We saw Drawn to Life not long after it first opened.
I have not looked at others' reviews, and didn't realize there were some negative.
We love Cirque du Soleil, and and have seen La Nouba (the show prior to Drawn to Life) several times. We absolutely loved it, so it was hard not to comapare the two. My honest review... I say go! It's a good show. We loved so much of it, and were meh about some parts of it too. But overall, it is indeed a great date night!
We were so excited to get back to seeing shows after Covid, so that in itself was great!
We loved the Disney theme and how the story, music and 'animation' is all tied together.
There were some scenes that I cried throughout.
Just our opinion, but I would say the downsides were that we didn't feel there were as many cool cirque acts as in the previous show. The ones they chose for this show are fun but not mesmerizing like some others. Also, the story line wasn't as fluid as we thought it could be, and felt disconnected. We got where it was going though, so it was fine.
Overall, it was good. Sometimes I think we have such high expectations (was my case) that is why people are disappointed.
It was a great night out, we did the early show with dinner in Disney Springs as well. If you go, enjoy!
