Meeting the 250-capacity requirement, with 25 feet separating the stage from the audience and 6 feet between clusters of ticket holders, forced the show’s move. “Fantasy” has always played to a 350-seat theater. The venue was the original home to Blue Man Group from 2000-2006, “Hairspray’s” short-lived run and a series of headliner shows featuring Earth Wind & Fire, Lindsey Buckingham and Liza Minnelli. Luxor Theater has been home to big productions over the years. The topless revue, running for 21 years in the hotel-casino, is moving out of the Atrium Showroom to the larger theater so it can follow COVID-19 reopening protocols.

“Fantasy” is what “R.U.N” was not - a hit. The promenade still bears the graffiti art, fake manhole covers and empty gift shop from Cirque’s failed “R.U.N” production.Įxpect it all to be covered up as an uncovered production, “Fantasy,” moves into an open-ended run in the 1,500-seat theater beginning 10:30 p.m. I’ve experienced a slightly unsettling sense of deja vu while walking through the venue’s entrance.
