I’ve heard of Eric Grilly because I live in Nevada with Vegas nearby. I always think it’s interesting when a president steps down because it’s usually a sign the company is not doing well. This seems to be the case with Cirque du Soleil because after the pandemic their company has not been doing well with the combination of lost audiences to Covid, and also the fact the commodity is dying off from the wonder it once was. Theatre in general has suffered from the online age of zoom, but I can’t imagine what it has done to the show that involves human contrition to replace the zoo. I think what Cirque du Soleil does is innovative and exciting, but it seems like a testy business to get into. If Grilly is leaving, I can’t imagine trusting going to work for the company at least within the next few years.
