Cirque du Soleil Brings AXEL To Bridgestone Arena For Six-Night Run

Cirque du Solei’s AXEL

Cirque du Soleil premiered its new on ice spectacle, AXEL, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night (Feb. 6) for the first of a six-night run.

With spectacular skating, breathtaking acrobatics on ice, beautiful visual effects, and live music, AXEL is a must-see production. The story follows Axel, a young graphic artist and musician, as he dives into his hand-drawn universe while he falls in love with Lei. When Lei’s light is stolen from the supervillain Vï, the two make the quest to retrieve her stolen light.

The musical score, and live band, were a perfect match for the captivating story and amazing tricks, interweaving pop songs like Radiohead’s “Creep” with new original scores.

AXEL will be at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for five more performances from Feb. 7-9, 2020. Tickets are available online at cirquedusoleil.com/axel.
