Cirque du Soleil will bring its new on-ice production, “AXEL,” to Fiserv Forum in January, the Milwaukee Bucks announced today.
The production will put on six performances from Thursday, Jan. 9 to Sunday, Jan. 12.
It will be the Montreal, Canada-based entertainment company’s ninth visit to Milwaukee since 2006. Cirque’s debut on-ice show “Crystal” performed in Milwaukee in January this year as Fiserv Forum’s first-ever ice event.
Similar to Crystal, AXEL features Cirque’s traditional circus-style acrobatic acts with synchronized, freestyle and extreme skating – all while telling a story to the tune of both original and pop ballads.
The show schedule includes:
- January 9 at 7:30 p.m.
- January 10 at 7:30 p.m.
- January 11 at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m.
- January 12 at 1:00 and 5:00 p.m.
Tickets are now available at Cirque du Soleil’s website.
