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

[Cmdr_Crimson]

All I can think of when I heard the title was that they named it after the Nintendo DS/Wii game of the same name...

Since there will now be a strong Disney influence...am I the only one who won't be satisfied unless we see Mickey riding a unicycle doing backfilps, Minnie swinging/spinning by her ears and Donald & Daisy as ladder, chair and roller balancing team?

Love the name...very clever. Looking forward to another great cirque show

Make it the Country Bears and the Sunbonnets doing aerial acrobatics and you got yourself a show...

So the composer, Benoit Jutras, is also responsible for Mystere, Quidam and Allegria - all of which have amazing soundtracks. He was also the composer for La Nouba and O. Granted those were all long ago, and his work more recently has been a bit scattered per Wikipedia, but it seems that he can make great work. Hopefully he is able to do something great with this one!

That’s great news. Quidam and O are the 2 cirque masterpieces in my book, the music in quidam is simply perfect.

no. I don't want them to dumb-down CDS like that.

Excellent news. Glad to hear that Cirque is bringing their best composer to this.

Did you see the Michael Jackson Cirque show?

Really starting to look forward to this. Can't wait to see what Cirque does and the soundtrack should be amazing.

Happy we finally have a name for the show, too.

No. Not really a MJ fan. Love is done beautifully, however.

I think the new set and costumes looks hideous and cheap. Reminds me of the Magical Map show at Disneyland. I love the idea of making a new show that relates to Disney but this doesn't look very sophisticated.

But you haven't even seen the actual show yet which doesn't premiere until April. At least wait until it finally premieres and see it in motion.

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

I do hope it's better 'in action' but just to have big pieces of paper and around the stage is a very obvious design choice. I wish they had done something more conceptual and abstract.
