Looking for a jolt of holiday cheer? “Cirque Dreams Holidaze” will be at the Fox Theatre for two days in a holiday show featuring gingerbread men flipping mid air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires along with snowmen, icemen and penguins, balancing, jumping and spinning in disbelief.
It will be at the Fox for just two days — Wednesday, Nov. 23 and Friday, Nov. 25 (the day before, and the day after, Thanksgiving).
The show celebrates the most wonderful time of the year with performers twirling, bouncing and soaring to a mix of original music and holiday classics. The spectacular stage boasts gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and 30-feet tall trees. Take a sneak peek here.
“Cirque Dreams Holidaze celebrates our brand of over 20 years with this unique holiday stage spectacle for the entire family. There aren’t enough shows today where mom and dad can bring the kids and grandparents, make it a date night, fun time for teens and entertain so many generations with…’how did they do that’, ‘wow’ and ‘amazing’. This show has something for everyone,” said creator/director Neil Goldberg in a press release.
Tickets, priced at $45, $55 and $65 are on sale now and available online at www.FoxTheatre.org, by phone at (855) 285-8499, or visiting the Fox theatre Ticket Office. Discounted tickets are available for groups of 10 or more by calling 404-881-2000.
Here are some Holidaze Show Facts
1. There are over 1000 costumes pieces, accessories and props that make up Cirque Dreams Holidaze.
2. It takes the Cirque Dreams Holidaze crew 8 hours to load the show into the theatre and only 2 hours to break it down.
3. It takes an average of 2 to 3 weeks to complete one Cirque Dreams Holidaze costume. There are over 500 hand placed Swarovski Crystals that make up the sparkle on the Ice Queen’s costume.
4. The performers are in incredible shape. Just to be considered for an audition, women must be able to do 50 pushups; men 100 pushups. Also, performers must adhere to a strict regimen of training, which includes 30-minute warm-up and stretch classes, workshops, full rehearsals and performances. According to the creator of the show, each 2-hour-long performance requires the same stamina as an NBA basketball game or NFL football game. While on tour, the performers eat four meals a day, including a post-dinner show.
