The Greatest Show on Earth

First aired on Sunday Night, 6.30pm Sunday 31st May 2009, Channel 7 Australia


It started out as a humble street act in Canada, and now 25 years on Cirque Du Soleil has entertained more than 90 million people. Jamie travels to the Montreal training headquarters and backstages of the Las Vegas shows to find out what it takes to be accepted.

While being put through the rigours of testing, Jamie also discovers how a band of hippy street performers with a dream of making the world a better place has grown into a multimillion dollar global business, without having to shed the values they hold most dear.
