Do You "Believe"/week5/PR

Criss Angel, who is known for his hit TV show "Mindfreak", recently opened a live show named "Believe" in Las Vegas. The previews of this new show and the reviews over the past week are not as good as hoped. Although the show is considered in the preview stage, a time to work out the kinks, audience members were furious at what they saw. They said that everything was very predictable and that it had all been seen before. Criss Angel is known for his breakthrough illusions, but audience members said they were nowhere to be found. So far there have not been any positive reviews about this show, except to say that there is potential. Criss himself has not issued a statement but his PR representative wrote to the all-star blogger, Perez Hilton, to say that fans loved it and gave him a standing ovation. Here's hoping that everything gets straightened out by October 31st, the official opening of the show, because Criss has signed a ten year contract to perform the show 8 days a week. The bad reviews could affect ticket sales drastically. Before the internet you really had to go to a show to get the feeling of it. Now, you can get pictures, first hand accounts, and even video of the actual preformance before you go. Apparently the show, which is teamed with Cirque Du Soleil, costs $85 million to put on. Nothing that costs that much could be that bad. Criss needs to make a statement himself and address the obvious problems with the show and reassure his future ticket buyers. Nothing starts out perfect and with some fine tuning I'm sure Criss can make believers out of "Believe."
