I would love to see this! I never actually saw the Michael Jackson movie, but I do love his music. I think it is funny that Cirque can really make their shows about anything, including Michael Jackson. It must keep things interesting for the production team. I wonder what the show is going to look like...The designers can go with a concert look or a more abstract theme that goes along with the songs, or even with Jackson's life. It could be cool.
Ive been hearing about the creating of this show for a while now and its not surprising seeing as how well the immortal world tour has been doing. It is interesting though the comparisons that have been made between micheal jackson themed shows of whether or not to do a show simply inspired by micheal jackso or a show done to micheal jacksons music and they found that the shows done to his music is what people really want to come and see. It will be interesting to see how different this show will be from the tour
So this is pretty exciting to see. I am not old enough to really understand the impact on a personal level that Michael Jackson had on the world. Unfortunately the memory of Michael I have is not of the amazing singer and performer that he was. I have hope that Cirque will do great things with the music and have an amazing impact for the legacy of Michael Jackson.
