The only Cirque du Soleil show I’ve seen is The Beatles LOVE in Vegas, and that was quite a while ago. It was a full-on magical mystery tour of music, movement and spectacle that had me ready to twist and shout. Ever since, I’ve had an itch to experience that kind of Cirque magic again.

That’s why Cirque ALICE immediately caught my eye. The gravity-defying Wonderland adventure comes to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on 4/11 next year and we’re giving away a pair of tickets! Presale runs today, 9/16 through 9/17. Use password ALICE for early access!*
