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

[brihow]

The La Nouba set without the show taking place looked very bare-bones, a lot changes once the show has started.

I like bare-bones, i just don't like tacky.

The creative direction of the show didn’t really change and, like all cirque shows, acts came in and out of rotation.

They weren’t referring to artistic changes over the life of the show’s run, I don’t believe. My interpretation was that they’re meaning the bare looking set will likely have much more life and sophistication expected of Cirque once we see it during performance, similar to how La Nouba was drab and industrial when the show was dark but could become quite mysterious and dynamic for the show.

I'm debating whether to purchase a ticket for 4/1 or 4/2. From late March to April 16, shows are only at 5:30 pm. Maybe to work out the kinks before they go to two shows a day (5:30 and 8:30) starting April 18.

Interesting time choices. La Nouba was 6PM and 9 PM.

March are technically "preview" dates. The show doesn't officially "premiere" until April 17th. That's why there's only one show per day up until April 18th.

Do you think they'll be doing something special on 4/17 for the "premiere" ?

Got it. I still wouldn't mind going on a preview date. It would be the main show with the understanding that they're still working out the kinks.

I'm guessing it's a longer show so it's bumped up a half-hour to accommodate the extra length.

my guess it since it's Disney themed - earlier showtimes for more kiddos to attend.

If it's anything like the big top premieres, I would say yes.

hopefully I'll be living in Orlando by then. I won't make the 3/21 premiere even though it's the day before my birthday

Interesting...tickets for 4/17 aren't even showing on their site

They don't usually sell tickets to the premiere....even in the big top shows. It's by invite only.

The new show is going to beat La Nouba by a very, very wide margin.

The tech developed specifically for this show is jaw-dropping. Even with Guy no longer at the helm of Cirque, Drawn To Life feels, looks and moves like a legacy production from the directors who worked the heyday of the Vegas properties.

The concept drawings they showed off at D23 gave me a lot of hope. Sounds like I won’t be disappointed.
