Some Cirque shows exhausted their audience. Others were taken down because of incompatible, architectural ideas.
Cirque du Soleil
Hard Rock International will begin putting its touch on The Mirage, more than two years after the company revealed its plans to change the Strip resort.
The decision ends a production that opened in June 2006, with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison — the widow of George Harrison — in attendance.
Eric Grilly is the former CEO of VStar Entertainment, joining Cirque in its acquisition of VStar in 2018.
During the early performance of “The Beatles Love” at the Mirage, the show paused as a male artist appeared to suffer a left-leg injury.
A week after one of its accomplished, experienced artists was injured onstage in “O,” Cirque du Soleil has announced two senior officials are “on leave” from the show.
The “O” artist reportedly fractured his neck in the incident and underwent a five-hour emergency surgery overnight that is said to be a success.
Franco Dragone, who created the first Cirque du Soleil shows to play the Strip and designed Celine Dion’s residency, has died. He was 69.
The Las Vegas Strip’s predominant production company might go go public next year — possibly as early as January.
Cirque du Soleil plans to expand the “O schedule to seven days a week by 2020.
Daniel Lamarre says Cirque du Soleil is expanding beyond the gymnasts and aerial and aquatic artists but remains an acrobatic company.
“R.U.N” is the title and overarching theme of the new Cirque show opening at Luxor’s newly named R.U.N Theater on Oct. 24.
