Just Go For It! Celine Dion
In light of what recently happened with Celine Dion, I want to write a little inspiration.
When she accepted the show in Los Vegas with her entire team there was no real knowing if it would even go over. As a matter of fact many producers called Rene to offer free advice, that it would be a career killer. She was even written up by many people in articles calling her career gone. One even said it will be the next Titanic and sink.
Here is her response to all of her critics.
"In Life, if you do not take chances you will never know. Don't just ask the opinions of everyone, because you will go nowhere.
First, you have to believe. Then we went for it! Hey, if we closed in 2 to 3 months, it's just too bad. Just go for it!!!"
The show is performed at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada beginning 15 March 2011, with an estimated 70 performances per year (which makes Celine the top money earner in Vegas, earning $476K a show).[2] The show ranked 26th in Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour (Mid-Year)", earning over 20 million dollars.
According to Pollstar end of year data (2011 - 2013), the show has grossed $116.5 million, playing to 726,346.[5][6][7] In March 2013,René Angélil announced that Celine had extended her residency contract to 2019
