Speaking of Cirque du Soleil, you may
be wondering what is in the works to
replace Disney Springs’ La Nouba,
which ended at the end of 2018 after
running for twenty years. Cirque
& Disney have renewed their long-
lasting relationship with the creation
of a brand new show. The Disney
Springs theatre has been undergoing
a retrofit that will include a new show
and, most likely, a new stage. This
original show created by Cirque du
Soleil in collaboration with Disney
will draw its inspiration from Disney’s
heritage of animation. It will celebrate
Disney’s legacy of storytelling in
Cirque du Soleil’s signature way,
with a tribute to the one-of a kind
craftsmanship that makes Disney so
extraordinary.
An opening date for the new show
has not been announced. The curtain
closed on La Nouba on Dec. 31, 2017.
During its run, La Nouba entertained
more than 11 million guests and
performed close to 9,000 shows.
There were over 2.8 million flips in
the PowerTrack act and the wardrobe
department handled over 21 million
costumes and headpieces.
