Cirque Du Soleil’s Mad Apple premiers in Las Vegas
The New York-New York Hotel and Casino was the host of the latest production from the entertainment group.
Map Apple, the latest offering from Cirque Du Soleil premiered and was attended by Grammy Award-winner Anderson .Paak, and multiple Vegas Golden Knights players, including Reilly Smith and Deryk Engelland.
The show itself features stand-up comedy, a first for a Cirque Du Soleil show. Hosts and comedians Brad Williams, Harrison Greenbaum and freestyle comedy rapper Chris Turner entertain guests and introduce acts.
Musical director Xharlie Black delivers a live musical tour of some of New York’s best music. The show includes five lead vocalists, a five-piece band with six daring acrobatic acts, and 48 cast members.
Simon Painter, Mad Apple’s co-creator and executive producer said: “We are thrilled to get the joyous Mad Apple party started in Las Vegas.”
Painter continued: “From the moment guests enter the theater, they are whisked away to one of the most beloved cities in the world with a show that fuses hilarious acts from multiple comedians and daring acrobatics with the entertainment and eclecticism of New York City.”
Eric Grilly, the Cirque du Soleil President of Resident and Affiliate show divisions stated: “Mad Apple is a completely new approach to Cirque du Soleil entertainment. It’s an action-packed experience designed for today’s audience, who increasingly want to consume entertainment as they do content – in an exciting, highly compelling and ever-shifting manner.”
Co-created by Simon Painter and Neil Dorward, Mad Apple is the first show in collaboration between Cirque du Soleil and The Works, Painter’s company that was purchased by Cirque du Soleil in 2019.
Grilly continued: “With Mad Apple, you never know what’s coming next – from vocals, off-script comedy, and live music with our horns and drum line to acrobatics – all wrapped in an incredibly fun party atmosphere that differentiates it from other shows.”
The show is performed from Friday through Tuesday with two shows nightly at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM.
