JAM Theatricals is proud to announce the internationally acclaimed Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy will make its Chicago premiere this holiday season - taking audiences on an all-new soaring adventure with a limited one-week engagement at The Chicago Theatre (175 N.

"In the spirit of the successful international touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux and Cirque Dreams comes the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry from Cirque Productions, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, "a colorful dream in an enchanted forest performed on stage and in the air.  An international cast of graceful aerialists, spine bending contortionists, vine swinging characters, strongmen and balancers bring this jungle dream to life in a lush, Broadway setting filled with wildly unpredictable designs, special effects, inventive choreography, puppeteering and dazzling costumes.  Imaginative theatrics combined with world-class acrobatics make Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy an exhilarating journey the entire family can experience together," explain press notes.

Produced by Cirque Productions and Artistic Director Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is a non-stop, action-packed two-hour adventure performed in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities, and brings seemingly impossible feats to the stage.

Goldberg's signature style of inventive acrobatics, unique costumes and creative choreography is enhanced by a clever original musical score that heats up the jungle and presents some of the most striking visual and special effects ever on stage.  The whimsical jungle creatures and loose-limbed acrobatic characters of Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy will leap from the depths of imagination beyond the dreams of audiences.

Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy will play The Chicago Theatre (175 N. State St.) for a limited holiday one-week engagement from December 26 - 31, 2007. The performance schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, December 26 at 7:30PM; Thursday, December 27 at 1PM & 7:30PM; Friday, December 28 at 7:30PM; Saturday, December 29 at1PM & 7:30PM; Sunday, December 30 at 1PM & 6:30PM; and Monday December 31 at 7:30PM.
