Robert Diamond from the influential Theatre website BroadwayWorld.com noted, "To say that I'm shocked the show is closing would be an understatement.
There's nothing like a great Cirque experience that makes us all look upon the stage with childlike wonder at the feats of the human body, the artistry and the magic. What made Viva ELVIS special, and akin to their Beatles Love show is that it also layered in the music and the great story of the one-of-a-kind American icon. There never will be another like Elvis Presley, and there likely will never be a Cirque experience quite like Viva ELVIS either, so here's hoping that the show winds up touring or landing elsewhere. Out here - we were all shook up."
