Cirque du Soleil Crystal tickets on sale June 21

In a breakthrough ice experience, Cirque du Soleil brings its incredible artistry to ice with Crystal. The show, at the Sears Centre Arena, will only be in town for six performances fro November 16 - 19. Crystal was created specifically for ice arenas with a fresh, innovative experience combining skating and sliding athleticism with the acrobatic feats that built the Crique du Soleil empire.

Crystal is the story of a young woman who "shatters through reality to each a surreal world filled with possibility. Beneath the surface, she pursues the life that had been glistening within." She learns that sometimes we must first leave solid ground to find her true footing.

This is Cirque du Soleil's 42nd original production since its 1984 founding. The company has performed for more than 180 million spectators in 40 cities on six continents.
