The SG Lifestyle Team was privileged to be able to attend the opening night of the highly acclaimed touring show, Kurios, by Cirque du Soilel which premiered last night on 5 July 2019 and here’s what went down in your latest MUST WATCH in Singapore!
The NEW MUST WATCH: Kurios by Cirque du Soilel in Singapore!
The NEW MUST WATCH: Kurios by Cirque du Soilel in Singapore (Cabinet of Curiosities)
Show Dates: 5 July – 4 August 2019
Show Times: Tues – Fri: 4.30pm, 8pm / Sat: 4.30pm, 8pm / Sun: 1.30pm, 5pm
Show Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes (including a 30 minute intermission)
Show Venue: Under The Big Top: Bayfront Avenue Beside Marina Bay Sands
Show Price: Starts from $99 (including booking fee) from SISTIC or directly from Cirque du Soilel
How to Get There?
Public transportation (Bayfront MRT), Grab, Car to Marina Bay Sands. Walk towards the Event Plaza – it’s the side where you can find Black Tap Singapore and head outdoors.
What to Expect (Review)?
A total of 13 “acts” including the opening and closing featuring acrobats, clowns, trampolines, balancing acts, death defying stunts (perhaps tame, by many people’s standards) and surprisingly, many out of the box, eccentric and creative parts that even caught us by surprise.
We won’t spoil the surprise too much, so here are some snapshots we took as a little pre-filler which we also shared on our IG stories on @sglifestylesingapore that very night!
All in all, expect a good ol’ family-friendly fun and whimsical romp into the Kurios Cabinet of Curiosities, and we enjoyed everything – except probably just one little act which we thought was a little cringey. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic! A MUST WATCH, if you can!
A 20 minute intermission is inclusive as well for that toilet break. Expect queues.
What ELSE to Expect?
Attire
Smart casual wear is suggested. Comfortable wear, it’s really up to you. We suggest bringing a jacket or a shawl as it may get cold during the show.
Food & Drinks
Strictly no outside and drinks are allowed and don’t even think of smuggling food in because bag checks are conducted upon entry, and you will have to dispose any food or drinks (even water) you have.
Don’t fret because you won’t starve. The snack menu prices are still relatively pocket-friendly, but think upscale cinema prices whereby a box of popcorn starts from $8 and a packet of chips from $6.
Oh, and they have alcohol too, priced from $12 onwards for a glass.
Here’s the snack bar’s menu and prices for your reference to prep yourselves. We suggest fueling up before, or after the show.
Souvenirs
Meanwhile, since you’ve already shelled out at least $99+ for the ticket, we’re pretty sure you might be willing to fork out a bit more for the limited edition Kurios memorabilia to take home as a token of your attendance.
Other Notes
Lastly, please note not to be late for the show (or return late after intermission), as latecomers will only be admitted after a suitable time during the show.
To end this off, the SG Lifestyle Team certifies Kurios, by Cirque du Soilel:
