Photos: Cirque Du Soleil OVO Visits Times Square and The Museum of Broadway

On June 6, visitors to The Museum of Broadway were surprised with a special treat as Cirque du Soleil’s iconic show OVO took over the museum for a pop-up performance, Q&A, and some incredible photos.  OVO arrives in the greater NYC area this summer (Newark’s Prudential Center, June 20-22 and Elmont’s UBS Arena, August 15-18).

Handstand contortionist Kyle Cragle wowed visitors with a routine and answered questions submitted by audience members at the event.  Then Kyle, in full costume and make-up, took a tour of the Museum while capturing photos interacting in various exhibitions featuring popular Broadway shows Cabaret, Moulin Rouge, A Chorus Line, The Wiz, and more.

Later, visitors of Times Square got an added attraction as Kyle posed for photos in one of the most recognizable locations in the world.
