This is one very sharp show. TOTEM is thrilling.

A visual treat and spectacular thrills performed by acts from around the world and the live music accompanying is equally engaging and compliments perfectly. Highly recommend.

What an amazing show. The fitness, skills, and talent of the artists was amazing. The graphics used in the show were breath taking - movement of the water as they walked through it and the emergence of the swimmers from under the stage - timing at it's best We all so enjoyed it and want to see another show!

My partner and I were hooked from the get go. This is what Talent is. Our eyes didn’t leave the stage, we were completely immersed. We’ve both said it’s the best show we have ever been to. The whole concept of Totem, the story, it’s amazing. Highly recommend! The acts were unbelievable

Great venue and absolutely loved it both outside and views of the performance inside. The performance was very entertaining and access to the bar and toilets also good and not crowded. All the staff we encountered were a credit to themselves and and the organisation. Welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

amazing as always the show was very entertaining and a spectacular feast for the eyes. Quite disappointed that the show was delayed presumably to allow latecomers in surely if people are late they have to miss the first half?

Although you cannot take away how talented the performers are, this show felt to me to be very disjointed and I couldn't make out what it had to do with mankind's evolution..... there was also a lot of slapstick comedy that didn't seem to progress the story ... have seen several productions of Cirque du Soleil this was my least favourite. Not enough Ariel work which I alway find breathtaking. The show was stopped for 15 mins, the performers were taken off their monocycle's in the middle of their act with no explanation given to the audience.... a good show but a little boring at times

Some good acts but not as exciting and thrilling as Ovo last year. The performance was suspended and no information was given. The interval was longer than planned, so the performance was shorter than expected. Costumes were great as was the music. The vague storyline kept flip flopping between concepts and was not cohesive like last year. A family in front were insistent on taking photos and videoing which obstructed the view even more( see seat review).

It ran later than mentioned online but not sure whether that was with the technical hiccup about 30min into the show.

I have been to many Cirque du Soleil shows and I think this is the first time I felt it was not worth the money. The musics were not as inspired as they could have been, we had a 15-mn interruption during the first half of the show (without any justification) which completely broke the mood and a lot of artists actually made small mistakes during their acts. On the other hand, the second part of the show was quite brilliant, so overall, not bad but not great either.

An absolutely magnificent performance. Was targeted at young and old alike. Lots of humour as well as awe inspiring acrobatics.

This was my third time seeing cirque du Soleil at the royal Albert Hall and previous years I have been very impressed and wowed by the amazing tricks that the talented people perform. Last night my boyfriend and I went to watch Totem and were very excited but came away feeling very disappointed and wasn’t impressed at all. Some of the tricks I had seen before and I felt like nothing was daring or left you on the edge of your seat. At times it actually felt quite boring and I didn’t feel entertained. They’re weren’t many tricks performed at all. There were some mistakes also which were quite noticeable. Very disappointed and I am now doubting whether to return again.

Brilliant individual acts of magic. Some wonderful teamwork. But no narrative to hold it all together and drive it on. So occasionally magical. And for a lot of the time a word that won’t help Cirque to survive:- Boring. (And of course the RAH remains tediously misogynistic, so if your a girl your queue for a pee seems endless)

I went for the acrobatics that Cirque is known for, but in this show it felt like that took up about a quarter of the show with much of it being rather uninspiring mime. The strength and flexibility parts of the show were great, but there was a lot of padding. I wouldn’t rush back.

Highly recommended going to see this production! I'm so gutted I've missed out on their other shows just due to not knowing about them. We had really good seats in stalls, thanks to the 20% discount, you had some of the performers coming into the audience before the show started which was great, I literally sat there for an hour not even realising until the interval came, I've seen some performances and couldn't wait to get to the interval, this was soo much different! The relationship between the trapeze and skaters was so believable, I love the little stories behind each act. The music was such a contrast, I didn't even think there would be live music but there I was bobbing around in my seat, honestly one of the best shows I've watched and if it wasn't for the prices id be back as much as possible!!

Yes once again I attended this fantastic venue for entertainment by way of cirque du Soleil TOTEM another great performance. This time I got a box seat which gave me an good clear view of the performancers not to far away from the stage scene.

Have seen a different troupe in Nottingham to the one doing Totem. All I can say is they are FANTASTIC & mesmerising so worth going to see. There were a couple of really funny bits in Totem, which gave us a good laugh. It was well worth the journey from Derby and back with National Express, all in the day. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Cirque du Soliel ROCKS.

We were a group of four attending this performance and each of us thoroughly enjoyed the show. As usual the performances were all amazing and exciting and with a really effective backdrop. I particularly liked the film effects conveying different landscapes. I also very much liked the music.

Amazing acrobatics; didn’t like the “comic” parts too many and childish! Production not as amazing and exciting as the last Cirque de Soleil show 3 years ago. Great costumes and music.

Did not know what to expect but this show took my breath away. Daredevil acts, gorgeous costumes, wonderful music and really original theme. Totally absorbing!
