Looking for an unforgettable night out in the Philadelphia area? Get ready—Cirque du Soleil is finally bringing its iconic Big Top back to town for the first time since 2023 with its awe-inspiring production, LUZIA, a “waking dream of Mexico.” Opening May 7, 2026, the Big Top will rise at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, just a short drive from King of Prussia Mall. LUZIA invites you to escape into a sumptuous world suspended between dreams and reality—a place where artistry, imagination, and acrobatics collide in a jaw-dropping spectacle.

LUZIA is not your average circus. This is Cirque du Soleil at its most inventive and visually spectacular, as praised by The New York Times. Guests can register through Fever starting today to get exclusive waitlist access to this highly acclaimed show. The pre-sale kicks off November 5, 2025, for one day only, allowing waitlist members to secure the best seats before anyone else. Public ticket sales open November 6, 2025—fans are urged to join the waitlist early for priority access.

So, what makes LUZIA so special? Picture a surreal journey through the sights, sounds, and traditions of Mexico, seamlessly moving from an old movie set to the ocean, to a smoky dance hall or a sun-soaked desert. LUZIA blends rich visuals and playful storytelling with high-flying acrobatics, including Cyr Wheel performances in the rain, aerial trapeze feats, hoop diving with gigantic treadmills, and breath-stopping acts by contortionists, jugglers, and freestyle footballers. It’s also the first Cirque du Soleil touring show to incorporate real rain into its routines, creating both visual magic and thrilling challenges for its talented cast.

LUZIA is written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca in association with Brigitte Poupart, taking inspiration from the Spanish words for light (“luz”) and rain (“lluvia”). In this world, light revives the spirit, and rain soothes the soul, bringing you deep into an imaginative Mexico bursting with artistry.

If you want to be the first to see Cirque du Soleil in Philadelphia in 2026, join the LUZIA waitlist via Fever for early access on November 5, and get ready for tickets to go public on November 6.
