SUMMARY:Cirque Dreams Holidaze
DESCRIPTION:The Circus Does Christmas!\nA specially themed holiday show\, Holidaze sees various Christmas ornaments magicked to life as the seasoned troupe of 30 performers from over 12 different countries combine their talents into 20 acts\, transforming themselves into costumed characters and perform astonishing feats that celebrate the holiday season with spectacle\, imagination and whimsical joy. \nCirque Dreams: Holidaze has been entertaining its fans\, young and old for the better part of a decade\, and now you can experience the magic for yourself! \nWhat To Expect From This Cirque Show?\nLike any true circus\, this show has no rigid narrative structure to follow\, but the action takes part as a series of spectacular vignettes. Marvel at gingerbread men flipping through the air\, toy soldiers skillfully marching on thin wires\, snowmen daringly balancing\, icemen sculpting powerfully\, penguins spinning\, puppets caroling and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment. \nAn original musical score is combined with some of America’s holiday favorites\, and forms part of the spectacle along with dazzling costumes and a sparkling stage set. Cirque Dreams Holidaze is quite honestly the perfect gift for the entire family to get together and enjoy! \n  \n  \n***Description from website
