Cirque du Soleil Presents Second Annual CIRQUE WEEK, 12/1-10

Back by popular demand, Cirque du Soleil presents the second annual CIRQUE WEEK, offering fans the experience of a lifetime with access to a 10-day series of exclusive events. Cirque du Soleil is known worldwide for its unique entertainment experiences featuring high flying acrobats, mystical characters and state-of-the-art technology. CIRQUE WEEK offers fans the opportunity to get an all-access look into how these extraordinary shows come to life nightly. CIRQUE WEEK packages range from $165 for a two-show ticket package to $561 which includes tickets to all seven Cirque du Soleil productions in Las Vegas.

"We are excited to offer fans CIRQUE WEEK for the second year," said Jordan Fiksenbaum, vice president of marketing and public relations for Cirque du Soleil. "We were able to take comments from last year's attendees and make CIRQUE WEEK 2011 even better with an exclusive welcome reception, exciting new workshops and guest speakers including President and CEO Daniel Lamarre."

All packages offer access to the exclusive CIRQUE WEEK events including:

"O" Artist Workshop at the "O" Theatre - In a workshop given by select key characters in "O," attendees will learn how to mime, dance and clown their way across the "O" stage. After the workshop, artists and coaches will host a Q&A session.

Custom Theater Technology Demonstration at The Beatles LOVE Theatre - Visit one of the most technically advanced theaters in Las Vegas - home of The Beatles LOVE - and listen to a state-of-the-art sound demonstration through more than 6,300 speakers. Additionally, the technical presentation will showcase the 11 lifts that make up the custom-built stage which features 360 degree seating.

Inside Cirque: An Exclusive Peek at the Business Side of the Show at the Zumanity Theatre - Cirque fans will get an in-depth look at the myriad of components that make Cirque de Soleil an international success through a unique discussion led by company President and CEO Daniel Lamarre, and a panel of key executives from various departments including Casting and Marketing.

Mystère Bungee Demonstration and Costume Q&A - Guests can enjoy an exclusive demonstration of the bungee act at Mystère and a chance to talk to the artists who take flight 10 times each week. There also will be colorful costumes on display and the Head of Wardrobe will be on hand to talk about the bungee costumes and the challenges of maintaining costumes for this very acrobatic show.

Go Behind the Scenes with Zumanity at the Zumanity Theatre - Guests will have the opportunity to sit through a live rehearsal of one of the show's acts, followed by a Q&A session with the artists and crew in the gorgeous Zumanity Theatre.

Viva ELVIS Q&A at the Viva ELVIS Theatre - Guests can participate in a Q&A with the cast and crew of Viva ELVIS to learn what it takes to bring The King of Rock ‘n' Roll to life nightly. With an onstage demonstration of the Jailhouse Rock set, attendees will see what it takes to move a three-story, 90,000-lb. set piece and learn how the artists perform upside down.

KÀ "Battle 2011" Q&A at the KA Theatre - The finale of KÀ - the gravity-defying battle between good and evil - has been undergoing a major transformation for more than a year, preparing for the addition of new characters to the scene. Members of the cast, artistic and technical teams will discuss what it takes to make such a large change to the show after more than six years and 3,000 performances.

Meet & Greet with Criss Angel at the Criss Angel BELIEVE Theatre - Following the 9:30 p.m. performance of Criss Angel® BELIEVETM on December 10, Magician of the Century Criss Angel will host an exclusive meet & greet for the first 100 CIRQUE WEEK guests.

But it says "December 10, Magician of the Century Criss Angel will host an exclusive meet & greet for the first 100 CIRQUE WEEK guests." So that's only on Dec. 10th? or Dec. 1st-Dec. 10th?

If its the same as last year, there is one night that is designated for BeLIEve and that is when Criss does his Meet n Greet. Its one night for each Cirque show so Dec. 10th must be BeLIEve night.
