Cirque du Soleil's 'Viva ELVIS' to open in December in Las Vegas
Los Angeles Times: "If Elvis Presley had lived in Montreal, would his famous catchphrase have been, 'Merci ... merci, beaucoup'?"

This is a great artcal at showing there thought process behind the since. And the thought that the director has. I don’t think that this show will be as successful as the as there beetles show but it might far exceed all of there others shows just because it is elves in vegas and what that town is know for. I just fined it some what cheep that there last two shows have been not there own music. Think that they should start to go back to there shows that they make there own music. I just hop that they are doing what the public wants. Also I heard about this show a long time ago when I when to Vegas and talked to some one that work on one of there shows. So this not something that just came out of the blue. So this was a great article.
It's really exciting that Cirque is making a new show, especially in this economy. Watching the movie that was part of the article was really interesting as well. The movie showed nicely how they came up with the idea for the show and part of the rehearsal process. I hope the show turns out well when it opens.
I think this show has a lot of potential but it is also at a great risk of becoming slightly tacky. Circ has always made incredible shows and I'm sure this one will follow, the visuals will be sure to amaze. However, I hope that Circ does not fall into a pattern of taking an artist and making it into a show. I know that it worked very well for Love, but it could get really repetitive really quickly. This however will be a fun installment for las vegas, a city that has always loved Elvis.
