We will be in QC in a couple weeks and want to go to the Cirque du Soleil one evening. I'd like to make reservations and pay for a seat. Should we make the reservations before we leave or can we wait until we're there and see what night works best? Same question regarding restaurants-if we want to splurge at a great restaurant, should we make the reservations now? Thanks!

On the Cirque du Soleil website , check to see what seats are available for some of the nights you will be in QC. My guess is that the best seats are already gone, but that's just a guess.

There is one show called 'AMALUNA' playing right now. 'Micheal Jackson The Immortal Tour' starts on the 6th of July. here is the link to the website.

Hope this help! I have been to one and going to my second one in september, they are spectacular!

Have fun!

We saw Amaluna in Montreal, bought tickets months in advance, and had good seats. Even though the show was almost sold out, I believe there were still a few seats available at the performance. If I were you I would go out to their website and pick put some good seats ASAP.
ps: Amaluna was amazing!

Also for Cirque du soleil, you should make reservations now, coz seats go fast.

For resturants, it shouldn't be a big deal, if your there for a few days am sure you have plenty of time to go to your favorite resturants, but if you have some specific resturants in mind, there is no harm in calling them up and asking them if they reserve or if its first come first serve, if it is reserve you can make the reservation right away. Its always good to be prepared in advance than taking chances.

Thanks all! I did make the reservations today and am in row Z so it's a good thing I did it NOW.
