Notable shows sometimes return, such as Alegria, which first premiered in 1994 and returned in 2019, introducing 14 million people to Cirque du Soleil in its first run alone.

Other shows come and go, such as Saltimbanco (1992-2012). Over the years, some shows have become permanent fixtures of Cirque du Soleil, starting with the pioneering Mystere (1993), housed in Las Vegas to this day. Selling out show after show, Cirque du Soleil went abroad in 1990 since then, they’ve developed more shows, reaching more audiences, while keeping those core audience-focused principles at the forefront. Audiences' engagement was the core philosophy of the troupe’s artistic choices. Audiences viewed the intricate set designs not afforded to regular circus shows. Audiences had a 360-degree view of performers, just like on the streets. In revolutionary and crowd-pleasing developments, they used what worked in street performances-the theater aspects-to elevate the experience for viewers. By 1987, the troupe were able to take their show on the road, touring the United States. When this group founded by Gilles Ste-Croix came to the street, they brought juggling, dancing, fire breathing, stilting, and a hodgepodge of other acts, allowing people who passed by to sample a variety of circus-theater talents. A troupe of street performers took to a small town in Quebec. The drama and production of theater met the spectacle-based events of circus in Canada in the 1980s. How can you safely turn a bed into a functional trampoline? How can you make costumes that can fend off fire and water? How can you magically morph acrobatic gear into story-conforming costumes? The components of a Cirque du Soleil show will change what you think is possible of humans and of stage performers. A team of thousands of employees work together to orchestrate costume design, choreography, acrobatics, music, and other elements that make these gravity-defying shows possible, resulting in one of the newest and most adventurous types of theater worldwide. In these shows, the drama and production of theater meets the spectacle-based events of circus. “Together with Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, we have created a stunning show that will inspire audiences to dream and reach for the impossible.Cirque du Soleil is one of the newest and most adventurous types of theater worldwide. “It was an honor to have the opportunity to interpret the spectacular works from Disney’s catalogue of animation into a live show and we couldn’t be more proud of this production,” explained Diane Quinn, Chief Creative Officer Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group. Developed in partnership with Michael Jung, Executive Theatrical Development, Walt Disney Imagineering, the story is driven by 10 unique acrobatic acts alongside animation from beloved Disney films as well as all-new animation created by Disney artists led by Eric Goldberg, best known for characters such as the Genie in the animated classic, “Aladdin.” As she dives into the inner world of animation guided by a surprising pencil, Julie embarks on an inspiring quest filled with her childhood Disney memories.
