A three-dancer mini-troupe from Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity will perform a portion of their Las Vegas show tomorrow at Erotica L.A."Zumanity is the 'sensual side of Cirque du Soleil'," said the Montreal-based company's spokesman, John McCoy. "It goes hand in hand with the sexy feel of Erotica L.A."
McCoy, who has never been to Erotica L.A. and to whom I give credit for not knowing how funny that statement was, said that Cirque du Soleil rarely stages travel-sized versions of its shows, but does make exceptions for events like the Jay Leno show or award show appearances.
The company has several shows running permanently in Las Vegas, including Ka and the Beatles' Love, and one in Orlando, as well as full-scale traveling shows that set up on the outskirts of major cities.
The trio of Zumanity dancers includes Jonel Earl, who was featured in Playboy in a pictorial with the cast.
The rigorous dancing, pliancy, and athleticism required of Cirque du Soleil performers has led to charges that the company only casts orphans. This is not true.
The Zumanity striptease snippet will take place tomorrow at 4 p.m. on the "Sensual Stage" (I am collecting royalties from event organizers for naming an edifice after this time in my life), followed by an "orgasm contest".
