Re: Ballpark pay ranges ?
If I remember correctly, one of the arrangers and/or composers for some cirque stuff is a member over at the northernsounds.com forums.
You should ask your question over there...make sure to put Cirque du Soleil in the thread title and maybe they will see it there and could give you an accurate answer.
In general, they are probably comparable/similar to whatever the union rate is, even though Nevada (where most of the Cirque shows are) is a right to work state.
And you can look that up at any of the musician's union websites.

What he said. You may be entitled to doubling as well. You will want to join the union BEFORE applying to a company like that.
