, this event is combining their shows with a food and drink adventure put on by a world-class team of culinary experts! Though I was fortunate enough to be dazzled with free food and drinks the night I attended, the extravagant culinary experience is a creative new direction for Cirque. I must admit that the culinary experience was almost as impressive as the show! It felt nice to tell myself, “now this feels like Mexico,” which isn’t always easy in heavy tourist destinations. There was also a group of young (and handsome) musicians, playing authentic Mexican music while women were dancing bachata in front! The staff was extremely helpful, and the music was fantastic.Īs an even bigger music snob than I am arts and culture snob, for me to Shazam most the tracks played by the DJ was exciting! Though I don’t drink, free drinks were provided all night, a free bottle of Champagne was neatly placed in an artistic glass design on the table, and amazing appetizers and desserts were provided throughout the evening. What was more exciting was that I was fortunate enough to go on the 1 year anniversary of JOYA Cirque de Soleil! Though I arrived in a pair of Doc Martins and corduroy pants, it brings me joy to report I was treated as no less than royalty! But please, I encourage you to dress up! Ladies use that duty-free perfume! Men wear that tux! Feel great! You will be amazed at the lavishness of your fellow audience members, and even more so by your delightful hostesses who will serve you throughout the night!Ĭirque du Soleil in Mexico – 1 year Anniversary While getting ready for this event I recalled my last Cirque du Soleil experience a transportable tent on the beach of Santa Monica, California where flip flops and tank tops seemed to be the dress code. Your chance to dress up (if you want to – Cirque-Chic!)Īs I continued across the beautiful surroundings, I must admit I felt a bit underdressed. As an audience member you will not simply walk into the theatre you will take a mystic tour through numerous walkways, glistening water, and the beautiful Mexican jungle until you finally reach the theater. What I experienced upon arrival was beyond any and all expectations! Having only been to the touring Cirque de Soleil shows, I was completely stunned by the astounding palapa shaped theatre and beautiful grounds.įire dancers were even floating in canoes across the lake while a lovely costume coordinated jazz trio played the classics. Okay, it was only my boyfriend and myself on the bus, but still. The driver was extremely friendly and made sure the air-conditioning and music were to our liking. Having experienced the touring Cirque de Soleil in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, I was eager to attend this event, though I did not expect to be surrounded with such elegance! My Cirque du Soleil experience – from the beginning…Īfter a private transfer from Plaza Playacar (right in front of the Starbucks), in a comfortable and spacious JOYA coach bus, we were off to the show. I promise, you will not only be mesmerized by the perfectly executed performance, but by the storyline, the food and drink experience, the breath-taking theatre, and well, even your fellow audience members! Please hear me when I say, we are talking about some of the world’s best trained and most talented contortionist, acrobatic gymnasts, dancers, jugglers, and musicians, to name a few.
