Banana Shpeel from Cirque du Soleil

WORLD PREMIERE

February 25, 2010 — May 30, 2010 at Beacon Theatre

About the Show

Don't miss the World Premiere of Banana Shpeel, from Cirque du Soleil, 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. This is not circus, or a musical or a variety show, or even vaudeville. It is Banana Shpeel!

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 trio of badly-behaved clowns who crash the auditions spreading chaos in all directions.

Banana Shpeel is a limited engagement, and runs through May 30, 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.
