Cirque: The Greatest Show – Reimagined is heading to the city in September 2025.
It was announced earlier this week that £2.5 million-worth of work on the venue’s auditorium would be complete by spring next year and the first shows would be staged in the autumn.
Now the venue is announcing shows ahead of its reopening.

revamped, and ready to deliver its most electrifying performance yet.
