AERIAL ARTISTRY: “Cirque Dreams Holidaze” is an annual tradition at the State Theatre New Jersey, this year on December 12 and 13.

State Theatre New Jersey presents Cirque Dreams Holidaze for three performances on Friday, December 12 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, December 13 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick. Tickets start at $46.

Cirque Dreams Holidaze is a family holiday spectacular that infuses a whimsical, Broadway-style musical with contemporary circus artistry. As lights dim and music plays, a cast of holiday storybook characters come to life presenting an elaborate wonderland of ballerinas, nutcrackers, snowmen, penguins, reindeer, ethereal aerialists, gingerbread people, carolers, and colossal ornaments that fly, balance, and juggle.

The show includes over 300 one-of-a-kind costume designs. Broadway singers perform original music along with new twists on seasonal favorites such as “Deck the Halls,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “Jingle Bell Rock.”

State Theatre New Jersey is at 15 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick. Visit stnj.org for tickets.
