ELIZABETH, N.J., Aug. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elizabeth is New Jersey's newest premiere tourist destination. Elizabeth is just minutes from NYC, drawing domestic and international travelers who want to escape the Big Apple and explore "off the beaten path."

As one of the oldest cities in the state, established in 1664, Elizabeth's new tourist attractions are generating record-setting visitation. It is no wonder why they have partnered with Cirque Italia who has grown to the point where the next logical step can only be to expand operations and double their presence at the national level. In response to our wonderful fans all over the U.S., and with over 90% of shows being sold out, NOW is the perfect time for a substantial investment.

Beginning in 2017, Cirque Italia, the first traveling Water Circus, introduced a second unit, the Gold Unit: a luxurious experience where technology and performing arts are mixed to create a one-of-a-kind show. Now for 2018, a brand-new performance has been created and selected Elizabeth, NJ as their host city in the New York metro area.

This new performance will feature an ultra-modern water curtain that controls every droplet of water meticulously. Audience members can expect to see words and beautiful patterns as the water falls to the 'lagoon' below. Cirque Italia is ready to provide a breathtaking experience. This new stage by itself is enough to amaze the most demanding audience, and synchronized with the most creative display of superhuman talent - the result is simply out of this world!

The latest trends of the industry are challenged with every Cirque Italia appearance and this 2nd unit is not going to be any different. A careful casting selection has united the best artists from all over the world. This production will feature acts all the way from Russia to Mexico. Cirque Italia believes in multi-culturalism as one of our strongest assets and that's one of the many exciting reasons why they selected Elizabeth, New Jersey. "Elizabeth's rich ethic diversity is what the city prides itself on. Everything from its cultural ambiance to the vast array of cuisine, it's like a city where you travel the globe without ever needing a passport," said Jennifer Costa, Director of Tourism for Elizabeth.

Packed full of incredible acts, there is no room for boredom. The variety presented is exceptional. For those who enjoy whimsy, they have an Avatar. There is almost no bodily limit for our contortionist, Ricardo, as he bends in ways you never would have imagined. Our incredible wheel of death performance features a front summersault flip, something one will be hard-pressed to see anywhere else. If that doesn't surprise someone, their 5 roller skaters and their incredible tricks and turns will. And although Cirque Italia does not use animals in their performances, this year they will be featuring amazing lifelike elephant puppets. They are so well made; one might just think they are real. Whether it's a futuristic laser act or mesmerizing aerial performances, the show has something for all tastes and expectations. One thing Cirque Italia sets out to accomplish is to create a type of world-class entertainment suitable for all age groups. This new second unit also follows the same strict animal-free policy that makes the Water Circus stand out from other circus entertainment shows.

The "magic touch" of the Italian entrepreneur Manuel Rebecchi, President and Owner of Cirque Italia, added to the flawless direction of the COO, Chanté DeMoustes, and has turned this once romantic project into a successful production known and acclaimed all over the country.

Don't miss the opportunity to be amazed and transported to a fantastic realm where your deepest dreams can -and will- come true.
