Cirque Du Soleil  presented AXEL this weekend at the Von Braun Center in the Propost Arena. The premiere took place on October 18th to a packed arena in Huntsville and it did not disappoint!

AXEL is a beautiful, artistic show by Cirque Du Soleil  that manages to captivate its audience with phenomenal ice skating, colorful characters & lighting, fantastic music and mind-blowing performances by a very talented cast.

The cutting-edge content in AXEL played out by its lively cast of characters manages to capture the hearts of its audience--while keeping them on the edge of their seat the entire show. AXEL was a beautiful show full of color and creativity and reminded me of the intricate cinematics you often see if video games. It has everything you would expect from your favorite video game such as eccentric characters, kick-ass action sequences and of course, a compelling storyline!

In the end, if you are looking for a cutting-edge,  family-friendly event then look no further with Cirque Du Soleil's  new show, AXEL! AXEL reminded me of a great RPG adventure, with some touches of TRON, all on ICE!
