DION TO CLOSE A NEW DAY IN DECEMBER

 

CELINE DION is planning a Christmas 2007 farewell to Las Vegas after announcing she'll bring the curtain down on her hit A NEW DAY show on 15 December (07). The Canadian singer has been performing to packed houses at the Colosseum theatre - a venue specially built to house her show - since March 2003. In a statement released yesterday (04JAN07), Dion said, "I know this will be the best year yet." Dion initially signed a three-year, $100 million (GBP51.3 million) contract to perform the show at Caesars, but extended it through to the end of 2007. Producers claim as many as 2.5 million people have seen the show since it opened. A New Day will be filmed later this month (JAN07) for a TV special and DVD. Dion plans to mark the final year of the show with new costumes and by changing aspects of her performance.

 

CELINE TO END FIVE YEARS IN VEGAS WITH A TV SPECIAL

 

Celine Dion plans to conclude her five-year stint at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas by taping her show, "A New Day," for a television special and DVD, the producers of the show said Thursday. They did not indicate which network would air the special. According to a news release from the hotel, Dion's last performance will take place on December 15, but she'll return to the Colosseum, a $95-million theater built for her production, in January to tape the special.

[CSCfan]

ContactMusic has always been a worthless source of info/news..

Celine Dion - Her Show Closes This Year, But Her Heart Will Go On!

 

Boo-hoo. I just discovered Celine Dion will sing her last note in Las Vegas on December 15 this year, when her long running one-woman show "A New Day" shuts its doors at Ceasar's Palace.

 

Caesar's has not yet announced a replacement for Celine's multimedia show. We can only imagine the tired-of-touring singing stars that might line up for the job. We vote for Christina Aguilera. Classy. Soulful. What a voice!

 

Hopefully a new, appropriate Goddess will be installed.

 

I am not a crazy Celine Dion fan buy she will be a hard act to follow. Her's is an amazing show. I saw it while renewing my wedding vows in 2005. It was our big date right before the big day. Before the show begins a camera crew captures individuals in the audience, and shows them on the HUGE screen. I noticed Regis Philbin in the audience. And I when the camera settled on my hubby and I, he (hubby) put his arm around me and mouthed for the audience "I love this woman." It was so much fun. Sigh.

 

Later, the screen in transformed into part of a multimedia extravaganza, with many different kinds of images, and dozens of dancers gracing the stage. Celine flies and runs and dances about with her trademark drama and flare. She sings all her classics. It's very entertaining!

 

We should thank Celine for bringing the cool back to performing in Vegas. Wasn't it she who brought attention to the fact that Las Vegas entertainment was no longer just about Showgirls, Elvis and Wayne Newton? She opened the door for a more modern kind of entertainer to grace the Las Vegas stage. She made it popular for five star performers to have ongoing gigs.

 

Caesar's built her a $95 million theater designed for her special production. It lasted for five years.

 

When she began, she was just sort of bouncing back from taking two years off and caring for her sick husband -- he was recovering from cancer -- and she was a new mom. It was an alternative to touring and wearing herself out traveling the world to perform (as she had for many years prior to hubby's illness and babies birth).

 

With her Las Vegas job, she could spend days with baby, and prance around the stage performing at night. Not a bad gig for a big star with a small child.

 

She had a relationship with Caesar's prior. She had performed there. And she renewed her wedding vows there in a nuptial extravaganza in the nineties. Who can forget her Vegas Show-girlish bridal head dress (much as we'd like to forget it).

 

Celine is a Grammy award winning singer who is one of the top selling female artists of all time -- up there with Britney, Witney, Barbara and, of course, Mariah.

 

She originally signed a three year contract with a nice paycheck of $100 million. A favorite of vacationers and honeymooners, the run was later extended through 2007. Millions of people have sat in that audience to catch her show.

 

This final year, we hear there will be some new costumes (will she retire that red dress?) and new numbers. If you are there this January, you may catch the filming of a TV Special and DVD (expected in late January).

 

Ofcourse, this could be a Barbara or Cher kind of thing ... there is always the chance she will come back for an encoure or never actually shut down production. But producers say that if you want to catch the show before she retires it, keep in mind that final tix for performances in August through December 2007 go on sale in March.

according to Darryl from absolutewrite.com

 

I just heard they have killed the entire first row for the dvd taping nights- no one sits there apparently, so BB would be first row. This is to allow the various cameras and cables and things.

OMG! Now I wish i had BB tickets Well if this is true, I will be in 3rd row instead of 4th! lol

[kdw123]

So will they be adding another new number to AND before filming the DVD. Celine said in an interview a few months ago that they would be adding new numbers. So far all they have added is RDMH. I am excited about RDMH, but was hoping for more songs. Currently there are less songs now than what there were when the show started so I was hoping for at least 1 more song.

[CSCfan]

I hope so too....but I don't know.. perhaps there will be, perhaps there won't..

[Koolan]

It's probably too late to add another number before the taping.

[celinefanonline]

i think they probably add unison remix!! i think it would be cool for AND

or more songs too, would love to see

[SuperLove4Celine]

They could be waiting to add another new number until either this week or the week of. With 5 different nights of taping there wouldn't be any worry about messing up a new number. They'd have 5 chance to get it right. LOL

I told them I was from South Africa and the woman emailed me and asked me to send my picture

She phone me back and said "I didn't know there were white people in South Africa!"

Duh

 

Anyway - I have my interview on Friday night at Caesars.

[VinnyT.]

Dion goes on: Celine Dion's "A New Day" may be in its final year, but TV cameras are poised to record the Caesars Palace show for posterity -- not to mention an upcoming DVD and TV special.

 

Wednesday through Sunday, high-definition cameras will capture the show inside Caesars' Colosseum, according to spokeswoman Kris Lingle.

 

Beyond additional lighting for television, "it will be as close to a show night as possible," Lingle notes. Additional filming will take place backstage and prior to the performances.

Dejvej, I bet she'll sing one or two more songs the following days so that they can include as many songs as possible in the final cut! I'm sure of it!

I REALLY hope she does, Seba! But it would be far better, if she'd put Fever back into the show... along with a new song or WAWW at the end again...

 

 

but also isn't it kinda hypocritical to record extra songs, that aren''t in the show, or not anymore in the show...

Edited January 15, 2007 at 01:09 PM by Davey84

[thevoice]

i wonder if there is a chance she'll sing the entire show live just for the recordings...i mean it's gonna be so obvious she is lip synching , i hope she wont do it . i know they r probably not even thinkning about it ...

 

also - i wonder if we r going to get TFTEISYF and maybe other songs that r no longer part of the show...i wish they'll include her performance of "god bless america"
