You wonder how BleauLive Theater plans to compete for residency headliners in Las Vegas’ hypercompetitive entertainment market.
Simple answer: It won’t.
“We are not looking at traditional, 20-show residencies that would park for three weeks,” says Fedor Banuchi, Fontainebleau’s senior vice president of entertainment, special events and sponsorship. “We’re looking at touring acts, weekend engagements, someone who will come in and do two shows a quarter.”
The 3,800-capacity theater has been running for a month and is still developing an identity. Post Malone is the only ticketed headliner at the venue, having headlined two shows over New Year’s Eve weekend.
