Cirque Productions, also known as Cirque Dreams, is an American entertainment company, self-described as "the first American company combining the European cirque-style of performance artistry with American circus arts and Broadway theatrics." Based in Pompano Beach, Florida, it was founded in 1993 by Neil Goldberg and has gone on to create elaborate stage productions for two Super Bowls, the NBA, Disney, Busch Gardens, Six Flags, Miss Universe, NBC, ABC and CBS as well as for public theatre, Broadway, casinos, tours and corporate events worldwide.
Debuting at the Broadway theatre in 2008 as the first of its kind to play on Broadway, the show was described as "an exotic encounter inspired by nature’s unpredictable creations that are brought to life by an international cast of soaring aerialists, spine-bending contortionists, acrobats, jugglers and musicians." After traveling internationally and throughout the United States, the show re-launched on July 27, 2010, at the MGM Grand Theatre at Foxwoods, Connecticut, for a limited engagement starring Pop Princess Debbie Gibson in the title role of Mother Nature, marking the first ever Cirque Productions show to feature a celebrity as lead vocalist. The show received the 2011 Brass Ring award for entertainment excellence at Busch Gardens Tampa, where it was featured daily over a nine-month run that began in December 2010. The show was also featured on an episode of MTV's MADE. In 2012, the show entertained over 100,000 U.S. troops and their families at 17 military installations throughout 10 countries in association with Armed Forces Entertainment. In 2013, the show was redesigned into a modern dinner theatre experience in partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line, to perform indefinitely on their new Breakaway sailing year-round from NYC.
Featuring a group of 27 performers, this performance is described as "blending world renowned imagination, critically acclaimed theatrical innovation and breathtaking presentation into a story that illuminates a city of everyday people, workers and pedestrians into feats of disbelief."
