What are the most interesting new developments in this realm? I'm aware of Drip (https://ilovedrip.com/ https://ilovedrip.com/) by one of the Blue Man Group people (every audience member might get drenched in paint, the nerves that this show has.. wow :-D), and just interactive and immersive theatre in general. But I haven't heard of any emerging big shows that rival CdS and BMG.

Not sure it's the same realm, but I've recently watched (on TV) Mourad Merzouki's Pixel, which is a mix of modern dance with digital projection, and I found it interesting and well done.

I'd say Punch Drunk (https://www.punchdrunk.com/ https://www.punchdrunk.com/) is a big (up-and-comer?) production group in that space. In NYC and Shanghai they put on Sleep No More (consists of an entire multi-story old hotel gutted with stage detail work almost at the level of a spec of dust). Edit: I'll add another 2 production groups heavier on the physical comedy/circus-side: Strut&Fret -- mainly AU-based but tour int'l. http://www.strutnfret.com http://www.strutnfret.com, and spiegelworld (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiegelworld https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiegelworld) --mainly in NYC and Las Vegas (put on Absinthe).

  Great links, thanks! I'll have to add street theatre company Royal de Luxe ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_de_Luxe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_de_Luxe ). Due to them being essentially free, they will probably never get as rich as the founder of CdS, but their scope and mechanical accomplishments probably leapfrogs any other show. It's really a sight and thought to behold how they transform a city and keep a story moving day and night for 2 or 3 days with 10 meters high giant puppets.
