When I saw the invite for VIP tickets to the traveling show Cavalia Odysseo, I was intrigued, but not exactly sure what it really was. I felt like I had heard of the show before, but clearly did not know much about it. After watching the trailer and reading up a bit on it, I was definitely in.
Cavalia is a live performance with 65 horses and 48 artists performing on a stage bigger than the United Center’s ice rink. I kind of describe it like Cirque du Soleil with horses and let me just tell you, it’s truly a feast for the eyes.
Our VIP tickets included an open bar, wonderful dinner buffet, dessert buffet during intermission and a behind-the scenes visit to the horse stables and stage after the show. Learning more about the entire production of the show and meeting some of the horses really made it that much more amazing and special to me. I can’t even imagine how they put the 2,000 seat stadium together under the big top white tent, transport all the gear and equipment (in addition to the horses and everything they need) and make everything one, seamless, unbelievable experience.
Not only was the show spectacular, the service and staff were top-notch. It’s yet again one of those things that words just do no justice. Cavalia is only something that can be experienced. With that, use the code SOCIAL to get 15% off your tickets. It’s worth every single penny. The show is running in Chicago until May 14, so you have a little less than two weeks. Go!
Here are some pictures from my experience (no photography was allowed during the show, so all my pictures are from before, during intermission and after):

Seriously, if you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing this amazing show. Let me know if you go!
Please Note: While I was offered the VIP experience, all opinions are my own.
Huh. This looked super weird to me, though I was kind of curious. I thought their claim that it’s “the best show ever” was a bit much, but now I’m intrigued 🙂
Yeah, even I was not so sure about it, but I was really impressed with the show and thought it was awesome:)
Interesting. I always wondered what that show was about. Trailer looks pretty cool.
