You heard it here first! Cirque show at New York-New York will be named “Mad Apple.” That should have some (wait for it) appeal.™️

Mad Apple includes the usual Cirque aerial and acrobatic acts, but also includes comedians, singers and more traditional cabaret elements.
@johnnykats: They needed to go with a different type of show … they were not interested in spending $60M on a Las Vegas risk after R.U.N.

Mad Apple: the stage is a bar pre-show, and you can mingle with performers on stage before the show starts, which is really cool. Sadly, the music is mostly covers. The standup comedian in our performance was not good. This show seems to have an identity crisis. Great wheel of death finale tho.

I’ve seen all the Cirque shows in Vegas and some outside of Vegas and Mad Apple was fun but probably my least favorite.  Still I hate to see any shows closing.  Just gives fewer reasons to visit.
