From the Las Vegas Sun:
As “Mystere” celebrates its 18th anniversary on Christmas Day at Treasure Island, Vegas Deluxe can confirm that the production will go dark for a month starting Jan. 12 for what Cirque du Soleil’s creations director, Gilles Ste. Croix, describes as “a needed tune-up” for the company’s first Strip spectacular.
“Mystere” is still playing to capacity crowds after more than 8,500 performances since Dec. 25, 1993, but Cirque founder Guy Laliberte flew here from Japan a week ago and authorized changes. First, he’s replacing the high-bar finale with a trapeze act from his show “Zed” in Tokyo that closes on New Year’s Eve.
A second “Zed” act arriving here early next year is being added to “Viva Elvis” at Aria, as we reported previously. Cirque also is adding a solo aerial act to “Mystere,” and the choreography and staging of the amazing Chinese poles number will be restaged. The first show to debut the additions will be Saturday, Feb. 11.
