With mask requirements implemented and proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test required to enter the theater, Corsi said shows are getting closer to how they used to be. “Things like that, that people do on a year-to-year basis.” “This is one of those shows that will probably start becoming holiday traditions for people, kind of like ‘The Nutcracker’ and ‘Christmas Carol,’ ” Corsi said. The second year the show came through, Corsi said the association was able to get it in the books, and the performance was majorly successful with audiences.Ĭorsi said the future success of “A Magical Cirque Christmas” in Columbus is boundless due to its popularity in years past. “A Magical Cirque Christmas” had already toured for a year before the association was able to get it on the schedule in Columbus, Corsi said. Rich Corsi, vice president of programming at the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts, said the decision to bring “A Magical Cirque Christmas” to Columbus was an easy one. “Combining the groups of artists that we did and their sort of fresh take on circus art or contemporary singing, we felt that this is the beginning of a new Christmas tradition.” “We just wanted to do something that would be a brand new Christmas experience, rather than just a purely nostalgic experience,” Millan said. The use of holiday tunes ensures there is something in the show for everyone, he said. “It elevates all the individual acts, and they feel connected and special.”īy using classically popular holiday songs, Millan said the show is able to put a new spin on something that people already know and love. “The whole thing is encompassed in a kind of unstyled spirit that I think was done right,” Millan said. The format of the show is like Cirque du Soleil’s setup in that way, Millan said. Millan said the show is a variety show, meaning that instead of individual acts performing one at a time, multiple different acts go on stage at the same time, creating a cohesive and entertaining environment. To save Christmas, Millan said Darling must go on a journey, which is where the circus acts come in.
Millan said the story highlights a performer, Lucy Darling - who is also the host - as she helps to ensure the seasons change after the person in charge of that role neglects doing their job. “It’s a show that consistently sort of delivers at a very high level.”
A MAGICAL CIRQUE CHRISTMAS BROOME COUNTY FULL
“It’s full of great music, great magic, great comedy and some of the best young variety circus-style performers in the country,” Millan said. The event features magicians, an award-winning comedy magician and circus acts, including acrobats and trapeze artists, Jim Millan, co-writer and co-director of the show, said.
“A Magical Cirque Christmas,” which follows a whimsical storyline about saving Christmas, is coming to the Palace Theatre Friday at 7:30 p.m.
