Congratulations to Kimberly W. for winning the 4 pack of tickets to the show! This giveaway is now over.
Get excited people! The iconic blue and yellow big top of Cirque du Soleil is back at Atlantic Station! Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2014, Cirque du Soleil brings Amaluna to Atlanta. Amaluna invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Amaluna’s Tony Award-winning Show Director, Diane Paulus, drew from a series of classical influences when creating the concept of the show; including tales from Greek and Norse mythology, Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Amaluna will be performing at Atlantic Station in Atlanta through November 30, 2014.
I was given the opportunity to attend a viewing of the show. I surprised my dad with the outing to celebrate his 70th birthday. We both were mesmerized by the usual colors, costumes, and aerial acrobatics. Amaluna invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by the Goddesses/Queen Prospera, and guided by the cycles of the moon. For the first time at Cirque du Soleil, the cast of a show is 70% female and the band, 100%. The band was killing it for the show. The musicians share the stage with acrobats at times so it was cool to be able to see the brilliant women play a variety of instruments, including rocking guitars, keyboards, and even a cello.
The music was a blazing force paired perfectly with the feats of agility and sheer strength of the cast. I was blown away by the acrobat playing Miranda, Prospera’s daughter and the use of a massive waterbowl that stole the show for me. The Waterbowl is a piece of acrobatic equipment that doubles as a dramatic set element. Miranda performs a breathtaking hand-balancing routine before diving and swirling through the water.
Another highlight for me was the amazing juggling performance of Cali, the half-lizard, half-human, all jealous of Miranda’s affection for the hearthrob of the show, Romeo. If you have never seen a man physically juggle balls of fire, then you must see this show. Your eyes will pop out of their sockets just like mine did!
Now for the best part! Do you want to see the fabulousness of Amaluna for yourself at Atlantic Station?

I am always truly impressed by the vastness that is the traveling tent! Cirque du Soleil’s mobile village includes the Big Top, one large entrance tent, artistic tent, kitchen, school, offices, warehouses and more. The village is completely self-sufficient for electrical power, the site relies only on a local water supply and telecommunication facilities to support its infrastructure.
If you have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, you may think it’s all acrobatics. That’s certainly not true. There is also a good amount of typical circus humor woven through the acts and I highly advise you checking out the show before it leaves town November 30th.
I would actually like to give these tickets to my neighbor and her daughter. My neighbor had a terrible fall last week and broke some ribs – she needs a night out!
I would take my husband and children to see Amaluna. Cirque Du Soleil puts on such unique shows there is something for everyone of us. My kids have never been to see a Cirque du Soleil show, this would be a wonderful experience for us all.
I’d bring my family – my husband and two girls – a day after my birthday 🙂
I would LOVE to bring my father who has never had the chance to see them live. He works out of state and sometimes is not home for months. It would be a great treat to spend quality time like that with him. I’d love to invite by girlfriend as well, who attempted to buy tickets for me last year, but never could get her hands on some. Lastly my younger sister who is a level 9 gymnast would love to see all the acrobatics, and always said being part of a show would be awesome! Thanks kd for the giveaway!
I would take my daughters–they love gymnastics and keep asking about the Cirque tent when we drive by.
Amaluna looks like a fantastic experience. I would love to take my husband and two children. My children have never been to a Cirque Du Soleil performance before, this would be an experience that would create memories to last a lifetime
I would take my Husband and kids. I know they would love it as much as I do.
My son and husband’s birthdays are coming up this month and since we can’t afford to attend on our own, this would be the most amazing birthday gift ever! We have heard amazing things about the show and would love to be there to witness it! Thank you so much for the opportunity, we will be crossing out fingers!!! 🙂

I would take the hubs of course, and probably my two oldest kids. 🙂
I have never ever been to a Cirque show and having the opportunity to take my family would be the best way to start this holiday season!!! I really hope to win!!!
It would be a toss up between a GNO and a fun family outing!
I would love to take my mother! My father – her husband of 40 years – died 3 months ago. She needs a little happiness right now. She lives in Chattanooga & I live in Nashville. It would give us time together.
I would take my mother, father and brother. When I was a child my mother and father would take me to Cirque Du Solei on my birthdays. The shows inspired me to use my imagination and be creative and are truly a beautiful expression of art.
This year its my mothers birthday on Nov 5th and I would love to surprise her with the tickets!
We just had a baby so I would like to take my husband and my parents who have helped us so much during this time! We would love a date night out, and I know my parents would love to see the gorgeous show!
Two more hours until a winner is picked! Crossing my fingers!
