Las Vegas going Broadway...

It sorta looks like the Las Vegas property/entertainment managers have had
their fill of CIRQUE Shows too huh...Yet, even though some have tried
Broadway Shows in the past without much luck...5 soon to be vacant showrooms
and 5 rumored Shows/acts keep poppin' up in the various Vagas rags, rumor mills,
and these here message boards

It's kinda like musical chairs right now. The Plazzo with one room to fill, The Vanetian
with 2, and rumored Harrah's and RIO switching or adding new Shows.

The contenders...Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Book of Mormon, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw...
Legends in Concert possibily to RIO in Sept. and Million Dollar Quartet into Harrah's.
Rock Of Ages is the only Show to be confirmed going into the Venetian's Blue Man Group Theater,
leaving Plazzo, CET, and the Venetian's Phantom Theater to confirm their new residents.

Then came the story last week or so, that secret auditions for a Las Vegas based
Spider-Man had been held because...the rigging for the Phantom's chandelier would work
great for Spidie's flying scenes yet Spider-Man had been ruled out months ago by
those in the Vegas Showbiz know. Actually, 'they' only know what
they're told by the properties and the properties just like to keep us in rumor mode until they
figure out what the hell they're gonna spend/make/loose money on this time.
ANYONE HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT 'AVENUE Q'?..................naw, me neither (but it was cool!)

Greg.... great information as usual. I totally agree with your comment about Avenue Q. I am really surprised that that show didn't have the legs to stay around for long. I had the pleasure of seeing it at the Wynn (???) and I thought it was a fantastic show. In fact, I am off to see it tonight in our hometown (It's one of those traveling Broadway shows).

Yeah well, only the good die young. A little too much 'TRUE' perhaps...

I have seen Spamalot in both Vegas and NYC (Wynn & The Schubert)
Same w/ Leonard Cohen (Caesars and Mad Sq Garden..)
Friday I am seeing Cirque du Soleils Zarkana at Radio City Music Hall.... can't wait. Only a subway ride.. no TSA!!!

Ooooo ZARKANA! I'm so curious about it, please tell all.
I'll see a preview Show at Aria in November. Not much new in the way of
artists routines...we've seen 'em all before but it's the way ZARKANA presents
them. Cool stage sets, lighting and video (looks good but) PLEASE TELL US THE TRUTH!

I saw both Spamalot and Avenue Q at Wynn, and honestly, they were my two favorite shows I have seen in LV. It wouldn't break my heart if Cirque declined a bit and Broadway returned.
