Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour


Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour is an upcoming theatrical production by Cirque du Soleil which uses the music and vision of Michael Jackson along with Cirque du Soleil's signature acrobatic performance style to create a realistic concert experience. The arena show—which is very similar to a rock concert—begins its tour October 2, 2011. After touring North America for about two years, it will continue on to Europe and the rest of the world. At the point in time it leaves North America, a resident show—which will be more theatrical in nature—will open in early 2013 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the resident show at the Mandalay Bay, Cirque du Soleil will also be opening up a Michael Jackson-inspired lounge as well as a memorabilia gift shop.

he Michael Jackson estate has partnered with Cirque du Soleil in order to create this concert experience. As part of the $250 million contract with Sony allowing music publishing until 2017, an album is expected to be produced.

On November 2, 2010, Cirque du Soleil and his estate announced the development of The Immortal World Tour through Michael Jackson's official website. In a press release, the company stated, "A riveting fusion of visuals, dance, music and fantasy that immerses audiences in Michael’s creative world and literally turns his signature moves upside down, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour unfolds Michael Jackson’s artistry before the eyes of the audience. Aimed at lifelong fans as well as those experiencing Michael’s creative genius for the first time, the show captures the essence, soul and inspiration of the King of Pop, celebrating a legacy that continues to transcend generations".

Jamie King, the director and writer who had previously spearheaded tours by Britney Spears, Rihanna and Madonna, stated that he wanted to include Jackson's "giving tree" as the focus of the tour.

As noted during an interview with Daniel Lamarre, within 24 hours of opening ticket sales for the show, Cirque du Soleil sold 200,000 tickets.

Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour will premiere in Montréal, as all touring Cirque du Soleil shows do, on October 2, 2011.
