Officials have not given details on what the new show will be called or when it will debut, but did say "it will celebrate Disney's legacy of storytelling in Cirque du Soleil's signature way." The two companies have been in a partnership together since 1998.
“This long-standing relationship is built on mutual esteem and the success achieved by our two creative businesses throughout the past two decades with La Nouba,” said Tiffany Rende, Senior Vice President, Corporate Alliances and Operating Participants, The Walt Disney Corporation. “We look forward to our continued collaboration with Cirque du Soleil in developing this new show that will honor Disney animation’s rich history.”
President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group Daniel Lamarre echoed the sentiment.
“We are incredibly inspired by Disney’s immense creative universe. We are convinced that bringing Disney’s magic to life on stage will touch audiences and bring them back to their childhood,” Lamarre said.
The last La Nouba show at Disney Springs will be held on Dec. 31. Tickets are available here.
