Meeeee and FRONT ROW for the very first time :whee:

 

 

I have a feeling there will be a special program. They had it for the premiers, the 1000th show and why not now? :)

 

Have fun!!! I'm jealous. Will you have a meet and greet?

I don't think she will bring her twins. They still don't like hearing her sing and cry when she does

"At the 15-year anniversary of her original Caesars deal, Celine Dion remains a singular Strip star"

 

 

post-35385-0-12748000-1521109355_thumb.jpg

 

 

"When Celine Dion performs her landmark show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, she spends a lot of time standing at the very edge of the stage. Her Las Vegas Strip colleagues generally spend more time dancing around, or in Elton John’s case, seated at the piano. Dion dances a bit, but mostly sings, of course, and after 1,077 shows here, she’s still inching closer to the edge of the stage, reaching out to connect with her audience as deeply as she can.

Her performance is open, earnest and vulnerable, creating an emotional proximity to millions of international fans that have come to see her in Las Vegas. We’ve seen many stars; Celine Dion is easily one of the most influential and impactful performers in the history of the Strip.

It was 15 years ago that she played the Colosseum for the first time, on March 25, 2003. That was A New Day, the original show produced by Franco Dragone and AEG exclusively for the brand new, $95 million theater built by Caesars. It was performed 717 times from 2003 to 2007, bringing in more than $500 million in revenue. The current show, Celine, began in 2011 and has raked in more than $250 million.

Although Dion was the same global superstar when she started her Strip residency—Titanic brought “My Heart Will Go On” to the world in 1997—there was no indication her show would become such a colossal success. She originally signed on for 200 shows per year for three years, and entertainment industry observers thought that was too much—too many shows from one artist, too different from the exclusive, limited-run feel that comes to mind when you think of Vegas icons like Elvis, Sinatra or Liberace.

But the grandness of the show and the venue and Dion’s awe-inspiring performances made it the hottest ticket on the Strip, taught everyone another lesson about international tourism and eventually provided the blueprint for the dominant form of live entertainment in Las Vegas today. Britney Spears (with Live Nation) has been given a lot of credit for modernizing the headliner template, but her success—along with that of the other Zappos and Park Theater residents—is a branch on the tree of Celine.

Staying power doesn’t begin to describe Dion. She jokes about getting “All by Myself” out of the way early in the show so she can relax, even though she makes it look effortless. Her voice sounds just as it did in 1990 when she sings “Where Does My Heart Beat Now,” one of her earliest English-language hits. The Titanic theme still closes the show, but the run of songs leading up to the finale are a highlight, paying homage to Prince with “Kiss” and “Purple Rain” before a spirited cover of “River Deep Mountain High” and an emotional take on Queen’s “The Show Must Go On,” a song she has favored since husband and manager René Angélil died in 2016.

Dion’s showmanship has evolved as her perseverance has intensified over 15 years. She’s changed the game to be sure, but she’s still here, on the edge of the stage, giving us everything she’s got."

They do?

I am shocked!

I heard indeed they don’t like her to sing lullabies.

But them crying? I didn’t know that. Poor Céline.

Do they love RC’s music though? Lol.

Yes, she said that they cry in part two of the interview posted in the tour thread.

I'm a bit out of the loop. :-( I know her show is scheduled through June. Are there plans to continue or is that it?

We dont know that. Celine released her statement years ago that it would be 2019. She hasnt announced anything different so unless she does, its 2019. Wether she cancelled shows in 2015 or not, that was more important and im sure Caesars understands that

Well Celine herself in the Asian tour press conference said that she has a year or less left of this contract

Yes she said she had a year left, this is 2018, next year is 2019......

 

Ps. Not being rude or anything (at least TRYING not to come off that way)

Band member said it was extended through 2020 because of cancelled shows in 2014/15. I would assume that the band member is aware of when the contract is up considering that they are a part of the show. Edited by brendanm999

Something could've changed in that window of time, since the band member said this prior to the press conference. Selfishly, I hope Celine is right. If she could promote the album with shows in the US outside of Las Vegas, that would be incredible. Edited by brendanm999

Of course, but also Celine isn't that good with dates and counting years ( as we saw, with her trying to figure out how many years it's been since beauty and the beast and my heart will go on) so I wouldn't be surprised if she just said one year randomly 😂

Actually, you'd be surprised how little her band members know... I've spoken a few of them quite a number of times over the last 15 years and sometimes they know as little as we do. Everything gets decided in her inner circle and when something is 200% definate, they'll hear about it. And her actual band members (not the orchestra) have an indefinate contract, so basically it's quite open.

Yes, but she looked at her people when she said it (like multiple times during the Q&A session), so if she was wrong, someone would've corrected her on the spot (which happens a lot lately).

That's good to know! I didn't know their contracts are indefinite. That would make sense then. Edited by brendanm999

Yeah shes finishing in 2019. There has been no other announcements for an extension, she herself stated its next year for finishing and thats it really. She stated over 5 years ago it was 2019 and in 5 years its stayed that. As CSC said the band members ( or so called sources :giggles: ) are not going to be in the know. She keeps the main things - as said - in her inner circle, Scott,Herself,Denis,Her AEG rep,Caesars, Patrick and possibly other very close musicians such as Kaven. A replacable or temporary (if existant) trumpet player will be very unlikely to know Celines next move
