The first US national tour of POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance launches in 2023 as it makes its way to Broadway.



"AFE is proud to continue bringing quality entertainment to our service members & their families. This tour is the largest production show AFE has presented in over a decade, and is needed now more than ever especially during the holiday season," says Armed Forces Entertainment Chief, Ms. Fabrizia Bresil.

At the show's opening in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a service member shared "I have been here for six years, have seen some cool things and big named entertainment, but I've never seen anything as impressive as this show!"

Creator Neil Goldberg says, "After sharing the book, TV Special and book reading tour during the Month of the Military Child, premiering the first live theatrical stage spectacular with AFE is an honor."
