Cirque du Soleil’s newest show, Wintuk, will play an exclusive engagement at the Theater at Madison Square Garden from November 1-January 6. The show will run for 10 weeks each winter for the next four years.

The show concerns a boy named Wintuk and his quest to find snow and adventure. A cast of 50 performers weaves thrilling circus arts, breathtaking theatrical effects, and memorable songs into this family-friendly adventure, which has been designed exclusively for the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

It is produced by Cirque du Soleil, MSG Entertainment, and BASE Entertainment, and directed by Richard Blackburn, the artistic director of Le Théâtre de la Dame de Coeur in Upton, Quebec. Director of Creation is Fernand Rainville, who co-directed the bilingual Montreal production of Les Misérables.
