What do you say when a color-splashed attraction goes dark? “Hiatus” is the time-worn explanation from Bob Marley’s Hope Road at Mandalay Bay.
Show reps claim every little thing is gonna be all right, to borrow Marley’s oratory. But the facts are, Hope Road is shutting down Jan. 5. The show will take a sabbatical for re-tooling (there’s a term we can now exhaust), planning for a spring return.
A statement issued last week by a company rep talked of welcoming “enthusiastic crowds to our critically acclaimed and revolutionary immersive music experience” and “earning consistent 5-star reviews.”
The cast is fantastic, says the company and we agree.
