The first of three half-house shows rolls into MetraPark's Rimrock Auto Arena next week with Cirque Dreams Illuminations at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Tickets for the show are $35.50, $42.50, and $47.50. All seats are reserved and are available at the MetraPark Box Office, Rimrock Mall Customer Service Center, and local Cellular Plus Stores; online at www.metrapark.com or by phone at 256-2402 or (800) 366-8538. Some fees may apply.

"Cirque Dreams Illumination" is the company's 14th production since originating in 1993. It pairs originality with Broadway theatrics and circus artistry. Performers reinvent familiar objects, balance on wires, leap tall buildings and redefine the risks of flight in a story filled with astounding occurrences. One-of-a-kind artists populate the streets of this magical metropolis and breathe energy into its landscape with urban acrobatics and thrills of disbelief. Cirque Dreams comes alive to the sounds of jazz, ballroom, pop, and more in this original score.

"Jesus Christ Superstar" is coming to MetraPark's Auto Arena on Friday, Jan. 29, 2010 and "Rain" is scheduled for Friday, May 21, 2010. Purchase tickets for two or more of these shows and take advantage of discounted prices of $33, $39, or $43 per ticket. These same discounts apply for groups of 20 or more tickets.
