Banana Shpeel from Cirque du Soleil

LIMITED ENGAGEMENT

Starts April 29 at Beacon Theatre

About the Show

Don't miss the brand new show from Cirque du Soleil, Banana Shpeel, with performance styles inspired by vaudeville, that blends comedy with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a hilarious narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures.

Propelled by crazy humor and intense choreography, Banana Shpeel plunges us into the world of Schmelky, a brash, ambitious producer who is trying to put together a spectacular variety show. His world is populated with sidekicks, dancers, singers and novelty acts – and a bunch of badly behaved clowns who crash the auditions spreading chaos in all directions.

Banana Shpeel is a limited engagement, and runs through August 2010.

Take a sneak peek behind the scenes of a brand new genre for Cirque du Soleil. From the arrival of the artists in Montreal through its preview at The Chicago Theatre in November 2009, follow the creation process of this new production HERE.
