Cirque du Soleil is shutting down two shows that have run for a combined 61 years. But the iconic productions are not among its shows on the Strip.
Blue Man Group is closing in New York and Chicago, announced Cirque CEO and President Stéphane Lefebvre in a memo issued Friday. The New York show, which launched the production company, has been running for 34 years. The Chicago production has been staged for 27.
Blue Man Group at Luxor continues to run. Cirque acquired Blue Man Group in July 2017.
“Despite all our efforts, we have to admit that we have reached a certain limit in these two cities in terms of ticket demand,” Lefebvre said in his company memo. “It is time for the Blue Men to explore new markets, starting with Orlando from April onwards.”
