LAS VEGAS, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Pop star Celine Dion is preparing to start rehearsals for her new stage show in Las Vegas, its producers announced Thursday.

Dion's three-year engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is helmed by longtime Grammy Awards show director Ken Ehrlich and produced by AEG Live.

The new show is to open March 15. It will feature 31 musicians, consisting of a full orchestra and band, and will include her biggest hits.

Dion spent five consecutive years performing sold-out shows at The Colosseum, then went on a yearlong worldwide tour in 2008-2009, the venue said. She recently gave birth to twin boys.
