Holiday spectacular set to captivate the entire family Nov. 21
The University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances will present “CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE” Friday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. at Reynolds Performance Hall.
“CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE” will captivate audiences this holiday season with a brilliantly breathtaking holiday spectacular for the entire family. As the original cirque holiday theatrical event, this nationally acclaimed annual tradition wraps a Broadway-style production around awe-inspiring contemporary circus arts.
“CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE”
On Christmas Eve, young Clara returns home only to learn that a snowstorm may keep her family from joining her. Just as loneliness begins to settle in, two whimsical singers appear and whisk her away into HOLIDAZE – a fantastical world full of color, wonder and breathtaking circus acts. As she journeys through this magical realm, Clara becomes part of the adventure, forming unexpected friendships and discovering her own courage. A mysterious key unlocks deeper layers of the story, leading her into a more mystical landscape where she fears her family may never return. But, in a joyful twist, Clara is reunited with her loved ones, takes flight in a soaring aerial performance, and joins the entire cast in a heartwarming celebration of imagination, connection and the true spirit of Christmas.
Reimagined for 2025, “CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE” features a world-renowned cast of performers. The ensemble includes aerial circus acts, sleight-of-hand jugglers, fun-loving skippers, eye-popping acrobatics and much more. With new music including beloved holiday favorites sung live, new sets, sparkling scenery and stunning costumes, guests from children to seniors will be on the edge of their seats as holiday characters come to life on the most magical of nights.
Both critics and audiences alike agree that “CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE” is a show for all ages to enjoy, where families can make unforgettable memories together. And Broadway World exclaims, “Lose yourself for 90 minutes and go back to those wonderful dreams you had as a kid.”
