Cirque Dreams @ The Fox Theatre
In the spirit of the enormously successful tour and PBS special of Cirque Ingenieux comes the latest
show from Cirque Productions, CIRQUE DREAMS. An international cast of acrobats, contortionists,
equilibrists and aerialists are ignited under an ultra violet multi million-dollar stage set into
some of the most amazing feats and performances ever witnessed on stage and in the air. With over 200
inventive and black lit reflective costumes and an original music score, CIRQUE DREAMS is a 90 minute,
2 act Technicolor experience. Follow the characters as they appear from the audience, magically
transform through illusion inside a towering clock and emerge in time with intense color, extreme
artistry and vivid imagination. Tickets are $19-$55.

Akin as Laura. Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. on behalf of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee.

is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West
and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years. When WICKED opened
on Broadway, it worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. The show went on to win 15 major
awards, including the Grammy and 3 Tony Awards." Today, WICKED is "Broadwayís biggest blockbuster."
