Cirque Dreams Combines Acrobatics, Theatrics
Tuesday night's pilot run of the Cirque Dreams performance bred a family friendly environment full of music and wonder. Two additional shows will be held this week at the Mahaffey Theater.
A diverse crowd of all ages showed up to the Mahaffey Theater on Tuesday night for Cirque Dreams "Pop Goes the Rock".
The audience experienced a visual spectacle that included a live band, a laser light show and a musical journey through the decades. It is one in a series of eight shows that are active inside the world of Cirque Dreams.
Two acts of musical performances and daring acrobatics span generations with songs like "The Heat is On" (Glenn Frey) and "Womanizer" (Britney Spears). Other performance chapters from Cirque Dreams include "Holidaze," "Jungle Fantasy," and "Coobrila."
