Cirque Dreams on Broadway Opens June 16
Posted June 11, 2008
Note: We hadn't heard any publicity about this at all, but we
happened to walk by the theater and the marquis caught our eye. The
video monitors include footage or several acts we could recognize if
not name, including the shaman drum juggler from YouTube and that
bounce juggler who wears a mask on the top of his head so it looks at
the audience even while he looks down at his pattern. The text that
follows is all from the company's promotional website.
Cirque Dreams: Jungle Fantasy - Extravaganza
In the ongoing tradition of extravagant touring shows, Neil Goldberg
and Cirque Productions continue to blend European artistry with circus
and Broadway theatrics in a dramatic fashion that transcends
imagination and leaves its narration to the eyes of the beholder.
Cirque Dreams' Jungle Fantasy is an exotic encounter inspired by
nature's unpredictable creations that are brought to life by an
international cast of 25 soaring aerialists, spine-bending
contortionists, acrobats, jugglers, and musicians. The astounding
feats performed in this action packed Cirque Dream are enhanced with
over 150 spectacular costumes and set in a fantastical jungle ignited
by striking visual effects. From the breathtaking aerial ballet of
butterflies to the balancing giraffes, gigantic flowers and trees,
this world-class explosion of athleticism, theatre, and imagination is
a Broadway first.
