“This is a Cirque show that is really trying new things.” Or you can go see ‘Mad Apple’ at New York-New York and all of that will be in one show,” said Williams. You can go see a comedian - and that’s four separate shows. “You could go see an acrobatic Cirque show. “Mad Apple” won’t skimp on physical stunts, with acrobats tumbling on top of a New York City taxi, an acrobat swinging on a New York street sign and the show closing with an acrobat doing tricks on an aerial pendulum of the Empire State Building.
“Given the current state of the world and everything else, we wanted to do a piece that was pure entertainment,” said Painter. Unlike many of Cirque’s big-top shows, there will be no narrative. In 2020, it had to suspend its productions around the globe as the pandemic crushed live entertainment. “Mad Apple” will be Cirque’s sixth Las Vegas show and the first all-new one since it emerged from bankruptcy protection with new owners.
“It’s basically a giant party, the greatest night out in New York.” “We really wanted to do something joyous and something celebratory,” veteran producer Simon Painter told The Associated Press ahead of Tuesday’s unveiling.
The show - inspired by New York City’s eclectic nightlife of jazz cubs, street buskers, comedy shows and live music - will replace “Zumanity” at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino in May on the Las Vegas Strip. “Mad Apple” will feature stand-up comedians, close-up magic and a live band playing pop music onstage alongside Cirque’s famous acrobats in a new hybrid form of live entertainment. Cirque du Soleil is planning a brand new, eye-popping show on the Las Vegas Strip this spring that appropriately flips its typical script.
