ORLANDO, Fla. — The new Cirque du Soleil show at Walt Disney World finally has a new opening date — more than a year and a half after the COVID-19 pandemic halted the production.
Called “Drawn to Life,” the show was in final rehearsals and just a few weeks away from debuting when the pandemic shutdown brought the entertainment industry to a halt. The show — the first created jointly by Cirque du Soleil and Disney — is now scheduled to open at Disney Springs on Nov. 18.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public Aug. 20, according to the Disney Parks Blog — although emails sent to previous Cirque du Soleil patrons allowed them to purchase tickets immediately. On Tuesday morning, the best seats for the Nov. 18 opening date were already spoken for.
