CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE lights up the 2012 holiday season when it transforms stages across the nation and overseas into a wonderland of fantasy and glorious disbelief. Cirque Dreams, an American theatrical Production Company, brings its critically acclaimed entertainment brand to U.S. service members and their families overseas while simultaneously touring two productions throughout America for the 4th consecutive holiday season.

Created and directed by Neil Goldberg, creator of the groundbreaking Broadway hit CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY, CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE is "so full of energy it could end our dependence on oil" according to the New York Daily News and "a delicious confection of charm, sparkle and talent by the sleigh load." The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle raves, "even the Grinch would be impressed with this Christmas wonderland." "Stuffed with so much holiday cheer and audacious acts, Scrooge would exit with a big ol' smile on his face," hails the Erie Times News about this "Broadway-worthy spectacle." "The perfect way to come in from the cold, forget the holiday stresses and find the magic of the season" proclaims The Oakland Press. Don't miss the international sensation that "Dazzled…at The Kennedy Center" according to the Washington Post.

Renowned director Neil Goldberg, creator of the groundbreaking Broadway hit CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY, re-imagines the holiday season with CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE. An international cast of multi-talented and brilliantly costumed artists come to life and perform astonishing feats of disbelief. Experience gingerbread men flipping mid air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing, icemen powerfully sculpting, penguins spinning, puppets dancing and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment. An original music score and some seasonal favorites accompany hundreds of astonishing costumes and holiday dreams in a setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and 30-foot towering soldiers creating a wonderland of spectacle.

In January 2012, the creation of the first ever Cirque Dreams World Tour performed at 17 U.S. military bases throughout 10 countries. Says U.S. Col. Kathleen Witherspoon, Chief, Armed Forces Entertainment “I had the opportunity to experience firsthand the Cirque Dreams Holidaze performance at the Kennedy Center and see the tremendous impact … the pledge of support Cirque Dreams is making to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines as a way to say ‘Thank you for your service’ is awesome.” Cirque Dreams Holidaze will now tour Korea performing at 5 U.S. military bases entertaining over 150,000 service members and their families to date.

Says Creator/Director Goldberg, “Cirque Dreams Holidaze continues in the spirit of our brand first established in 1993…to present quality, family entertainment throughout the world integrating limitless imagination with multiple performance genres. We are proud to share our creations and bring joy to so many.”
