She finished with a very moving rendition of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. Celine had covered the song on previous tours, but this time the lyrics came seemed more poignant and autobiographical to her, “Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking, but my smile still stays on”. I think it’s safe to say that the highlight and of the night was the Queen cover, “The Show Must Go On” (I’m sure many of you would agree).

That said, they really nailed it – and those boys and gals can dance! Other additions to the show included virtual duets with the Bee Gees and the king himself, Elvis Presley. It really reminded me of Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett… Very “cheek to cheek”! During costume changes the band and backing singers performed quite a few non Celine songs, definitely trying to appeal to the wider audiences. There was a jazz medley, (and I’m ashamed to admit) I had never heard the song “Mr Paganini” originally by Ella Fitzgerald. Under her new management and new musical director, there had been quite a few changes to the show.

As cheesy as it sounds, we’ve got Celine’s back and she knows it. But going to see Celine on opening night with so many of the audience “regulars”, was like a family reuniting.

The set list was an emotional roller coaster. Everyone in the Colosseum knew about the turmoil Celine and her family are currently going through. It was so nice to see so many of my friends make the final cut and myself included! Although I didn’t see me at the time, thanks to social media magic, I was tagged in a photo!Ĭeline took to the stage and started the show with “I Surrender”, it was very emotional for her and for the audience. When the lights when down and the curtains opened, we were shown a video montage from fans around the world of “I Drove All Night”. We were wondering if they’d supply oxygen and peanuts for the altitude… ? We were sat up in 2nd Mezzanine, which I’m very fortunate to say was the first time I sat so far away from the stage. Our Celine hates to be late, she doesn’t like to keep her fans waiting. Celine was running late that night which was most likely due to the earlier press conference. I met with my friend and we grabbed a quick drink for our pre-show nerves/excitement. There was distinct buzz about the place, I could see film crews everywhere and there was only one topic of discussion – Celine Dion. I was on a mission to get to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace ASAP. I freshened up and by that time it was already 6pm. I landed at 3.15pm on the day of the show, fought my way through customs and immigration, picked up my car and floored it to the Flamingo Hotel & Casino (which is directly across the road from where Celine’s show is). I work two jobs, where short notice requests for leave are nigh on impossible, but on this occasion, it somehow became a reality. Out of the blue a good friend of mine contacted me and said that she had a spare ticket and asked me if I could come. I was excited to see many fellow fans and facebook fans embarking on their journeys to Las Vegas from around the globe. In a recent interview Celine said “He said, ‘You’re my favourite singer and I want to see you back on stage singing.’”Īt the beginning of this week I had no idea that I would be lucky enough to go and see the show for myself. Many of you will already know that Celine had taken a year off to look after her husband Rene Angelil, who still continues to fight throat cancer. On Thursday August 27th Celine Dion made her return to show business with her phenomenal new show at Caesars Palace. Celine Dion premieres the much-anticipated return of her headline residency show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Augin Las Vegas, Nevada.
