Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil

For years, I'd had "seeing a Michael Jackson show" on my Shows To See If I Were Able To Skip Rent For Two to Three Month list. That, and Madonna, whose live productions are equally legendary. With Michael's passing, well-intentioned investors and former collaborators have been working overtime, thinking of new ways to profit from MJ's name "keep Michael alive in the hearts of fans." I can admit to being less than enthused about any of his new music. I've only heard "Hollywood Tonight," because I don't really have an interest in his musical scraps. It seems apparent that the music was left unreleased for a reason. Janet mentioned once that he wouldn't want any of it released this way. Since he appears to be worth more dead than alive, and has parents who mask exploitative business ventures as being meant to "support his children," the man's name is sure to live on for decades to come via music, videos, and a host of branding opportunities.

Now that the dust has settled and the checks have cleared from his This Is It, which detailed the preparation for his long-awaited comeback tour, the next MJ-themed project is Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil. If nothing else, it should win an award for longest title. Having first heard about the project from dancer Gianinni Semedo Moreira, it's exciting to see the show gearing up for a world tour.


Looks stunning, to say the least.

Needless to say, because I'm down here in Panamá, I likely won't get to see the show live. There are two preview shows, and the tour officially begins next spring. Tickets range from $64 to $191. Much cheaper than an actual MJ affair.

Will you be seeing the show?

and yes, that is a one-legged b-boy at the 0:40 mark.

all feedback is welcomed. yes, even those of you in the Bronx.|be notified of new posts: Subscribe
