Don’t miss Cirque du Soleil: Luzia off Broadway. This show is inspired by the people, places, and stories that define Mexico, and you’ll experience it as a dream, moving from the folklore of yore to the urban landscape of today. Audiences will see a rain curtain that drops water to form shapes and figures, a gigantic pool that acts as a basin for tremendous feats, and soaring puppetry that, in the case of one magical butterfly, has wings that take up nearly the entire stage.

“Luzia is very much peak Cirque,” wrote The New York Times in a Critic’s Pick review. “Innovations abound. Luzia handles its Mexican theme with finesse via elegant set design, lighting, costumes, puppetry and live music. That may be the best balancing act of all.”

Acrobats abound, puppets astound, and feats high in the air and deep in the water are all part of the magic of this singular show. The show is perfect for tourists who want to see a unique style of performance and also for New Yorkers curious about a new part of their city, at Randall’s Island Park, they’ve yet to discover. Luzia is the troupe’s 38th creation since 1984, taking part in a long history of mesmerizing performances that dazzle family-friendly audiences all over the world.
