Productions (abridged)

Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy

The show opened at the Broadway theatre in 2008.[2][3] The show re-launched on July 27, 2010, at the MGM Grand Theatre at Foxwoods, Connecticut, for a limited engagement starring Debbie Gibson in the title role of Mother Nature.[4] In 2013, the show was redesigned into a modern dinner theatre experience in partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line, to perform indefinitely on their new Breakaway sailing year-round from NYC.[5]

Cirque Dreams Holidaze

The Cirque Dreams Holidaze show is a winter themed holiday production that debuted in 2007.[6] It features "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."

Cirque Dreams Pandemonia

A show featuring "surreal visual stylings and bursts into the air, sideways and upside-down. Inventive acrobatics and free-ranging whimsy, unleashed in a playground of imagination and Technicolor atmospherics."

Cirque Dreams & Dinner

Norwegian Cruise Line offers a version of the company's shows, which according to USA today is "nothing like anything currently found at sea."[7] The show features aerialists flying overhead, acrobats, contortionists, muscle men, jokesters and musicians all performing while the guests eat dinner. The show's artistic director claims if rough seas take place they will just become part of the show.

Cirque Dreams Coobrila

Exclusively at Six Flags theme parks, this show is billed as "a maze of connecting stages and technical apparatus comes to life in an imaginary land created on the other side of the moon."

Cirque Dreams World Tour

In 2012, Cirque Productions teamed with Armed Forces Entertainment to bring the first Cirque Dreams World Tour to U.S. troops and their families at 17 U.S. military bases in 10 different countries around the world. As of January 23, 2012, the show has already visited Naval Base Guam and several bases in Japan, including Yokota Air Base, Yokosuka Naval Base, Misawa Air Base, and Camp Foster in Okinawa.[8]

Cirque du Soleil filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against them and others in the late 1990s over the use of the word cirque ('circus' in French). After a six-year battle, Cirque Dreams along with others who used the name cirque were successful in defeating the lawsuit.[9][10]
