Magic 98.3 is the official sponsor of State Theatre New Jersey’s Broadway Series. Another amazing holiday show is coming to the historical venue in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Cirque Dreams Holidaze is coming to State Theatre NJ for three shows during the second weekend in December. The shows are on Friday, December 12th at 7 pm and Saturday, December 13th at 11 am and 3 pm.

I spoke with second years Cirque Dreams Holidaze dancer Tamara Denson. The show "takes you through the story of Clara, she's the main character. It kind of starts with her dad not being able to join her for the holidays. She goes through magical acts where she sees hair hangers, aerialists, and dancers. They're throwing her a party because her dad can't come for the holidays."

Cirque Dreams Holidaze Spectacular


Cirque Dreams Holidaze dazzles with a brilliantly breathtaking holiday spectacular for the whole family. As the original Cirque Holiday theatrical event, this annual tradition wraps a Broadway-style production around awe-inspiring contemporary circus arts.

Guests will be on the edge of their seats as a cast of holiday characters come to life, captivating audiences while defying gravity. Broadway World exclaims, “Lose yourself for 90 minutes and go back to those wonderful dreams you had as a kid.”

Enchanting and fun for children to seniors and everyone in between, Cirque Dreams Holidaze features a world-renowned cast of performers. It includes an ensemble of aerial circus acts, sleight-of-hand jugglers, fun-loving skippers, eye-popping acrobatics, and much more.

Singers, dancers, toy soldiers, and reindeer invoke the dreams behind a child’s eye on the most magical of nights. Reimagined for 2025, Cirque Dreams Holidaze features original music, fresh twists on beloved holiday favorites sung live, new sets, dazzling scenery, and stunning costumes, making it the ultimate holiday show.
