This once-in-a-lifetime electrifying production combines Cirque du Soleil creativity with Michael Jackson music and choreography to give fans a unique view into the spirit, passion and heart of the artistic genius who forever transformed global pop culture. Director Jamie King, who toured with Michael Jackson, said, "This is full circle for me... I began as a fan, then a performer, then I got to collaborate on stage with Michael, and now to be able to carry on his spirit, his essence...it is a dream, it is an amazing opportunity."
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. See preview HERE . The show includes more than 60 international dancers, musicians and acrobats. It takes 52 trucks just to carry over 1,000 pieces of costumes, shoes, hats and head pieces that are used in the show. More than 90 costume pieces utilize LED technology, some of which are equipped with up to 275 blinking lights that change color.
The underpinnings of THE IMMORTAL World Tour are Michael Jackson's powerful, inspirational music and lyrics brought to life with extraordinary power and breathless intensity. The show features more than 30 of Michael's songs, in addition to numerous bits and pieces of his songs that are used in transitions. Michael's voice is what drives the show and everything else is created around it. Kevin Antunes, the musical designer for the show said that Michael was a pioneer, a genius, and a master at fusing different genres. "You get orchestral, rock, R&B, funk, soul, country....you just get everything from Michael Jackson." Antunes has created a very intimate experience. You can actually hear Michael snap his fingers or stomp his feet in some audio segments.
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.
