I have not only found a show I want to attend but I
have a show I NEED to attend. I cannot believe that two of my all time
favourite performances and performers are coming together in one show. This
show is of course Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour. I know it may not be
the man himself, but this would be the closest I would have ever have gotten to
him. I attended the Cirque du Soleil OVO show last year and I could not take my
eyes off the stage, the performers are in a world of their own and I had to
peel myself off the chair to leave even when the show was over.
The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil announced
TODAY that Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour will arrive in
Australia in September this year. This once-in-a-lifetime electrifying
production uses Cirque du Soleil creativity to give fans worldwide a
unique view into the spirit, passion and heart of the artistic genius who
forever transformed global pop culture. Written and directed by Jamie King, the
show includes 49 international dancers, musicians and acrobats. Since its world
premiere in Montreal in October 2011, the enormously successful arena
production has thrilled audiences across North America, Europe and Asia.
The four week Australian tour will include strictly
limited engagements at Perth Arena (18 to 22 September), Sydney’s Allphones
Arena (26 to 29 September), Brisbane Entertainment Centre (2 to 6
October) and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (10 to 13 October).
