A leaked internal document shows a major shake-up at Cirque du Soleil, the company behind a number of Las Vegas shows.<\/p>\n

The “confidential” memo, from Cirque’s President and CEO Stephane Lefebvre, says the organizational changes have the aim of “breaking down silos between divisions…in order to gain agility and rationalize operating costs.”<\/p>\n

You know the drill. Efficiencies. Consolidation. “Increased revenue and optimized profitability.” Folks being shown the door. On the bright side, it could’ve been another bankruptcy, so there’s that.<\/p>\n

The internal memo was sent to Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group (CDSEG) staffers on Feb. 6, 2025 and was shared with us 12 minutes later.<\/p>\n

That’s just how things work now. Ironically, earlier in the evening of Feb. 6, 2025, we were informed by a high-ranking official with a major casino company, “We often write internal documents with you in mind as we know our team members will share them with you and they’ll be Tweeted.” High praise.<\/p>\n

Look, we had to make this more about us. We were the first to share the document. Make sure to watch the Las Vegas Review-Journal for attribution in their inevitable follow-up story about the changes at Cirque. We are just kidding. It’s an editorial policy to remove attribution from RJ stories. Why? The Las Vegas Review-Journal is staffed by boobs.<\/p>\n
