Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

Boring! Too much of a juggling-​circus act– not enough of the animals/​pet tricks! NOT worth the money!

Ok show, expected more Animal acts. Don’t pay extra for the VIP tickets, the Theather is small and any seat is more then good enough. Would not recommend it to friends or family.

Yes, yes, yes. Fantastic show and real live excellence! As a professional musician I can see how much went into this show. To maintain this type of excellence the whole team must work hours and hours every day! Just amazing the love and passion the whole group brings to their craft! And funny with great timing too!!!

Not worth the money! I may recommend this show to kids ages 2 – 5 but that’s it. We were under the impression that this show would be pets doing cool tricks but it was mainly just three dudes juggling and doing basic circus tricks on stage. I wouldn’t recommend it to adults!

I went last night with some of my younger cousins and it was so adorable. They have so many animals and the tricks they can do are amazing. The mini horse was my youngest cousin’s favorite. The line to get the tickets was long, but I followed the instructions and went an hour early to get the tickets and it wasn’t that bad. I also had VIP seats so that the kids could see, but it looked like they would have been able to see from any seat in the room.
I love animals and I would definitely come see this show again.

Highly recommend this fun show with kids and for adults as well. I think I enjoyed the show more than my kids. Ha! I liked the mixture of animal tricks along with acrobatics and circus-​like tricks. Glad we didn’t pay full price though (family of 4 on a budget). We couldn’t afford to attend the show at full price. Got discounted tickets through
. The site seems like the only trustworthy discount ticket place. I would attend this show again.

I saw the show May 31^st, a Tuesday night, same as Kyle who posted a review. He saw the same thing I saw with the goose. We were able to see the offside of back stage from our side-​angle seats. First horrifying thing that happened, the goose was waddling off stage and stopped short, a stage hand reached out and SNATCHED the goose by the neck, yanking it off stage, NO EXAGGERATION. It reminded me of how my mom killed chickens on the farm in the 1940’s. The white poodle has a significant external ear injury and possible ear infection, as it kept pawing at it. The wire fox terriers seemed to have eye issues, perhaps conjunctivitis. The handling of the cats going into to apartment building was VERY ROUGH, could see them being picked up with a swift hand, yanked up, and tossed to the upper level behind the apartment bldg prop. The animals looked mostly healthy otherwise, clearly not starved, but all dogs lacked that happy spark in their body language and eyes. They look so very sad.
I myself am very sensitive and keen to wire fox terriers, their body language, and normal spunky character. I actually was crying while watching them for 2 reasons: 1– my WFT died just 4 months ago of cancer at 13 yrs old; 2– because the 2 WFTs in the show were clearly not themselves as WFTs, not anything like true wire fox behavior, fashion, and spunk. These 2 were reserved, slow to move, very sad eyes and body language (tails not active at all), acting like they had to obey out of fear. Wires attach themselves to a person and thrive on love from that one person. These clearly do not have their «person» to love or be loved by. I was very upset to see eyes that lacked lively spunk, love, and showed no happiness. Their eyes screamed, «Save me!!» My heart broke, I wanted to take them with me.

My friend wanted to see this show with me a few months ago, and boy was it terrible. I’ve always had a feeling that shows like these were shady as it involved animals. Perphaps, I was bias upon seeing it, but I just can’t help but think of these poor animals.
For the show itself, it was terrible. I went on a slow day where not even half of the theater was filled. I’m glad that there was not a lot of acts that involved animals, but that’s also pretty disappointing as a consumer. Many parts of it were circus acts done by Popovich himself and his helpers. I never thought I would watch a show this before. As in people seemed to clap just out of pity. Perhaps it was just a bad day or a tough crowd, but it was cringe worthy.
The animals themselves were very talented. I never knew that you could train cats and others to be so disciplined. I definitely enjoyed seeing them do their magic!
Still, after reading the animal abuse allegations, I couldn’t help but feel biased about this show. If you don’t know about it, I suggest you Google it. After that, please consider a second thought before purchasing your tickets.

BOR-​ING!
I took my 11 and 13 yr old nieces to see this show. They giggled a few times but were bored most of the time. The dogs push carts around and hand the actors objects but I think they were expecting to see something spectacular, like dogs doing back flips in unison. Also, a good majority of the show is Popovich’s solo act which should just be cut out altogether. All he does in his solo act is act like a sad clown/​mime? I didn’t really get what that was about and it lasted way too long. It was like, «When is this guy gonna get off the stage so we can watch the animals?» It really fell flat.

We thought there would be more animals acts but my main issue with this show is that the animals looked miserable and it appears they are not treated very well, I was in row BB seats 5 and 6 so we had a limited view of back stage. When the geese came out for the show one of them was running to exit the stage and it began to hesitate. I then saw one of the stage hands grab a goose by the neck and yank it back behind the curtain; when I say yank I am not exaggerating I cringed when I saw the force used to snatch this goose up by its neck. Now I understand why the geese didn’t want go over there. The show had some cool tricks but after seeing that I couldn’t enjoy it.

This review is for the show that came to our town.
The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 was because of the animals, they were great and I like the concept of using shelter animals in the show. The first problem was the animals are really only in half the show. The other half is Popovich dropping juggling sticks and his hat 80% of the time during his routine. He seemed to be rushing through the whole show and dropped an animal more than once (they seemed fine). There are a few other men in the show who’s performances were ok. The scenery is out of date and shabby. The video they show multiple times during the show seems to be off a computer, as you can see the commands at the bo ttom of the screen and once they had to go through ones we already saw to get to the right one! The audio was either so loud it was uncomfortable or so quiet you couldn’t tell what he was saying. The show also was only an hour and 15 minutes. I am very disappointed that we wasted almost $ 100 for the 3 of us to go… not worth it at all!

Super adorable show! The kids were screaming with excitement and we had a huge variety of ages with us. A teenager of 15 years old was taken back with the puppies and Guinea pigs. The kids of 4 and 2 had many questions and smiles. Even the 9 month old enjoyed the light show when the lights went out. Perfect family outing for all ages.

Awesome show! Got VIP tickets for the family for my moms birthday. I was able to score discounted tickets from the Caesars Entertainment group and that made the show even more worth it! Mom loves animals so after doing some research I decided to go with the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater. Best decision I’ve ever made in Vegas. This is a great show for the family. Everyone in my party enjoyed the show and we were talking about it even after we left.
Popovich and his crew have done a fine job training all the animals that are part of the show. Theres a message within the show and it is to always consider adopting a pet from a local shelter before going to buy one from a breeder. There are thousands of pets at shelters that are waiting to be adopted. Many of these animals are euthanized if they dont get adopted on time. Help minimize the animal shelter population by adopting and by getting your pets fixed so they dont have large litters that end up stray on the streets.
The show runs about an hour and 15 minutes and has parrots, cats, dogs, mini horse, mice and more. The only thing they’re missing is FISH! If they trained some fish and added it to the show they would have everything! The animals are all very intelligent and entertaining to watch. Most of the show involves the animals and of it is a comedy theater performed by Popovich and his crew. Both acts are fun and will keep you laughing.
I recommend this show if you’re looking for a fun family friendly show in Vegas.

I first took my oldest daughter Jackie about 10 years ago when Popovich was performing with his daughter. The show was just as exciting for Isabella my five-​year-​old as it was for Jackie. Popovich is a legend in Las Vegas in his show is well worth seeing.

awesome show!!! For animal lovers and kids and ppl of all ages it’s a perfect fun show! Amazing how he trained the cats too loving story behind the show

We went to vegas for a family get together (3 kids 5 – 10 yr) and wanted to find a family friendly show that didn’t break the bank. Believe it or not, there aren’t many options. I came across this show and didn’t know what to expect. We found a great deal on groupon (around $ 20 for GA and $ 13 for kids). I debated paying extra for the VIP reserved seats but didnt.
We arrived at 3:30pm for the 4pm show and found quite a line at the theater. I was a tad nervous since our tickets were GA. But then I realized that people there were lining up to pick up tickets to other shows. When I got to the front, they asked if I wanted to pay $ 10 per ticket extra to upgrade to the VIP section (assigned seats). I declined again and am very glad that I did. By the time we entered the theater, it was around 3:50pm and all of the people waited had already entered. We were seated about 2 – 3 rows back on the side. We could see pretty well except for the side. But all in all, great view.
The show was great for kids. Good mix of animals, comedy, and circus act. The kids were entertained throughout and the show really didn’t drag. 90mins was perfect.
I think the show for its value was on point. I didn’t have any expectations so I was not disappointed.
Tip: The theater is in the back of the mall. Do not valet at the casino/​hotel (would be a long walk). Park in the structure.

Enjoyed hearing kids’ laughter throughout the show. Very entertaining.
Takes talent to train pets to do such cool tricks. Highly recommend it for the entire family.

The show is not very entertaining. The seating arrangements are horrible. Even though we had reservations our group was separated and on the way out one of our children got lost. Also, some back seats are are Lower and therefore you may not be able to see the animals. Refer to the picturess. The staff is extremely rude and could care less that they’ve seated you were you can’t see anything. I had to complain twice and ask to see the manager before u was finally switched to another seat. I was looking forward to this with my children I’m so disappointed and feel like I wasted my money. Please spend a few more dollars and go else where.

Such a great show!!! My husband and I went and had such a fun time! Mr. Popovich is awesome and it’s truly amazing what he has trained the animals to do!
We kept hearing what a great family show this was, so I was hesitant to go since we don’t have small children, but I’m so glad we went! Loved it! It was truly entertaining and such a value! I would highly recommend seeing this show!

A bit juvenile for an 11 year old. But the show was cute and enjoyable. More appropriate for younger kids.
