Cirque Du Soleil’s New Show Mad Apple Comes to New York-New York Hotel & Casino

Think you know the Big Apple? You’ve never seen it like this before. Introducing Cirque du Soleil’s exciting new Las Vegas production Mad Apple, a delicious cocktail of music, comedy, magic and mayhem that brings the magic of NYC to Sin City. Hosted by New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Mad Apple features a star-studded cast including Comedian Brad Williams, Freestyle Rapper Chris Turner and Vocalist Xharlie Black alongside 39 talented cast members.

“Mad Apple will deliver a night of joy and entertainment with the thrilling backdrop of New York City,” said Simon Painter, Mad Apple concept co-creator and executive producer. “We’ve taken inspiration from the city’s rich musical history, legendary comedy scene and unrivaled nightlife, and combined it with the wow factor of Cirque du Soleil to create an experience that will feel like a giant party from start to finish.”

Travelers can expect an eventful evening with pre-show magic and boozy libations at the stunning stage bar, a live band playing hits inspired by New York’s greatest musicians and composers, daring circus acts and electrifying entertainment designed to pay homage to NYC’s unique nightlife culture. Divided into six brash acts, this show is unlike anything Cirque du Soleil has ever done before.

“We’re excited to share a completely reimagined experience from Cirque du Soleil with a show that fuses the spirit and creativity of the two ‘Cities that Never Sleep’,” said Eric Grilly, Cirque du Soleil president of resident and affiliate show divisions. “Cirque has long been known for celebrating the limits of human ability and Mad Apple will continue this revered tradition. To this, we’re adding acts and artists you wouldn’t expect to find on a Cirque du Soleil stage. The end result will be exactly what we’re known for — creative, astonishing and enjoyable live entertainment.”

The staff at New York-New York is excited too with President & COO Mike Neubecker saying, “There couldn’t be a better fit for a resort inspired by New York City than Mad Apple. We are beyond thrilled to welcome this new evolution of Cirque du Soleil and know our guests will be in for the time of their lives.”

Travelers looking to experience the adventure of Mad Apple for themselves can catch the show several times a week with tickets starting at just $49.
