Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy to Play Chicago in Dec.

JAM Theatricals will present the internationally acclaimed Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, which will make its Chicago premiere this holiday season - playing a limited one-week engagement at The Chicago Theatre (175 N. State St.) from December 26 - 31, 2007. 

"In the spirit of the successful international touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux and Cirque Dreams comes the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry from Cirque Productions, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, a colorful dream in an enchanted forest performed on stage and in the air.  An international cast of graceful aerialists, spine bending contortionists, vine swinging characters, strongmen and balancers bring this jungle dream to life in a lush, Broadway setting filled with wildly unpredictable designs, special effects, inventive choreography, puppeteering and dazzling costumes.  Imaginative theatrics combined with world-class acrobatics make Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy an exhilarating journey the entire family can experience together," state press materials.

Produced by Cirque Productions and Artistic Director Neil Goldberg, the production is "a non-stop, action-packed two-hour adventure performed in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities, and brings seemingly impossible feats to the stage."

Goldberg's signature style of inventive acrobatics, unique costumes and creative choreography is enhanced by a clever original musical score that heats up the jungle and presents some of the most striking visual and special effects ever on stage.  The whimsical jungle creatures and loose-limbed acrobatic characters of Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy will leap from the depths of imagination beyond the dreams of audiences.

Presented by JAM Theatricals, the show will play The Chicago Theatre (175 N. State St.) for a limited holiday one-week engagement from December 26 - 31, 2007.
