Line 12:
Cirque has made a variety of film and TV productions. Most are filmed performances of the touring shows, but there have been original efforts derived from the shows and many behind-the-scenes documentaries. There's been a concert tour adapting the music of the shows and several books including the 20th anniversary marker ''20 Years Under the Sun'', which helped flesh out this entry.
In June 2020, Cirque du Soleil filed for bankruptcy protection after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to cancel performances worldwide and lay off hundreds of performers.
'''If you want to know about a specific show and its tropes, look to the List of [[Cirque du Soleil/Productions|Cirque du Soleil productions]].'''
Line 22 ⟶ 24:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]] - While many of the songs with lyrics are in [[Singing Simlish|made-up languages]], there are others that use real ones, so if you can speak Italian, Spanish, etc. you may get this.
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]] - As an example, ''Saltimbanco'' was retired from the lineup after the initial tour ended in 1997, but revived the following year and is still performing as an arena show.
** Guy Laliberté made enough money from this
* [[Costume Porn]] - The book brought out to mark the company's 25th anniversary was about the costumes of all the shows over the years, which should tell you how much this trope applies to them.
* [[Cut Song]] - When old acts/transitions go, so do their songs, so many a soundtrack (usually recorded within a year or two of the opening) has a fair amount of material that's no longer in the show.
