Celine Dion: A New Day

September 6th, 8:30pm
Coliseum at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas
Cirque-Style Show/Concert, we went with Pam

She's studio-perfect in concert. Her voice isn't even slightly less than what you hear on CD. Add to this Franco Dragone designing a dazzling, never-ending parade of floating, twirling, spinning visual surprises backed by a colossal building-sized digital video display that was so crystal clear you had to squint to tell if the images weren't actually there sometimes. And I can't forget the 42 dancers in colorful costumes; it's a fully choreographed production. And Celine did "River Deep, Mountain High" which is one of my favorite Celine covers, so I was thrilled with that. She also did a tribute to Frank Sinatra, some Stevie Wonder and all the favorites.

Had the show not ended so predictably (with Titanic/My Heart Will Go On) and so abruptly without even an encore, I'd give it a full five stars.
