From Britney to Bruno: Those who followed Celine to Las Vegas

 

By John Katsilometes Las Vegas Review-Journal

September 24, 2018 - 12:17 pm

 

Before Celine Dion arrived, the idea of a major-theater residency was largely foreign on the Strip. One obstacle was, there was no suitable theater for such a run.

 

That changed when Caesars Palace dove into a major project, the Colosseum, for Dion’s “A New Day …” show in 2003.

 

Dion’s critical and box office success helped initiate the superstar residency production shows that dominate the Las Vegas entertainment scene today. A few that followed the Dion model, in no particular order:

 

Elton John

 

Sir Elton often referred to the Colosseum as “The house that Celine built.” He performed 450 shows in 14 years during his “Red Piano” and “Million Dollar Piano” productions, which ended in May.

 

Cher

 

Though she was not a big fan of playing the Colosseum (she found it a bit too stodgy for her freewheeling stage show), Cher did play Caesars for 2 1/2 years ending in February 2011. She has remained a headlining force The Park Theater.

 

Britney Spears

 

Spears’ team reviewed Dion’s shows at the Colosseum before being convinced Britney could make a similar run at the then-Axis theater. Spears’ arrival forged a renovation of that room, bringing it closer to the Colosseum’s 4,298 capacity (down from 7,000), and Spears performed a successful run from December 2013 to last New Year’s Eve. We are expecting an announcement, any time now, of Spears’ residency at The Park Theater for 2019.

 

Bette Midler

 

Her run crashed into the recession of 2009, but her production certainly complemented Dion’s earlier “A New Day …” shows at the Colosseum.

 

Rod Stewart

 

Following the Elton legacy-rock-star pattern, Stewart opened what was originally a two-year residency at the Colosseum in August 2011 and remains a theater stalwart.

 

Shania Twain

 

Her uniquely produced “Still the One” show, which featured a horse onstage, opened on Dec. 1, 2012, and ended Dec. 13, 2014, at the Colosseum. AEG Live officials tapped into her Canadian fan base by using the database built from Dion’s French-Canadian loyalists.

 

Gwen Stefani

 

The Zappos Theater headliner gained fame with No Doubt in the mid-1990s and performed songs from multiple decades up through her current solo career.

 

Mariah Carey

 

The songstress who has recorded 17 No. 1 hits has headlined twice at the Colosseum, with “No. 1 to Infinity” from 2015-17 and to “The Butterfly Returns,” resuming in February.

 

Bruno Mars

 

If you consider that The Park Theater was designed to tap into the success of Dion’s long run north of the Strip, Mars — who clearly relishes the more intimate confines of that venue — has to be in the conversation.

 

Lady Gaga

 

See above. By the time Gaga headlined T-Mobile Arena in August 2017, the resident headlining trend had created a glut of stars on the Strip. Before her show, Gaga tweeted to Cher and Spears: “I WOULD COME TO YOUR SHOWS BUT I’M PLAYING ACROSS THE STREET @ sametime WHY IS THIS HAPPENING @cher @britneyspears #Vegas #JoanneWorldTour.”

 

Celine was off that night, but somewhere, you had to believe, she was smiling.

 

Queen

+ They forgot Aerosmith and Backstreet Boys.

Ill be honest, i would love to go to Vegas sometime next year, but in this instance I think celine would be number 4 on my reason to go there. Im not a huge fan fan of this show. Ive just moved and obviously thats a process, so my money has been tighter. Ive been happy to be there for some major moments, both premieres and the first show without rene. If i manage a vegas vacation this next year, i am most interested in lady Gaga's new show, aerosmith also has a new residency starting..

And i am hoping queen + adam lambert add some more dates. I would love to see all those first to be honest.

 

As for celine, i love to touring celine so much more. I suppose my first five concerts i attended were all vegas shows, and the last five have all been touring shows. I think the last five were the best so i am saving up for hopefully a us tour for celine and ill go everywhere near indiana!!! That'll be dangerous for the pocketbook lol

I am not a huge fan of the current Vegas show. I loved A New Day very very very much. But still my love for Céline brought me to Vegas to celebrate her birthday with her. I wanted to experience the pit but that's never going to happen.

 

I can't under no circumstances attend the last show for a few reasons.

1: personal reason (nothing to do with Céline),

2: my last Vegas trip cost way too much wasted money

3: ticket prices for the final show, no way I'm gonna sit somewhere in the Mezzanine for that price! It would make me sick to my stomach.

4: I'd rather save my money for a good concert ticket in the future. I could go buy 4 VIP to 4 concerts in Paris for 1 ticket in the front rows in Vegas for the final night.

5: I don't miss being at the final show for A New Day, so I doubt I'll miss it for this time either.

[SuperLove4Celine]

Unless I win the lottery, or get a much higher paying job, I have little to no interest in attending Closing Night. The amount being charged is absolutely disgusting. Especially for what little of a show you get. I put myself into debt during the “A New Day...” years, and still feel very satisfied with my choices doing so after having paid everything off years ago. There is no way I’d do the same for the basic, run of the mill show “Celine” is in its current form. Especially with its lackluster, uninspired, and far from unique setlist.

Same. Usually I'm like ugh lucky people attending the show/concert and wishing I'd be so lucky but nope not for a second this time. I'm disgusted by the price of the final show. And I'm glad I am feeling this way because it will make the coming months easier and I can't wait for Vegas to end.

[Xpresso]

Did I just land in the Personal Finances thread by mistake?

[biscuit2]

I hope Celine will going to pay tribute to M. Aznavour like she did with Jacques Brel in the show.

No wonder!!!

"the amazing thing about this show is that everyone comes out blown away, even people who don’t care about Dion or he know her music. The reason it has been so successful is because she has true star power, is a consummate entertainer, and her world class voice is backed by amazing costumes, lighting, stagecraft, extremely elaborate visual effects including 3D projections, and a 31-piece orchestra."

 

Makes me proud to read even non-fans like her show.

Also, 3D projections, really? What part of the show would that be in?

Maybe the 2011-2014 Special effects like the hologram effect.

 

See! That’s what people remembered when Céline is doing a tour/residency show. The big prods, lightings, visuals, dancers, effects, etc Since A New Day besides her Amazing Voice. So, that’s why they should be consistent on that part. I already said that before. If she wants an intimate show she can just use a smaller venue since some wants an intimate show (so used a smaller venue that fits that category)

 

When they hear céline - they’ll think it will be an amazing show with amazing visuals or in short amazing/big prods

You have it completely wrong, it’s the opposite: most people come to see and hear (just) Céline and don’t care about the production. She has the star power, the stage presence and The Voice. That’s why people come to see her (and not Madonna or Britney or Cirque).

Thanx for posting. But I don't get this whole Ticketmaster-crab, would someone up here pls. explain? Is that the reason, why the last show ticketprices are that high?

But mostly i hear people who wants to see her show is because of her songs, voice and the whole show also because of the visuals and etc.

 

But it’s your opinion so i don’t want this to get loooong just to prove a point or what. It’ Not a big deal.

Agree, at least from what I've heard when she had concert here in Indonesia, they praised about how simple the show and Celine herself yet the show still amazing, the voice and her presence is truly a star without gimmick.

 

But then again, I don't mind with spectacular stages. I love every kind of her show as long as she delivered great singing.

[Celine Fan 77]

I hope Celine will going to pay tribute to M. Aznavour like she did with Jacques Brel in the show.

 

We've lost two music legends since her last show in Vegas: Aretha Franklin and now Charles Aznavour. Hopefully she'll do a sort of medley in tribute to both or cover one of Aznavour's classics + perform Natural Woman.

Céline Dion: In Memoriam. New show 2021. No thank you! She doesn’t need to ‘tribute’ every other singer who passes away.

No she doesn't...

 

She only should do tributes to artists who still live.

 

Céline Dion: reCovering

[ehild]

There are a TON of tickets available for resale on Ticketmaster and StubHub (which confirms my theory bots bought up all the tickets....I blame Russian hackers LOL). What's obscene is that even though they're more than what the tickets costs initially they're still waaaaay less than Ticketmaster prices are for standard and platinum tickets. This doesn't make any sense!!

LMAO! Yet, Britney’s show was recently awarded Best Residency Show (not Celine’s), and Cirque has to have multiple shows along The Strip because the demand for them is so high. (We may as well include “Le Rêve” in the mix since it’s practically a Cirque show.)

I wasn't saying that Céline has the best show because people mainly come to see/hear her sing

I totally agree Céline's show is really subpar at the moment (well for a few years now) and that there are far better shows on the Strip, production wise.

She sings the same french song in vegas. She pays tribute to eddy marnay since 2015. A change will be nice

I don't think singing Quand Ça Balance can be considered a tribute to Eddy. If it were, she'd sing DAODA or MAMAQ, and introduce him...

 

But I do agree a new French song in the setlist is highly overdue! I still don't understand why EUS wasn't added... or any other song from EUS.

[mirage]

Because they stupid and somehow Céline isn't that creative.

 

"today show" you have a new French album out, yes I have. Let sing your Vegas songs okay byeee

Any of her French songs would be better than QCB.....

I guess it doesn’t matter now. Shake my head.

The weird thing is we know they can do it.... she performed 'Ne me quitte pas' at the Bambi Awards (while also doing an English song). So why didn't they go this route when EUS was out is beyond me.. She doesn't have anything more to prove, no?
