INFO: Cirque du Soleil announces temporary suspension of previews for ‘Drawn to Life’ at Disney Springs

Due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Cirque du Soleil has announced that it will temporarily suspend the upcoming previews for “Drawn to Life,” a new show that was set to debut at Disney Springs.

This decision follows the postponement of many other Cirque du Soleil shows worldwide in the past few days, and takes into consideration the current group gathering recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“Our priority has always been, and remains, the health and safety of our artists, our partners, our employees and our audiences,” said the company via a press release statement. “We will continue to monitor and asses the situation to determine when the show previews will start.”

Those who purchased tickets for one of the impacted preview performances of “Drawn to Life” will be contacted by their point of sale.

About the Author: DBTN - FOUNDER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DBTN

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
