LAS VEGAS — A 29-year-old Cirque du Soleil acrobat was hospitalized after she was injured in a fall during a performance of the “Zumanity” show at the New York-New York hotel-casino, a show official said.
The woman, whose name was not released, was in stable condition at University Medical Center in Las Vegas after losing her grip while performing at least 15 feet above the stage on a long, white, ribbonlike drape, said Anita Nelving, spokeswoman for Cirque du Soleil.
As she fell, the woman hit a second cast member who fell a short distance to the stage during the Tuesday night mishap. He was treated for minor injuries.
