The entire city of Las Vegas is still reeling from the mass shooting that left at least 58 dead and 515 injured.
As news of the shooting spread through the Strip, the Cirque Du Soleil theatres were put into lock-down until authorities confirmed it was safe for audience members and performers to leave.
So far Monday night’s shows, including all the Cirque shows and Blue Man Group, have officially been canceled; we’ll have to wait and see about the rest of the week.

As far away as Los Angeles and New York, events are being affected.
Monday night’s TCL Chinese Theatre premiere of Marshall, the Thurgood Marshall biopic starring Chadwick Boseman, has been canceled. A spokesperson for Open Road Films said in a statement:
“On this day of national mourning, we have decided to cancel tonight’s scheduled red carpet premiere of Marshall. Instead, tonight’s event will be a private screening of the film for the cast, filmmakers, and invited guests. Our thoughts are with the the victims of the tragedy in Las Vegas, their families, and all of those affected.”
In New York, Estee Lauder had a breast cancer awareness event scheduled, with Elizabeth Hurley set to appear.
In a statement, the cosmetics company said they were canceling out of respect for the families of the victims.
