Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Cirque Dreams,” a stunts-and-spandex spectacular that opened Thursday night at the Broadway Theater, is ideally suited for children ages 6 to 12 with an advanced interest in either jungle fauna, gymnastics or sequins. If your child has a passion for all three, by all means waste no shekels on tickets for “The Lion King.” This is the show for you."

VARIETY REVIEW:
"It almost makes you nostalgic for the bad old days when carnies were carnies -- the sawdust-smelling, animal-exploiting, itinerant tent trash who’d never dream of signing up for mime school or an interpretive dance class. The circus as high-tech, new age musical spectacular is now so ubiquitous it’s hard not to glaze over at the pyramids of rubber-spined contortionists, the human wheels or rippling towers of handstanding beefcake. But audiences still eager to “ooh” and “aah” at those sights can get their fill of luridly costumed acrobatics in “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy,” playing a 10-week summer engagement at the Broadway Theater."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Just as "Cirque Dreams: Jungle Fantasy" is about to begin, a guy dressed up like a tortoise starts creeping across the forest floor. "The show will begin," a voice booms, "as soon as the turtle gets out of the jungle."

THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"DON'T be fooled by the title: "Cirque Dreams Jungle Fan tasy" isn't a Cirque du Soleil extravaganza. Rather, it's the brainchild of Neal Goldberg and his South Florida-based Cirque Productions, which enjoyed an extensive national tour before kicking off its limited Broadway run last night."

AMNY REVIEW:
"Don't be misled by the title. Cirque Dreams is not Cirque du Soleil. In fact, Cirque du Soleil even sued Cirque Dreams for trademark infringement. But in fairness to Cirque Dreams, the court found that "cirque," French for circus, is too generic for Cirque du Soleil to claim possession."

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"Despite what you might be thinking, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy doesn't come to us from the Cirque du Soleil folks; it emanates from Fort Lauderdale-based Cirque Productions. But artistic director Neil Goldberg -- who created and directed this long-touring show and has now carted it to Broadway -- clearly knows the ins-and-outs of the formula: Connect a series of circus acts with a loose theme that allows set and costume designers to go to town."
