If you’ve always wanted to immerse yourself in Cirque, but didn’t quite know how to go about doing it, circle the week of Nov. 29 to Dec. 5 on your calendar. The dates mark the debut of Cirque Week, seven days of shows and behind-the-scenes events all wrapped up in a single package.
It starts at 11 a.m. Nov. 29 with a welcome reception featuring Criss Angel from Believe, and continues with special events including a demonstration of the technical wizardry of The Beatles Love Theatre at The Mirage, a behind the scenes look at Zumanity, a Viva Elvis Unplugged musical performance and Q&A session, a look at what it takes to stay in shape for O, a Mystère drum demonstration and costume Q&A.
Cirque Week packages start at $160, which gets you into two shows and all the special events, and rise to $445 for seven shows and all the specials.
