CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION will ignite an entertainment spectacle onstage at the BASS PERFORMANCE HALL NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 5. Cirque Dreams, an American theatrical production company, brings its critically acclaimed entertainment brand to Fort Worth for eight illuminating performances. Created and directed by Neil Goldberg, creator of the groundbreaking hit CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY, CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION is "as much rock concert as visual spectacle with enough style to make the cover of Vogue" says the Naples Daily News and "full of street-smart stunts and acrobatic invention" raves The Columbus Dispatch. With "energetic music, stunning costumes and astounding effects" proclaimed by The Times News, CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION is "dazzling...a reason to stand up and cheer" according to The New York Daily News. "Each time you think you've seen it all, well, you haven't" hails the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. "If you want lively and highly skilled entertainment that multiple generations will surely enjoy, prepare for Illumination" says the Chicago Tribune. Tickets are on sale now!

CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION blends world renowned imagination, critically acclaimed theatrical innovation and breathtaking presentation into a story that illuminates a city of everyday people, workers and pedestrians into feats of disbelief. Marvel as dozens of world-class artists illuminate objects, balance on wires, leap structures and redefine flight with entertaining variety, comedy and extraordinary occurrences that reinvent everyday life. Urban acrobatics, dazzling choreography and brilliant illusions are ignited by special effects performed to a stylish original score of jazz, salsa, ballroom, pop and trendy beats from the streets.
Says Creator/Director Goldberg, "Cirque Dreams Illumination follows in the spirit of the Cirque Dreams entertainment brand first established in 1993...to produce high quality, affordable family entertainment that blends multiple performance genres and Broadway theatrics with international talent, European and American circus artistry and limitless imagination."
More than 50 million fans worldwide have attended a Cirque Dreams show in the past decade. Critics and audiences alike have praised Cirque Dreams shows as "The grandest circus spectacle east of Vegas;" New York Magazine, "A whiz-bang family friendly spectacle;" Los Angeles Times and "brilliantly conceived entertainment for multiple generations, fused with fresh, clever, Goldberg touches" Chicago Tribune. In 2008, Cirque Dreams made Broadway history by presenting Goldberg's CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY at the Broadway Theatre, the first and only show of its kind to ever perform on Broadway. The production recently remounted for a limited 2010 summer engagement at the MGM Grand/Foxwoods featuring the original pop princess, Debbie Gibson, in the singing role of Mother Nature. A new year-round version of the show will open December 1, 2010 at Busch Gardens Tampa. In 2009, the premier of CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE grossed more than 10 million dollars in ticket sales, breaking box office records and entertaining more than 200,000 spectators. For the 2010 holiday season, two touring companies will perform across the country with a featured engagement at the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C. A first-ever CIRQUE DREAMS & DINNER theatrical dining extravaganza on board the new Norwegian EPIC cruise line has been declared "a groundbreaking spectacle among the best, if not the best we have seen at sea", USA Today. Between now and the end of 2010, Cirque Dreams brand shows will perform in over 35 cities across the nation.
