Is Cirque Du Soleil Losing Its Touch? Iris, the company's Los Angeles show which is closing in January, "isn't the company's only high-profile bust. The show joins a list of flops that have tarnished the global Cirque brand in recent years" - including
Viva Elvis in Las Vegas,
Zaia in Macao (which had been planned, like
Iris, for a ten-year run),
Zed in Tokyo and the touring show
Banana Shpeel.
