Cirque du Soleil will debut Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour in fall 2011. (Cirque du Soleil)The Cirque du Soleil's upcoming Michael Jackson show, a $57-million US extravaganza to debut in Montreal in fall 2011, will be "a celebration of dance and spectacle," vows the production's creative team.
Written and directed by high-profile concert director and former Jackson dancer Jamie King, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour will combine the late King of Pop's iconic musical oeuvre and choreography with the Cirque's signature artistry, dance and aerial displays.
"I wouldn’t compare this show in any way to other Cirque productions that have come about thus far," King told Canadian journalists by phone from Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
"This is an all-new production, completely reinventing … the idea of Cirque, merging it with a rock 'n' roll/pop spectacle and touring it."
It would be nice to see this concert.
