Celine Dion's Las Vegas schedule set through July
The schedule for "A New Day," Celine Dion 's popular Las Vegas production, is now set through July, and the latest batch of tickets for the show will hit the market Sunday (1/2).
According to a press release, tickets for Dion's April 13-May 1 appearances will go on sale at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Ticket on-sale information for shows after May 1 hasn't been announced.
The French-Canadian singer debuted her Las Vegas show in March of 2003, and played about 150 nights during her inaugural year at The Colosseum, a venue built at Caesar's Palace specifically for the production.
In 2004, the show--which features a cast of 48 dancers and plays to a crowd of more than 4,000 fans each night it's live--marked its 1 millionth ticket sold.
The production plays Wednesdays through Sundays during select weeks. It ranked second on concert-industry magazine Pollstar's year-end list of 2003's top-grossing live shows, taking in $80.5 million. It also ranks second on Pollstar's just-released 2004 list, with a gross of $80.4 million.
In October, Dion released "Miracle," a collaboration with baby photographer Anne Geddes consisting of a CD, DVD and a book. Dion recorded 13 songs for the project, including the new title track and her renditions of classics including "Brahms Lullaby," "What a Wonderful World" and "Beautiful Boy."
The CD "A New Day ... Live in Las Vegas," which features 13 live tracks and 2 new studio tracks, was issued in June. The CD's first pressing also includes a bonus DVD with a 45-minute documentary dubbed "One Year, One Heart," which follows Dion through the recording process and the creation of the Las Vegas show.
