Vegas News February 1, 2004 - With Jay Michaels in Los Angeles - Replacement for Siegfried and Roy Show?


"They say Goodbye and we say Hello"

The rumor mill has been circulating in Los Angeles about what show will replace Seigfried and Roy at the Mirage.

The long-running show was cut short last year when one of the tigers attacked Roy, carrying him off the stage by the neck. Since then, the media has been preoccupied with the election campaign, Michael Jackson, Koby Bryant, and just about everything else. We heard Roy is still in critical condition. One thing is sure, the show has ended for good.

Word has it from good sources that the ubiquitous entertainment company that has made its way onto many stages along the strip, Cirque de Soleil could be planning a show that could hit right to the heart of the baby boomer audience Las Vegas thrives upon.

It is unclear at this time exactly what type of show it will be but our sources have learned that it will be a "Beatles" themed show based around one of the single most popular musical groups of our lifetime.

With only two of the Beatles alive and well they can't bring the Beatles to Las Vegas, however the music and the feelings that surrounded that era would be a proven winner to the hundreds of thousands of fans who would find it a show they could truly relate to.

Just as true as there are "Eight Days a Week" it's a fact that there will be a show replacing the dynamic duo who dazzled audiences from around the world at the Mirage!

Unconfirmed rumors hold the 'Fab Four' - Beatles Tribute group - now playing at the Vegas Hilton might be the other part of the act.

In an unscientific poll conducted by Los Angeles radio personality Jay Michaels regarding whether people would like a show featuring the music of Great Britain's greatest import, it was unanimous: Everyone answered with a resounding, "Yea, Yea, Yea, Yeaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Stay tuned!
