Celine Dion

Celine Dion returns to Caesars Palace on June 9, rested and ready to dazzle with the powerhouse vocals that have made her one of history’s top-selling recording artists and stage performers.

The French-Canadian chanteuse was sidelined earlier this year by a vocal cord problem but has been assured of a 100% recovery.

The show — known simply as “Celine” — has earned raves from critics. Newsweek anointed her “the biggest act since Elvis,” while the Journal de Montreal gushed, “It’s a resounding success that definitely trumps the sold-out first run.”

Dion’s summer performances, part of a three-year residency, conclude Aug. 19.

The three guys in greasepaint are up to their usual shenanigans, splattering paint, eating Twinkies and making primal music with PVC pipe. It’s vaudevillian fun in the age of technology. “My favorite part of the show is when we go out in the audience and interact with different people, from the 5-year-old who is really excited to the middle-aged guy who hasn’t rocked out in a while to the older folks who are a little unsure of the Blue Man but end up pleasantly surprised at what a great time they are having,” said longtime Blue Man Scott Kinworthy.

Nightly, 7 and 10 p.m.; additional performance at 4 p.m. Sept. 2 Dark Aug. 30 and Sept. 3
