New Cirque du Soleil 'Drawn to Life' show in development to replace La Nouba

[TrainsOfDisney]

The rotating fan scene is the weakest scene in the show and a bit overdone in the 'cirque' industry. It would be fine if it wasn't so dang long.

That was my favorite part - but I also love the Old Mill and was so happy they included a fairly obscure IP in that show.

How is the finale act - the big swings? It was really lacking when I saw it.

I swear to god i dont remember so many people being involved in the big swings act. Ive seen it done with 6 women. Then 9 women. All the men were new to me. Maybe it was a covid thing. I sweat the cast grew by double.

But it was more exciting than i remember it being for sure.

The original swings were a big miss for me.

A swing -- powered by others pushing -- throws you into the air... you do a simple acrobatic flip/twist, and you land on super thick mats which the other ladies are holding up off the ground and let go when you land.

And if they're going to land on the other swing, there's no timing. The other team holds the landing-swing up in place for you.

I'm glad they're evolving the acts over time to make the weaker ones better.

Possibly. But I certainly cant do that sh**. So its nice to watch people who can do that, do that.

No rubber band act or feet tumble act tonight. But part of their actors were there in the finale. Must be sick? Idk

Most likely injury. The teeter board act isn’t the same since Jerome’s contract ended.

When I saw the Teeterboard act a couple weeks ago it was really rough…. One of the guys was very solid and did a triple to a mat - but lots of the act was really rocky.

also - only one set of foot juggling, so i
Guess both are out now.

I definitely felt like the show as a whole is in pretty good shape now - much better then when I first saw it.

Are there not any alternates for foot juggling and Teeterboard?
