Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil
Combining the raw, gritty energy of the New York City streets with the grace and power of acrobatics, Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil is a hip-hop-inspired show that tells the story of a city and its people.
The highly-detailed show takes its inspiration from the Big Apple itself, celebrating the unique personality of "the city that never sleeps".
Its backdrops are full of some of the most iconic NYC landmarks and the storyline weaves in and out of different boroughs, neighborhoods and subcultures.
In typical Cirque du Soleil fashion, you can expect high-energy acrobatics, jaw-dropping stunt work from street performers, entertainers and high-fliers, as well as a touch of comedy throughout the show.
And it's all in sync with a heart-pounding soundtrack courtesy of the live band.
