"I'm in Wabash right now, rehearsing and tech-ing and opening the tour that's going to be coming to you, and then I head to Providence to open the second tour." He's got a company in Nashville, Tenn., that will soon open a two-month sit-down at the Grand Ole Opry and another sit-down company that will spend six weeks in Orlando, Fla.Īnd Holidaze is only one of the shows operating under the Cirque Dreams brand. "The demand just keeps growing because of the spectacle and what the show has become," he explains. For one thing, he's got four Cirque Dreams Holidaze companies performing more or less simultaneously. It's really a very fine-tuned, well-choreographed stage production with live singing and dancing and production numbers, all centered that one special highlight performance that we've scoured the globe to find for each one these scenes." "Some of them have been in our other shows, some are very new to America - their acts have never been seen before. "These 30 performers come from 10-11 different countries," Goldberg says. In addition to the flying, balancing and gravity-defying cirque feats, there will be theatrical production numbers, illusions and costumed characters - more than 300 costumes, in fact, on snowmen, penguins, candles, reindeer, toy soldiers, gingerbread men, ornaments and Santa Claus. For young people, it's like a kaleidoscope of color." Most people sit at home with Scotch tape and scissors and wrap gifts we fly through the air, and the ribbons are swirling all over the audience with hanging from them. Snow and winter and wrapping presents and everything your imagination can conjure, we have a scene that we bring to life onstage to help families relive their childhood and reminisce the fun part of the holiday season. Every scene tells its own story about the holiday season, so we touch on Thanksgiving, New Year's, Hanukkah, Christmas. Back in 2012, there were probably 12 or 13. Now, we don't let anything happen for more than 4 minutes and 30 seconds max, before we're moving on to something else. "We take into consideration attention span. "We weren't as social media savvy five years ago," explains Goldberg, who founded Cirque Dreams in 1993. To begin with, the show, on its 10th anniversary national tour, will feature more than twice as many acts this time, all of them getting approximately half the stage time, when it hits Robinson Center Performance Hall on Wednesday night.
