Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy boasts striking special effects
Produced by Cirque Productions and artistic director Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is a non-stop, action-packed two-hour adventure presented in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities and brings seemingly impossible feats to theatre and the stage. Accompanied by an original score and unique musicians, an international cast of graceful aerialists, spine bending contortionists and vine-swinging characters make this jungle fantasy a dream to remember.
“Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy remains true to my original Cirque Dreams vision which began in 1993 – to present world-class variety entertainment blended with European circus artistry and Broadway Theatrics,” says Goldberg.
This is the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry from Cirque Productions, creators of international performance and touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux, Cirque Dreams Coobrila and Cirque Dreams Illumination.
“This tour is on Broadway seasons across the nation because it features the production values and strong talent you expect from a big Broadway show’amazing costume and scenic design, special lighting effects, and a strong musical score,” said Kathleen O’Brien, TPAC’s president and chief executive officer.
“Artistic Director Neil Goldberg has a well-deserved reputation for extravagant, theatrical performances featuring an international cast of entertainers. ‘Cirque Dreams’ is dazzling entertainment, astonishing and fun for audiences of all ages. This multi-million dollar production has been extremely popular in other cities, especially among family audiences.”
Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is set in an enchanted forest that quickly turns into a Technicolor dream on stage and in the air by presenting some of the most striking visual and special effects right before your very eyes.
