Cirque du Soleil's annual holiday production, Wintuk — a family-friendly, acrobatics-filled tale of a boy's passion for snow — has returned to New York City this season at the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Performances continue to Jan. 3, 2010.

Featuring a cast of over 50 international performers from Cirque du Soleil, Wintuk is now playing its third consecutive year in Manhattan. The winter-themed spectacle had its world premiere at the WaMu Theater in 2007 and plans to return annually.

According to production notes, Wintuk is "an exciting winter adventure about a boy's quest for snow." The show weaves acrobatics, theatrical effects and songs into an extraordinary journey to an imaginary land called Wintuk."

Directed by Fernand Rainville, Wintuk features a book by Richard Blackburn, music by Simon Carpenter, lyrics by Jim Corcoran, choreography by Catherine Archambault, and acrobatic design by Daniel Cola and Guy St. Amour.
