DIRECT FROM BROADWAY, CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY has been proclaimed, "The grandest circus spectacle east of Vegas" by New York Magazine. The show, which made its Broadway debut in June 2008, is the first of its kind ever to perform on Broadway. This groundbreaking theatrical, acrobatic and musical adventure was this past summers must see Broadway entertainment sensation for audiences of all ages. CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY now soars into the Palace Theatre at PlayhouseSquare beginning April 24-26 for 5 performances only. Tickets are on sale now.

Created and directed by Neil Goldberg, CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY is an exotic encounter inspired by nature's unpredictable creations that are brought to life by an international cast of 25 soaring aerialists, spine-bending contortionists, acrobats, jugglers and musicians. The astounding feats performed in this action packed Cirque Dream are enhanced with over 150 spectacular costumes and set in a fantastical jungle ignited by striking visual effects. From the breathtaking aerial ballet of butterflies to the balancing giraffes, gigantic flowers and trees, this world-class explosion of athleticism, theatre and imagination will exhilarate and entertain audiences of all ages.

CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY is the latest brainchild of Goldberg's theatrical imagination and Cirque Productions, creators of international performance and touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux, Cirque Dreams Pandemonia, Cirque Dreams Coobrila, Cirque Dreams Illumination and Cirque Dreams Holidaze. Over one million fans throughout the U.S. have attended a Cirque Dreams show in the last year.

"CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY remains true to my original CIRQUE DREAMS vision which began with the company in 1993 - to blend European artistry with circus and Broadway theatrics in a dramatic fashion that transcends imagination, leaves its narration to the eyes of the beholder, and offers something for everyone" says Goldberg. The New York Post agrees and proclaims CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY "Dazzling...a highly theatrical presentation replete with elaborate scenery and wall-to-wall music", and for children whose passion is gymnastics or jungle fauna, the New York Times says, "Waste no shekels on tickets for The Lion King. This is the show for you."

The New York Daily News hails CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY "Colorful, imaginative and expertly performed...a fantasy worth indulging." USA Today raves, "Dazzling! A fantastical tale of an enchanted jungle", the Associated Press recommends it as "A family friendly, mind-bending extravagant spectacle" and the L.A. Times "Jaw dropping! A whiz-bang family friendly spectacle." Critics and audiences alike have praised Cirque Dreams shows as "A circus to blow your circuits" (San Diego Union Tribune), "Executed to perfection." (Chicago Sun Times) and "Pure talent on a stage. A breath of fresh jungle air" (The New Yorker).
