Originally Posted By Rsey103 It might be more of a scheduling problem since it is now playing arenas. Perhaps something else was booked for the arena at the same time Cirque wanted it.... They'll eventually make it to Atlanta.

I didn't know until I read the article that Michael Longoria from Jersey Boys was cast for this show.
