The show follows a young girl named Julie, who goes on a journey of discovery when she finds a piece of animation left behind by her late father. The ending will now focus more on honoring the bond between Julie and her father, according to Cirque du Soleil.
The swing-to-swing act, which previously featured artists representing princesses, now includes artists representing Julie and her father in new costumes designed by Philippe Guillotel. The act also features stunts and choreography.
“The daring acrobats in the number are kaleidoscopic animated renditions of Julie and her father soaring, flying and swinging through the air in a touching and thrilling display of amplitude, connection and skill,” said “Drawn to Life" artistic director Justin Sullivan.
This latest change comes as the show celebrates its second anniversary at Disney Springs. “Drawn to Life” opened in November 2021, replacing the long-running “La Nouba,” which closed in 2017.
Since its debut, the 90-minute show has undergone other changes, including the addition of an Icarian Games segment — where performers “juggle” their partners with their feet — and aerial hoops.
In addition to acrobatic acts and music, the show features new animation inspired by characters and stories from Disney’s animated films.
“Drawn to Life” has performances at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and at 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sundays.
