Cirque du Soleil has announced that its first limited-run production created specifically for Puerto Rico, LE LO LAI, will premiere at San Juan Coca-Cola Music Hall on February 12, 2027.
The new original show, designed to elevate the island as a premier tourist destination, will celebrate Puerto Rico's vibrant music, culture and traditions with the help of Cirque’s signature acrobatics, live music and immersive storytelling, with an initial run of 30 performances.
Travelers can secure tickets now starting at $35 and book ticket-and-hotel packages through Vibee.
The music for LE LO LAI has been created in collaboration with internationally renowned Puerto Rican composer and musical director Ángel "Cucco" Peña and will feature a live band performing bomba, plena, salsa and reggaeton.
The 75-minute show features a cast of 33 performers, including more than 10 Puerto Ricans, and will generate approximately 150 jobs for local technicians throughout the load-in and load-out stages, in addition to more than 50 local technical production jobs.
