Priscilla is sadly ending its engagement at the Venetian four weeks earlier than scheduled. July 21 will be the final performance in Vegas. I guess it will not be getting a sit down.

So what is the cast going to do? are they just going to get a break until San Francisco on Aug. 21? Is it just this stop that's cancelled- or is the Tour done.
Robin -- your statement makes no sense, the reason it's closing early is because its NOT doing well.
When did it open?

I didn't even know it was in Las Vegas, and I'm in Arizona which is a hop and a skip away. They really should have promoted this more. I heard they aren't really promoting it in Vegas either.

STOP IT. That's mean, Joe. I've gone to Vegas thrice to see Celine's show. She is just breathtaking and stunning and amazing and gorgeous and spectacular and every other perfect adjective you can think of.
I still don't understand how his statement makes any sense. How can you say it 'can do well' when obviously it didn't?
Isn't Rock of Ages doing quite well there?

I do think with the right advertising it could have done better then it did. They should have a made a big splash when entering Vegas- instead of treating at just another tour stop. They should have done publicity stunts- i.e. Characters invading shopping malls and the casino passing out flyers. A decked out bus going up and down the strip, photo op with characters near the theatre, weird disco cocktails being served at a bar near by, and of course the cast recording blasting all over.

Is/has THE LION KING been the only successful musical on the strip?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
