CIRQUE’S PLAN B FOR CRISS ANGEL

December 31, 2007 - 10:07 am
 

Cirque du Soleil has taken out a huge insurance policy to cover its first headliner, illusionist Criss Angel .

Vegas Confidential has also learned that Cirque is working on a Plan B in the event that the "Mindfreak" star was not able to carry out his commitment to do 4,000 performances in the $100 million production at Luxor over the next 10 years.

The show is to open next summer.

Angel, 40, has also signed to star in a film version of the depression-era comic strip "Mandrake The Magician."--NORM CLARKE, Vegas Confidential
