Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple played its final show on September 5, 2026 at New York-New York. The production closed; it did not move as the same show. Cirque’s FAQ is explicit: 18+, adult language and themes, under 18 not permitted. Runtime 90 minutes, no intermission. Variety, acro, comedy, live music, nightlife-party energy. It was not a family show, and it was not a topless cabaret.
If your group includes kids, teens, or anyone who cannot sit an 18+ room, Mad Apple was never the right ticket, before or after it closed. This page is the family-friendly path.

It is a family spectacular for groups that need one when the 18+ Cirque resident left the calendar.
