Cirque du Soleil and CIM Group have announced that Cirque du Soleil will open a major new show at Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards, in 2010.
The $100-million production is the centerpiece of a 10-year agreement between the two companies. A cast of 75 performing artists will present the show in the 3,400-seat theatre 368 times a year.
While few details about the production’s content are available at this time, Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté announced that it would focus on Hollywood’s place in the history of cinema. Since its debut in Los Angeles 20 years ago, Cirque du Soleil has brought nine touring shows to the area. During this time, more than three million people have attended 1,360 performances.
