''[[Alegria]]'' is the eighth [[Cirque
The [[All There in the Manual]] backstory: A kingdom has lost its ruler; there is no heir. Power is up for grabs, and it comes down to a struggle between the old order of pampered, selfish nobles (led by the sinister jester/emcee Fleur) and a new one of loving, giving youths.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[Rewritten Pop Version]] / [[Rearrange the Song]]: Beyond "Novo Alegria", ''Delirum'' featured "Alone", a variation on "Querer". (Its entirely new English lyrics were about miserable loneliness, whereas the original's were about how joyous love can be.)
* [[Self-Parody]]: The Russian bars act is followed by two of the clowns mounting their own version of it, complete with applause-baiting posing to punctuate their feats. In a briefer gag earlier in the show, the third clown tries to impress the audience with his version of the fire-knife dance (using a candle instead of a flaming baton).
* [[Set
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: The Black Singer, whom the website notes is the alter ego of the White Singer. A fan writing about a performance of the show noted that she literally followed the White Singer in the opening procession -- a [[Living Shadow]], perhaps?
* [[Singing Simlish]]: Aside from the title song and those listed under [[Bilingual Bonus]], all the songs are this.
