Look at all the fatalistic fun you’re missing on Twitter!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt should be noted we’re the one calling the show “closed,” not the show itself.<\/p>\n
In an admirable piece of fiction, a news release says, “After launching to critical acclaim, ‘Marilyn: The New Musical’ will be going on a summer hiatus from Tuesday, June 19 through Monday, Sept. 3 in order to further refine the show and prepare for the Las Vegas-created production to launch a national tour. Performances at Paris Las Vegas will resume Tuesday, Sept. 4.”<\/p>\n
Ah, the old “show refinement” ploy.<\/p>\n
“Marilyn, The New Musical” won’t be resuming at Paris, or anywhere else for that matter.<\/p>\n
In fact, we’re going to predict several others shows planned by the producer, writer and director of “Marilyn,” Tegan Summers, won’t be happening as announced, either. Las Vegas is a very small town and word gets around.<\/p>\n
Summers was supposed to bring a series of Broadway-style shows to Las Vegas. The shows were to feature stories about Bettie Page and James Dean, with another involving EDM DJ and producer Steve Aoki.<\/p>\n
Don’t hold your breath.<\/p>\n
While ambitious, Broadway-style theatrical productions are hit-and-miss in Las Vegas. For every “Jersey Boys,” there’s a “Surf, The Musical.” For every “Phantom of the Opera,” there’s an “Avenue Q.”<\/p>\n
For every “Mamma Mia” at Mandalay Bay there’s a “Mamma Mia” at Tropicana. Long story<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe trust the “Marilyn” cast and crew will find new gigs worthy of their time and talents.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
