Rich Corsi, vice president of programming at the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts, said the decision to bring “A Magical Cirque Christmas” to Columbus was an easy one. “Combining the groups of artists that we did and their sort of fresh take on circus art or contemporary singing, we felt that this is the beginning of a new Christmas tradition.” “We just wanted to do something that would be a brand new Christmas experience, rather than just a purely nostalgic experience,” Millan said. The use of holiday tunes ensures there is something in the show for everyone, he said. “It elevates all the individual acts, and they feel connected and special.”īy using classically popular holiday songs, Millan said the show is able to put a new spin on something that people already know and love. “The whole thing is encompassed in a kind of unstyled spirit that I think was done right,” Millan said. The format of the show is like Cirque du Soleil’s setup in that way, Millan said. Millan said the show is a variety show, meaning that instead of individual acts performing one at a time, multiple different acts go on stage at the same time, creating a cohesive and entertaining environment. To save Christmas, Millan said Darling must go on a journey, which is where the circus acts come in. Millan said the story highlights a performer, Lucy Darling - who is also the host - as she helps to ensure the seasons change after the person in charge of that role neglects doing their job. “It’s a show that consistently sort of delivers at a very high level.”
