It’s been a whirlwind few months for Cirque du Soleil, as the performance company’s been hard hit with debut cancellations, massive layoffs, and even bankruptcy. However, “Drawn to Life” at Disney Springs is now scheduled for a Fall debut, and tickets have just gone on sale on the Cirque du Soleil website.
Tickets are available as early as Thursday, November 5, with seats starting at $79. After its debut, performances will take place daily at 5:30 PM from Tuesday through Saturday.
The performance schedule runs through the end of December. Do keep in mind that these showings are contingent on current health and safety restrictions, and are subject to change.

“Drawn to Life” was meant to make its official debut on April 17, 2020. When the wave of COVID-19 closures hit, the debut was postponed indefinitely. Cirque du Soleil has offered to replace or refund any purchased tickets for all showings impacted by the closure. Guests with any questions about their tickets should call the “Drawn to Life” hotline at (702) 352-0221.
We’ve been eagerly awaiting the reopening of Cirque du Soleil at Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs since it closed the show “La Nouba” on December 31, 2017. The new show, “Drawn to Life” presented by Cirque du Soleil® & Disney, has been highly anticipated. Closures due to COVID-19 have altered plans however.
According to Las Vegas Review Journal: “In a move that would have been unheard of even a year ago, Cirque du Soleil, the Las Vegas Strip’s preeminent production company for more than two decades, has filed for bankruptcy protection. The company, which has six productions on the Strip, announced Monday morning from its headquarters in Montreal it was seeking a debt restructuring protection under its home country’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).”
As expected, the company said in its filing announcement the refinancing move was “in response to immense disruption and forced show closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
According to the Cirque du Soleil website: “CDSEG is not bankrupt, and rather sought court protection from its creditors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in Canada and Chapter 15 in the US, in order to avoid bankruptcy.”
“All performances are still on pause. Performances will resume once the pandemic is under control, pending an easing in government lockdowns and travel restrictions, and in accordance with the new corporate structure in place. Tickets for suspended and rescheduled performances remain valid. Ticket holders are advised to hold on to their tickets and will receive further instructions.”
We have received no word yet from Disney on what plans are in the works for “Drawn to Life” at Disney Springs.
Tomorrow would have been Cirque Du Soleil’s official debut of “Drawn to Life” at Disney Springs. However, after a wave of preview cancellations due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Cirque Du Soleil has now cancelled all performances through April and May, with the first performances now showing on the ticket calendar as starting on June 2.
In light of current events, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group is temporarily suspending the preview performances of Drawn to Life at Disney Springs. This action follows the postponement of numerous Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group shows worldwide in recent days and takes into consideration the most current recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as the escalation of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
From the very beginning of the new coronavirus outbreak, the Group took rigorous measures to protect its work teams and the public. Our priority has always been, and remains, the health and safety of our artists, our partners, our employees and our audiences. We will continue to monitor and assess the situation to determine when the show previews will start.
As the performance you purchased has been postponed, we are encouraging you to keep your tickets and contact us to exchange them for a future date.
All tickets that are not exchanged will be automatically refunded within 30 days of the performance.
