Cirque du Soleil, now in its 36th year, never ceases to amaze a crowd. It's lively, colorful, freaky (how do they bend that way?), and fun for all ages. So it's no surprise that PPG Paints Arena announced today that a seventh performance of Cirque du Soleil OVO, a bug-themed show touching down at the venue from Jan. 23-26, has been added for Sat., Jan. 25 at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for the additional show are on sale now.

OVO will also have shows in the evening on Thu., Jan. 23 and Fri., Jan. 24, with multiple showtimes the following Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Cirque du Soleil last visited Pittsburgh in 2017 when the Canadian circus came with the same show. OVO, a story centered around a mysterious egg that appears among an ecosystem of insects, has shown in arenas all over North America, Europe, and South America since starting in April 2016.
