Cirque du Soleil has been transforming many of its previous big tent circus blockbusters into indoor arena spectacles. Just one example is the Asian and Western circus-influenced Dralion, which returns to the town with back-to-back stops in Rosemont and Chicago.
Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion first plays the Allstate Arena, 6920 N. Mannheim Rd., Rosemont, June 20-24, and then at the United Center, 1901 W. Madison St., June 27-July 1. Rosemont performances are at 7:30 p.m. June 20-22, 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. June 25 and 1 p.m. June 24. Chicago performances are 7:30 p.m. June 27-29, 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. June 30, 1 and 5 p.m. July 1. Tickets are $35-$145. Call 800-745-3000 or visit www.chicagoshakes.com. Photo courtesy of Cirque du Soleil
