Line 154:
* [[Cirque Du Soleil]] accomplished this trope twice over:
** Starting with its 1987 tour ''[[Le Cirque Reinvente]]'', Cirque did a lot to raise circus out of the kiddie entertainment ghetto it had fallen into in North America. Now, not only are there many successful "contemporary circus" troupes/companies that play to a wide variety of audiences, but [[The Mockbuster|blatant imitators]] of Cirque's style (which was derived from European and Asian circuses) have sprung up.
** Their first Las Vegas resident show, ''[[Mystere]]'', helped change that city's entertainment scene. Siegfried and Roy's magic show at the Mirage had opened four years prior and was also a big game changer after years of increasingly stale showgirl revues, but ''Mystere'' was actually taken seriously as theater, to the point that [[Time (magazine)|''Time'' magazine]]'s theater critic named it one of the best shows of 1994. While it would lead to many acclaimed sister productions in the city, other Vegas casino-hotels imported such productions as Blue Man Group, ''Jersey Boys'', and ''[[The Lion King]]'', often with huge success, resulting in a much more diverse range of entertainment for tourists.
