Barbie Live: A Dream Come True

What's almost always pink and sparkling?  Well, for me that would only mean Barbie, the fashion icon doll that has been a little girl's dream toy since the 1960s.  After a successful conquering of the globe with various versions of Barbie, now comes "Barbie Live! The Musical."

This Christmas season, Barbie lovers will be treated to a musical theatrical show that will bring the famous doll characters Barbie, Ken (Barbie's love interest) and Teresa (Barbie's best friend) to life.  "Barbie Live! The Musical" is set on a Hollywood sound stage and follows Barbie with Teresa on the set of their new film as Barbie reminisces on the lessons learned from her past movies like Swan Lake, Princess & the Popstar, and Mariposa & Fairy Princess in trying to help Teresa gain back her confidence and strengthen their friendship.

A cast of 19 singers and dancers, led by Chelsea Bernier (Barbie), Kristina Miller (Teresa) and Randy Dierkes (Ken), will be donning stunning costumes for their high energy numbers that kids and adults will relate to and enjoy.

Cirque du Soleil's SALTIMBANCO in Manila

For those who missed Varekai last June and July 2011, you will get the chance to watch another magical performance as the international entertainment group Cirque du Soleil will perform in Manila with its vibrant signature production Saltimbanco from August 9 - 19, 2012 at Mall Of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Saltimbanco is Cirque du Soleil’s longest-running touring show and has performed since 1992 to wide-spread acclaim to sell-out audiences in Europe, North and South America, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.

Be prepared to see a thrilling and kaleidoscopic celebration of awe-inspiring artistry and agility, spectacular costumes, amazing light effects and enchanting music. With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists from 20 different countries, Saltimbanco features breathtaking acrobatics and unbelievable athleticism -- be a witness seemingly impossible balancing, jumping, and spinning during the Chinese Poles or the Russian Swing to the gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze, the crowd pleasing Juggling and Acrobatic Bicycle, to the celebrated and very unique Clowns. Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family.

Saltimbanco is from the Italian “saltare in banco,” which literally means “to jump on a bench,” the show explores all facets of the urban experience -- the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likeness, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. A signature show, it is inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants.

Advance tickets for Saltimbanco are available online exclusively to Cirque Club members began last November 30, 2011. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits include access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes information. To join, go to Cirque Club.
