Drawn to Life is something I can’t stop thinking about. What won’t leave you is the wonder, awe and inspiration this show throws like confetti. Some classic Disney themes are featured in Cirque du Soleil’s signature music style but it didn’t stick with me like other Cirque show soundtracks. There are moments I think of and smile, like the audience getting the Cinderella treatment and the way some of the props interacts with the set. I found myself mesmerized by the unicyclist costumes as they appeared to float across the stage in smooth synchronization.
For that reason I won’t go into detail here but would like to paint a picture of some highlights. Part of the magic of these kinds of shows is the element of surprise. However, the story vehicle of Disney Animation brings a unique spin to aerial acts and gymnastics alike. The focus remains on the incredible performers and their talents as it should. Drawn to Life has an exciting variety of circus acts and just the right amount of pixie dust. I wondered if a collaborative effort between Disney and Cirque would still deliver the wonderfully weird experience I enjoy. My one sentence Drawn to Life review: It’s the kind of show you plot to see again the moment you leave the theater. I’m a long time admirer of Cirque du Soleil and have info to share about what to expect as well as my Drawn to Life review here. Drawn to Life officially opened on November 18th, 2021. After the originally scheduled March 2020 opening, the show took a long ‘intermission.’ There was uncertainty, then rebuilding as unprecedented times rocked the entertainment industry. Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering partnered on this one of a kind project.
This is Cirque du Soleil’s 50th original production but first time creating a Disney themed show. Drawn to Life is an all new show in the same venue. Cirque du Soleil made its Walt Disney World debut with the show La Nouba at Downtown Disney, now Disney Springs, which ran for 19 years. The company, founded in 1984, created its own form of entertainment, taking the best of a circus and presenting it in the style of a broadway production. Disclosure: I received complimentary tickets but that doesn’t influence this Drawn to Life review.
