Cirque is living in reality with this show, but also asking you to suspend belief and buy into this madcap night in New York. The fact that Cirque is so allergic to another large-scale collapse is actually a joke in “Mad Apple.” Comic Harrison Greenbaum (whose set is among the show’s many highlights) told Friday’s crowd, “If we make it to Saturday, we will have outlasted ‘R.U.N!’”Īnd that sense of humor is invaluable in “Mad Apple” which comes off as a tight, high-velocity hang in an impressively revamp. It’s not “O,” and certainly is not set up as such a pricey, or especially risky, endeavor. This is not another of the company’s expensive, colossal Strip productions. “Mad Apple” owns its place in the Cirque pantheon. Or, at least costing less than $10 million to develop. “Mad Apple” also had to be responsibly conceived. The show is performed under Lady Liberty’s crown, and also employs a “disco apple.” This is a very large, mirrored, apple you might have seen in Studio 54 that is the show’s signature, spherical effect. “Mad Apple” totally committed here, with its New York-flavored acts, skyline backdrop and such touches as a yellow cab cruising across the stage. From the top, the show needed to be themed for New York-New York, to keep with the resort’s immutable Big Apple theme. The first Cique show to open in more than two years owns its place in the Las Vegas universe. “Mad Apple” is at once a new Cirque show, and an acrobatic exercise in ownership.
