Cirque Du Soleil Gets All Cool In Forthcoming Sheffield Arena Show

 
Cirque du Soleil is gliding into the UK with its coolest arena show yet – CRYSTAL. This one of a kind arena show blends circus arts and the world of ice skating in a stunning new production that will take the audience on a journey into a whimsical frozen playground where stunning skating combined with jaw dropping acrobatic feats defy the imagination.

The debut UK tour of CRYSTAL will kick off in Sheffield on March 6

Crystal is the name of a creative young woman who feels misunderstood and out of sync with environment. To escape her reality, she ventures out on a frozen pond and falls through the ice into an upside-down world. This magical show invites audiences to suspend reality and glide into a world that springs into colourful life with astonishing visual projections and an original score that seamlessly blends popular music with the signature sounds of Cirque du Soleil.

Featuring a multitude of ice skating styles from extreme and freelance to figure skating, audiences journey into the wonderful world of Crystal in a unique show that’s set to capture imaginations across the UK for the very first time.

I saw one of their productions in Sheffield a few years ago and went with an open mind - it went far and beyond my expectations.

6 March Sheffield Fly DSA Arena 8pm
7 March Sheffield Fly DSA Arena 4pm and 8pm
8 March Sheffield Fly DSA Arena 1pm
