Cirque du Soleil adds behind-the-scenes option at Disney Springs

Cirque du Soleil is adding a behind-the-scenes tour for “Drawn to Life,” the theatrical production at Disney Springs. The new “Page to Stage Signature Experience” will include exclusive access before and after select shows.

Participants will receive a backstage tour, an artist meet-and-greet, premium show seating, a “Drawn to Life” gift bag, a souvenir popcorn bucket, personalized check-in and other benefits. There will be a limit of nine guests per experience.

The post-performance tour will include an under-the-stage tour and looks at the show’s costumes and props.

“By showcasing the work of our talented artists and skilled technical team, attendees will gain a special insight into the magic that brings this collaboration between Cirque du Soleil and Disney animation to life,” Kevin Hargrove, company manager of “Drawn to Life,” said in a news release.

“Drawn to Life” debuted at Disney Springs in late 2021, taking over the stage that had been home to “La Nouba” for 19 years. The new show’s story is inspired by Disney animators and has famed characters incorporated into the presentation in a Cirque du Soleil way.
