Cirque du Soleil's 29th production opened in 2011. It was originally a tour visiting New York City, Madrid, Moscow, and N.Y.C. again in turn — with the return engagement receiving a Lighter and Softer retool that included most of the song lyrics getting changed from English to "Cirquish". The plans for the touring rotation to persist were changed when Viva Elvis, which had struggled at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, was forced to close. Cirque was asked to bring in another show to occupy the showroom; with no time to create a production from scratch (in part because Michael Jackson ONE was being prepared for the Mandalay Bay resort down the street), Zarkana was relocated to the Aria in late 2012. Another Lighter and Softer Retool arrived in early 2014, completely altering the Excuse Plot. This ran until April 2016, when the production was closed permanently.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first two versions were as follows: In a decrepit, abandoned theater, the magician Zark pines for his lost love Lia. His grief proves powerful enough to reveal that the place houses a Magical Land, and with a troupe of the theater's ghosts (white-clad circus performers known as Movers) serving as his companions, he ventures through it to find her again. Our hero faces curious, sometimes sinister "Mutants" and a dark night of the soul before finding a happy ending for himself, his true love, and his troupe — singing all the way.The final version retained the concept of a haunted theater, but had the two clowns (Hocus and Pocus) elevated to the protagonists journeying through the Magical Land to help restore it to its former glory, while Zark and the quasi-musical trappings were dropped.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Tropes specific to the original versions (2011-13):
