As an outsider it looks like Cirque is a fairly tightly run company and they dont seem to be shy about closing shows that have run thru their usefullness. So when their contract runs out again they could very well install a new show if they feel it is financially viable or pull out all together. If they did pull out it might behoove Disney to do an arena style show of their own. I have always thought that DTD would have been a good home for a ligit theater that hosted a standing production of either Beauty and the Beast, Lion King or Mary Poppins.

I don't read JH anymore but I BET he included lots of homespun terms that made him seem like Uncle Jesse from "The Dukes of Hazzard" and I'll wager tomorrow night's dinner that he referred to four weeks ago as, "Remember WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY back in December?" It's FOUR WEEKS AGO D*****BAG!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH Sorry but THAT REALLY gets up my goat.
