Cirque Du Soleil -- Michael Jackson Immortalized
9 minutes ago by TMZ Staff  

Cirque Du Soleil is unveiling the images that will drive what could be the biggest show under the big top ever -- driven by Michael Jackson's music ... and TMZ got hold of the image that will drive the production.



The world tour is a partnership between the MJ Estate and Cirque -- each sharing 50% of the profits.  It will kick off in the Fall of next year in Canada, and work its way south to the US of A.

The show will end up with a permanent home at an MGM Mirage hotel in Las Vegas -- probably in late 2012.

This project -- unlike some others -- got the thumbs up from Katherine Jackson.

Funny though that I checked the Cirque Du Soleil website right after posting the TMZ article here, and there was nothing there yet about the MJ Immortal tour.  Just now I checked again and voila...there it was...finally...

hmm... the picture of MJ on the poster looks like the one from Super Bowl performance, it is not most classic pose of MJ :?
and the stadium behind... looks like "here i am, follow me and let's go" :? ... or not.... :?

That's a strange picture of Michael's face. I know the pose fits Michael but the face is slightly different.

Also - the word "IMMoRTAL" - eternal, "undying", everlasting, never-ending, endless.

It seems to me that they'd choose a word associated with Michael. Like Elvis - his is Viva Elvis which makes sense. Immortal conjurs in my mind the image of magic.

I just went to the Cirque De Soleil website. The picture on the front page is interesting - not sure how long it's been there but it reminds me of blue eyed Michael.

Apart from butterflies, someone sees something else in that picture :?:

Well yes, that's pretty obvious...

Topping off a fabulous month, Michael performed at the 1993 Superbowl Halftime show on the 31st of January. The show included “Jam”, “Billie Jean”, “Black or White” and “Heal the World”, which included a 98,000 audience card stunt, and a 750 member choir. Approximately 120 million people tuned into the event; one of the largest viewing audiences in TV history.

How you're gonna top that Mike?   Never mind, I already know the answer!  :lol:
