The City of Los Angeles and Cirque Du Soleil are working on grand plans to bring a permanent show to the Kodak theatre in Hollywood. A deal has already been reached that will put a Hollywood themed Cirque production at the Kodak for 10 years with up to 368 performances a year. The show will be partly funded with public money while Cirque and a private developer will provide the rest.
