Iconic Country Music, Dazzling Acrobats, Engaging Characters, and More at Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land

Cirque du Soleil, in collaboration with Universal Music Group Nashville, is thrilled to present
Songblazers, A Journey Into Country Music. Written and directed by Amy Tinkham, this groundbreaking theatrical production pays homage to both legendary and contemporary trailblazers of country music.

Songblazers charts the journey of two main characters as they strive for recognition in the country music scene, offering audiences an unforgettable experience filled with heart and determination.

Drawing inspiration from the rich legacy of country music, Songblazers celebrates the genre’s historical icons while embracing the vibrant talents of today’s artists. Audiences can expect to be enthralled by stunning acrobatics, awe-inspiring aerial acts, and feats of extraordinary strength, all set to the backdrop of beloved country tunes.

Included are iconic country songs such as “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” by Shania Twain, “Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith, and an original song crafted specifically for Songblazers. The original piece, titled “Carnival Heart,” was penned by the grandson of country legend Hank Williams, Sam Williams along with songwriters PJ Harding and Ned Houston. “Carnival Heart” is an evocative melody inspired by themes of self-discovery, friendship, and hope.
