During the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products panel at D23 Expo 2019, plans were revealed for a new Cirque du Soleil show at Walt Disney World Resort.
For the first time ever, Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios have teamed up with Cirque to create a show that will combine Disney storytelling with the artistry of the theatrical giant. This new show was first teased back in 2017.
Guests will be transported into the world of animation through acrobatic performances, choreography, music, and whimsical characters bringing Disney stories to life in a new way.
Previews for this new show will start on March 20, 2020, leading up to the world premiere of the show on April 17.
Tickets are now on sale for this brand-new Cirque du Soleil show, and you can purchase yours here.
Can anyone see this new Cirque du Soleil show or do you have to be a D23 Member?
Anyone can see the show, it will be just like La nouba, but with a Disney-centric theme. Should be interesting, though I wish they would stop making every inch of every resort revolve around their IPs. Some of the best classic attractions when Disneyland and disneyworld first opened had nothing to do with a Disney movie, it came from the creative genius of Walt and/or his imagineers. I don’t know if I want to see lots of Disney characters Circ-defied if you will.
Cirque shows at DisneyWorld have been open to anyone who can pay for a ticket, I’m sure that isn’t changing,
