Cirque du Soleil: Florida resident tickets available for $50

Florida residents can now purchase tickets to Cirque du Soleil’s “La Nouba” at Downtown Disney for $50. The deal is good for performances between now and Oct. 23, 2010. It applies to the theater’s Category 2 seats, which typically sell for $85 and are primarily in the upper bowl or on the ends of the lower section. Purchases are limited to six seats.

“La Nouba” has showtimes at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays.

The production has made a few changes this year. In January, a juggling act by Anthony Gatto was introduced. More recently, an elaborate jump rope segment featuring the house troupe replaced the German wheel act.

“The skipping ropes act brings a new dimension and high energy to the opening of the show,” says artistic director Denise Biggs. “The speed of their movements is truly unbelievable.”

For tickets, call 407-939-7328 or go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/lanouba or the box office at the plaza level of the theater.
