THIS IS A SHOW NOT TO BE MISSED! 
It’s a cirque show, Broadway musical, holiday spectacular, and family show all in one. From the creators of the groundbreaking Broadway hit Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, Cirque Dreams Holidaze is "so full of energy it could end our dependence on oil," according to the New York Daily News, and "a delicious confection of charm, sparkle and talent by the sleigh load." The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle raves, "even the Grinch would be impressed with this Christmas wonderland." "Stuffed with so much holiday cheer and audacious acts, Scrooge would exit with a big ol' smile on his face," hails the Erie Times News about this "Broadway-worthy spectacle." "The perfect way to come in from the cold, forget the holiday stresses and find the magic of the season" proclaims The Oakland Press. Don't miss this international sensation that "Dazzled…at The Kennedy Center" according to the Washington Post. 

      

In Cirque Dreams Holidaze, Broadway director Neil Goldberg reimagines the holiday season with over 300 costumes, 20 acts, and 30 performers from 12 countries showcasing an endless variety of imaginative, heart-pounding and gravity defying feats you have to see to believe. Experience gingerbread men flipping mid air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires along with snowmen, icemen and penguins, balancing, jumping, and spinning in disbelief. The show celebrates the most wonderful time of the year with singers, choreography, and exciting production numbers. Performers and costumed ornament characters twirl, bounce and soar thru the air to original music and seasonal favorites brought to life within a stage setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes, and 30-foot towering trees & soldiers creating a larger than life wonderland of amazement.

Says Creator/Director Goldberg, “Cirque Dreams Holidaze celebrates our brand with an over 20-year tradition of spectacular family entertainment presented in hometown cities across the country. There aren’t enough shows today where mom and dad can bring the kids and grandparents, make it a date night, fun time for teens, and entertain so many generations with…’how did they do that’, ‘wow,’ and ‘amazing’. This holiday celebration is a gift for everyone.”
