Jim Estepa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Journeys, adds, “As our partnership with Vans Warped Tour grows, we are thrilled to make the jump forward to naming both of the main stages this summer. The visibility, brand growth and full integration that we’ve been able to build into the program with the Warped team has been not only beneficial, but also an incredibly fun relationship to build. Over the years that we’ve worked together, we’ve grown our promotional presence, grown the offerings that we can make to our employees, grown our retail partnerships to include ticket sales in multiple markets and now grown to be the name-partners of the main stages. It feels like a natural next step for us and we are excited to see what the future brings!”

Amway Center News: Cirque du Soleil OVO coming to Orlando in the Fall

Cirque du Soleil returns to Orlando presenting its newest touring arena show, OVO, never before played in Florida. OVO presented by Visa Signature^®, plays the Amway Center September 21 – 25 for seven performances. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 25 at 10 a.m.

OVO, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. It is love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. One highlight of OVO is the stunning Flying Act where a group of scarabs soar high above – from each corner of the stage – and land together on a platform in the middle.

The Creative Team behind the world of OVO is:

• Artistic Guides Guy Lalibertéand Gilles Ste-Croix
• Writer, Director and Choreographer Deborah Colker(first female director at Cirque du Soleil)
• Director of Creation Chantal Tremblay
• Set and Prop Designer Gringo Cardia
• Costume Designer Liz Vandal
• Composer and Musical Director Berna Ceppas
• Lighting Designer Éric Champoux
• Sound Designer Jonathan Deans
• Rigging and Acrobatic Equipment Designer Fred Gérard(for the first time at Cirque du Soleil)
