Thank you SO much for finding this info. (i didn't look that far).

You can see more than one show while you are there. Their website says they have eight Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas! We only get one at a time where I live and so far no Axel.

Jeremy Ten explained last week why he couldn't perform his "main track as the villainous 'Vi'" in AXEL's World Premiere in Montreal last month ("...I developed a minor but debilitating labral tear in my right hip..."):

Montreal Gazette's review:

Review: Cirque du Soleil's Axel is an arena rock show with aerial theatrics

But it's uneven, Brendan Kelly says, and the skating numbers don't make as big an impression as the acrobatic acts.

A new article about Manta and Johnson:

From Team USA to Cirque du Soleil. A new chapter for former competitive figure skaters

Cirque du Soleil first hit the ice in 2017 with “Crystal.” Now comes Cirque’s second ice show, “Axel,” a fantasy centered around a young musician.

Everett!

And now Abbotsford in June: https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/canada/abbotsford/axel/buy-tickets

I took my 12 year old nephew today and we had a great time. Karina and Joe did a great job, I won’t spoil anything but in one portion she worked her costume perfectly.

Unfortunately the crowd was small and they have a performance tomorrow when the whole area will be shut down for a KC Super Bowl party. It will be chaos down there, glad I had tickets for today.

Not surprisingly, there are cancellations of most, if not all, of the Cirque traveling shows:

It's not dated, so I don't know when this was posted to the site. I haven't yet heard from the arena in Everett; it manages its own ticket sales.
