In December of last year, the grandly titled Steve Wyrick Theatre and Entertainment Complex shut down or went dark, as they say in showbiz. But the lights are still on, night and day, blazing away. You’d never know that the theater is financially drained, and that the acts it housed, including Wyrick’s own “Real Magic,” have vanished.
Wyrick’s empty theater is emblematic of the state of entertainment on the Strip in early 2010. The keyword: attrition. The last months of 2009 saw a slow leak of talent from the Strip’s showrooms, with acts from household-name headliners to has-beens and once-wases alike making for the exits.
The Wyrick Theater is not the only closing in Vegas. Numerous amounts of shows have been canceled or cut due to the strain on the economy. Unfortunatley chances are we will see even more cuts through this year. To read more on this article click the link to the Las Vegas Sun.
