Cirque Du Soleil in London
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 2:00PM 
One of the most spectacular and renowned theatrical shows in the world is performing in London over the next month, the Cirque du Soleil is known worldwide for their energetic stage productions and acrobatic performances. The Cirque du Soleil (French for ‘Circus of the Sun’) was founded in Quebec in 1984, starting with 20 performers and has been performing and growing ever since, now employing 3,500 people from over 40 countries. To date the Cirque Du Soleil has performed to 1.5 million people in the UK alone and over 70 million people worldwide.
The show currently touring Europe is the ‘Quidam’, meaning ‘a nameless passerby’. The show first premiered in 1996 and is based around the dreams and imagination of a young girl named Zoe, and draws heavily from surrealist art. All Cirque Du Soleil shows are known for their stunning sets and interesting storylines, shows often include flying dancers and vibrant costumes. The Quidam is also known for its critically acclaimed and atmospheric music soundtrack from the Canadian composer Benoit Jutras, often utilising exotic instruments such as the Chinese Violin ‘Erhu’.
Thousands of people are set to see the show at the Royal Albert Hall, which is running from January 8th to the 1st of February and tickets are available from £16.00 to £69.50 and shows start at both 3:00pm and 7:45pm.
If the Cirque Du Soleil doesn’t seem like your sort of thing then from the 2nd of January the stage production of Thriller will be performing at the Lyric Theatre in the west end, utilising songs from Michael Jackson as well as the Jackson 5, the Thriller musical is sure to be a hit with most people. Tickets range from £13.50 to £40.00 and the shows runs until April 12th, so there is plenty of time to tap along to ‘Billy Jean’, ‘Beat it’ and the Jackson 5 favourite ‘I want you back’.
