Profile for scielle

Not necessarily.  It may be a $25m production but Cirque doesn't jump in without a co-producer; I suspect they put up about half of that.  The show's been consistently hovering around $800-1m gross and I don't think their op costs are > ~$800k/ week, so don't think they're in the red, especially if ATG is buying them out at the reported $20m.

 

 

I wonder what this means for the future of Cirque in New York. 

They're due to co-produce The Wiz, right? And still doing the NFL thing?

Would be a shame to see them go - there's definitely an audience here, it's just Paramour is not the optimal vehicle.  Why don't they just do a regular Cirque show here instead of trying way too hard to do Broadway?

 

Well, now is probably the absolute worst time of the year to be in Montreal.  Summer is where it's at - Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs, Circus Fest, Francofolies - it's basically a non-stop (mostly free!) street party.

That being said, I'd second Place des Arts.

How is your French?
