This was an interesting insight to this show. the article caught my eye because I saw the original version of this show when I was very little and it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen, I was disappointed when I went back in middle school to find out that the red coats had been replaced with scantly clad women. Regardless, the show is a feat of automation and pyrotechnics and I was surprised to see so many of the cast members coming to the show without any sort of theatre degree.
I agree with Jackson...I was really upset when they decided to make this show (and all of Treasure Island, now TI) trashy. I remember the old one was really awesome, and no parent would have had reservations about taking their kid to see it. I think the show still serves a versatile audience because of the pyrotechnics and other effects, but I hate that it is no longer family-friendly. That's happening to most of Vegas and I find it really upsetting. I think that the Vegas market may be losing some money from families because of it. Anyways, I really do admire the work that goes into doing this show four times a night. It's important not only that the performers and audience members stay safe, but also that the show is consistent. There's no room for messing around with such a quick and complex turn-around. This article reminded me that there are so many shows on the Strip that need technicians, managers, etc. There are more opportunities there than just the big ticket shows.
