by Jessica Lewis - Jun 21, 2012

Zarkana, the surreal acrobatic spectacle by Cirque du Soleil, has returned to New York at the legendary Radio City Music Hall for a limited engagement through Sunday, September 2 only. Performances began June 6. This week, BroadwayWorld was invited to Radio City for an exclusive backstage tour with the cast and creative team. In our journey, we ventured through the underbelly of the orchestra pit, into arial training central, the depths of the wardobe closet, ladies dressing area and back, catching along the way sand painter extraordinaire Erica Chan, juggling sensation Maria Choodu, wardrobe wizard Randy Handley - keeper of over 1300 Zarkana costumes! - and 'mad swan' Dany Rabello for a complete pre-show experience.
