Cirque Dreams Holidaze, the first show of the Gas South Broadway Series, lights up the 2010 Holiday Season when it transforms the stage at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre into a wonderland of fantasy and disbelief, Tuesday, November 30 – Sunday, December 5, 2010. Cirque Dreams, an American theatrical production company, brings its critically acclaimed entertainment brand to Atlanta for eight holiday performances. Cirque Dreams Holidaze is an original musical extravaganza of ornaments that come to life when costumed characters perform astonishing feats that celebrate the holiday season with spectacle, imagination and whimsical dreams. An international cast of 30 artists transform into gingerbread men flipping mid air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing, icemen powerfully sculpting, penguins spinning, puppets caroling and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment. Some holiday favorites accompany an original musical score with hundreds of spectacular costumes adorning a magical tree of dreams in a setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and 30-foot tall towering toy soldiers.
