Quidam had its world premiere in Montreal under the Big Top in April 1996 Since that time, the production has toured on five continents and been experienced by millions of people Quidam has embarked on a new journey, performing the same captivating production, but now in arenas throughout North America The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters Unlike any other Cirque du Soleil show, Quidam does not take spectators to an imaginary realm of fanciful, larger-than life characters Rather, it is an examination of our own world – inhabited by real people with real-life concerns Young Zoé is bored; her parents, distant and pathetic, ignore her Her life has lost all meaning Seeking to fill the void of her existence, she slides into an imaginary world – the world of Quidam – where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul Quidam : a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past and swallowed by the crowd It could be anyone, anybody Someone coming or going at the heart of our anonymous society A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all This is the “quidam” whom this show allows to speak This is the place that beckons—a place for dreaming and genuine relations where all quidams, by proclaiming their individuality, can finally emerge from anonymity

East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting tale of enormous fascination It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West, and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story Along with the dazzling score, the incomparable Jerome Robbins ballet, 'The Small House of Uncle Thomas,' is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage

SORRY, WRONG CHIMNEY - a comedy by Jack Sharkey One of the most popular holiday shows in Chaffin's 46-plus year history is Back(stage)! This lighthearted Christmas tale is full of mistaken identities, zany foul-ups and a pinch of slapstick Newlywed, David Tuttle, is moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife, Samantha, an expensive gift for their first Christmas He tells her he's working late at the office, but she finds out he isn't at the office and immediately suspects the worst A presumed other woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa Burglar, his gun-toting fiancee', and a confused policeman add up to a rollicking tale that is side-splitting holiday fun
