A two-year, international, celebratory tour. A final performance on New Year’s Eve in New York City. All financed by an $8 million initiative. It’s a retirement plan that has celebrity written all over it. But this is not an MTV special. Jay-Z isn’t retiring (again), and Madonnna’s not hanging up her spandex shorts. No, this is “The Legacy Plan,” the grand scheme for the end of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, which after 58 years in existence, will disband at the end of 2011.
