Cirque du Soleil "Elvis" show update

[MARIE]

Cirque du Soleil "Elvis" show update: The newest yet-to-be-titled show, directed by Vincent Paterson, will feature the famous Elvis catalog of songs, re-orchestrated and sung by a group of live female vocalists and a live band. Cirque has access to the old master tapes and has been able to isolate Elvis' voice. "The only male voice you'll hear in the show," says Nadal, "will be that of Elvis."

Current plans call for a mostly biographical structure, involving appearances by characters based on Col. Tom Parker and Priscilla Presley and divided into the various sections of the King's life. This is a fully approved affair by the Elvis camp, so don't expect much of the man's famous dark side. "This is a tribute to Elvis' life," Nadal says, "so we're not going to go there. We're focused on his contributions to the entertainment world." (News, Source: Brian Quinn)

Note: An earlier news story dated 3 September (also from Brian Quinn) indicated that the title of the show may be "Viva Elvis". Elvis Unlimited recently reported that Cique du Soleil Inc. had registered the domain names: VivaElvis.Com and VivaElvisLasVegas.Com

Elvis in Cirque du Soleil

Ciao liebe Elvis Fans,

bei der Suche nach neuen Shows bin ich auf diesen kurzen Bericht gestossen.
Cirque du Soleil ist ja bekanntlich weltweit eine der besten Variete Shows wenn nicht die Beste.
Jetzt machen Sie eine Show ueber Elvis Presley und ich persoenlich denke, dass das wirklich das i Tuepfelchen auf seine Karriere ist. Natuerlich in der Zeitrechnung nach Elvis.

Ich bin echt froh, dass sich, noch heute, Millionen von Menschen immer wieder von Elvis begeistern und inspirieren lassen!

The latest information on the Cirque 'Viva Elvis' show.





Meantime, secrets are spilling out from the new 1,800-seat Aria theater at CityCenter, where the Cirque Elvis show will be presented. Vincent Patterson will direct the show, which will feature a live band and female vocalists accompanying the songs and music of Elvis.

Zowie Bowie’s big band conductor, trumpet player David Perrico, will be one of Cirque Elvis’ musical directors. Elvis’ Memphis and Nashville master tapes have been re-digitized by Cirque’s recording engineers to isolate him so the only male voice in the show will be his!

Cirque’s resident Las Vegas Senior VP Jerry Nadal said: “Elvis will be a biographical structure, with appearances by characters based on his wife, Priscilla Presley, and his manager, Col. Tom Parker. The story is divided into various sections of Presley’s life, and all has the approval of everybody connected to the late King. This is a tribute to Elvis’ life, so we’re focused on his contributions to the entertainment world and not the dark side.”

Priscilla and CityCenter chief Bobby Baldwin have already seen a run-through and given a huge thumbs-up approval. The entire CityCenter cast moved from Montreal to live here and is now in the final months of rehearsals before the opening.

Cirque expanded its powerbase in Las Vegas by veering from its solely circus-themed shows when it premiered The Beatles Love at The Mirage. Then it went one step farther by building an entire show around one performer, Mindfreak star Criss Angel. It continues the expansion from full circus themes with the upcoming tribute, although there will still be the famed acrobatics, I’m told, to heighten the Elvis entertainment experience.

Leider nur auf hollandisch:

Te mooi om te laten liggen Deze screenshot kregen we helaas zonder bronvermelding binnen, maar hij is te leuk om te laten liggen. Het artikel handelt over de aankomende Cirque du Soleil-show in Las Vegas (die eind december in première gaat op de Strip)en is een vertaling van een berichtje op de populaire site EIN. Er staat letterlijk: Brian Quinn tells EIN: "Have just heard through a very reliable source that the final song in this show Will bring the house down. I genuinely don't know what it is but it certainly sounds intriguing!!" Dat betekent: "We hebben zopas via een zeer betrouwbare bron gehoord dat het slotnummer van de show een klapper van formaat wordt. Ik weet echt niet wat het wordt, maar het klinkt veelbelovend.".

Niet iedereen verstaat de kunst van een goede vertaling blijkbaar, want in dit Nederlandstalige websitebericht staat letterlijk dat de show zal eindigen met het nummer "Will Bring the House Down". Of hoe er op die manier elke dag wel nieuwe titels bij komen...
