NEW YORK (AP) — Cirque du Soleil is planning a brand new, eye-popping show on the Las Vegas Strip this spring that flips its typical script. “Mad Apple” will feature stand-up comedians, close-up magic and a live band playing pop music alongside Cirque’s famous acrobats and contortionists. The show — inspired by New York City’s eclectic nightlife of jazz cubs, buskers, comedy shows and live music — will replace “Zumanity” at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. “Mad Apple” will be Cirque’s sixth Las Vegas show and the first all-new one since it emerged from bankruptcy protection with new owners.
