Blue Man Group may leave Orlando for good — has Universal outgrown them?

The pandemic has caused a lot of people to move out of the Orlando area, but three very recognizable men may now be joining that...

An early concept had a moderate Cirque presence on the South campus. I’m under the impression that Disney fought for them to stay exclusive he they caught wind, drawn to life happened, the Universal project died.

It’s official BMG is out at UOR.

I’ve only seen them in Chicago... how did they sell at universal?

I only saw BMG once at Universal around 2010? It was good, but not a repeatable show (for me) like Cirque is.

I remember seeing it as a kid... The auditorium was pretty large and packed.

Then I saw it a couple of years ago... They divided the auditorium in half with a black curtain, cutting out half of the seats... And even THEN, they still had LOTS of empty seats (on two separate showings I saw). I think it was either it's time to retire, or for them to develop a new BMG show.

Cirque Du Soleil and MGM preparing to reopen “O” at The Bellagio on the forth of July. Need to be able to have 50% capacity to break even and it will take 8-10 weeks to get the show up and running.

The fuse has been excruciatingly long, spanning the globe and smoldering for more than a year. But Cirque du Soleil is eager to set off a firecracker on the Fourth of July by reopening its long-running aquatic hit “O” on the Las Vegas Strip.

any rumblings about tickets being sold again or a forecasted opening night?

Saw it once a few years back but was a bit disappointed with the show after reading such great reviews. One thing I've noticed many times was staff 'promoting' the show on City Walk which always made me think they struggled to sell tickets. Was offered reduced price tickets more than once when approaching the parks.

 

[mergatroid]

Still no tickets on sale yet.

"Although no mention was made in the official announcement about “Drawn to Life,” Cirque du Soleil CEO Daniel Lamarre gave a rough idea of the opening date in an interview with the Los Angeles Times."

“We should be able to open sometime in the fall,” Lamarre told the California newspaper, saying the company was “honored to have the opportunity to do a show with the IP [intellectual property] of Disney.”

When Cirque du Soleil announced Wednesday which of its shows would reopen, one title was conspicuously missing: “Drawn to Life,” which was originally expected to debut at Walt Disney Wo…

I know on the Disney-side of Cirque they have been hiring specifically for Cirque but haven't given CMs a timeframe on when they'll be at that location specifically.

When they say "fall", does end of November / early December sound like that timeframe? (*crosses fingers*)

Can we use WDW gift cards to pay for Cirque tickets when booking online? I have never been to Cirque at Disney Springs, so no clue how that all works.

Not certain on gift cards, but we had a credit on our room account last trip and the only way we could buy cirque tickets and do it as a room account charge was in person at the box office. Not even the front desk at the hotel could, they had to do credit card.
But in person at the box office they had the magic band readers. So it’s quite likely the same will be true with Disney gift cards.

Take it for what it's worth, but rumor has it that cast members are being called back to Cirque du Soleil Drawn to Life as of this morning, according to the Ear for Each other facebook group.
