An Update on Future Projects

The “Anonymous Cirquester” strikes again and passes along some interesting bits of news related to our favorite Circus, Cirque du Soleil:

  • Dubai 2010 starts its creation process in January 2008 for a premiere in late 2010 or early 2011.
  • Macau 2008 is currently behind schedule. Construction on the theater is to blame, it is six weeks behind.
  • Macau 2009 is going to be a reinvention of the variety show, according to creative sources.
  • Elvis 2009 is going well. Musical framework for the show is almost complete with 32 tracks selected from “The King’s” catalogue.
  • Cirque du Soleil is currently evaluating projects for resident shows in New York City (to accompany Wintuk) and once again in London.
  • Cirque management is also evaluating another resident show project for Las Vegas. (Could this be Mandalay Bay?)
  • … and a touring show in Asia in 2010.
  • And Cirque is designing the Canadian Pavilion concept at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

Thanks once again “Anonymous Cirquester” for passnig along some great information!
