Beau Rivage Offers BALAGAN Room and Show Package

Popular Production Returns For New Years Eve Performance, Continues Through January

BILOXI, Miss. – Blending hundreds of years of European circus legacy with contemporary entertainment, BALAGAN returns to the 1,550-seat Beau Rivage Theatre on New Year’s Eve for a special 11:00 p.m. holiday performance. BALAGAN will then continue a limited run through Jan. 27.

Russian for "marketplace circus,” BALAGAN combines unique music, choreography, athleticism and comedy to create an awe-inspiring production reminiscent of the days of traveling circuses. BALAGAN celebrates the magnificent physical movements of world-class performers, impossible flights of aerialists and acrobats, and amazing torso twists and turns of seemingly boneless contortionists.

“BALAGAN is as aesthetic as it is artistic, with outlandish characters, clowns, fanciful creatures, unusual music and skilled performers offering feats of beauty,” said Misha Matorin, the show’s producer. The 80-minute production features a cast of 23 artists representing five countries. “The show combines sophisticated production elements in a fully choreographed environment,” Matorin, the guest creator of Cirque Du Soleil's production "Mystere" added.

Individual tickets for the special Jan. 31 New Year’s Eve performance are priced at $29.95 and $34.95 plus tax and service charge. BALAGAN will run from Jan. 1 – Jan. 27 with tickets prices of $9.95 and $14.95 for adults and $4.95 for children (1-12 yrs.) plus tax and service fees. For tickets, contact the Beau Rivage Ticket Office at (888) 566-7469. BALAGAN room packages start at $67.50 per person, double occupancy, plus tax, and include deluxe accommodations, tickets to BALAGAN and a Theatre Snack Pack, which includes a small non-alcoholic drink, small popcorn and candy.
