This past weekend I attended Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil. The “King of Pop” was honored through his personal music, eccentric dancers, colorful multi-media screens and over-the-top acrobatic performers. Although the show is presented by Cirque du Soleil it is not the traditional company performance. The show is a tribute to Jackson’s life with routines that reflect Cirque du Soleil.
From the candid mime that keeps the show anchored to the wildly creative costumes and ultra-talented performers to Jackson’s amazingly famous tunes everyone in the audience truly has the opportunity to connect one last time to Jackson’s legacy. Mirroring Jackson’s “heart” for the world, children and less fortunate much of the show was dedicated to demonstrating his passion for such by literally incorporating the common thread of a “heart” throughout the scenes.
Captivating the audience and basically stealing the show was a one-legged dancer! You could feel the energy of the audience rise every time he took to the stage and twirled on his crutches, break danced and balanced on his one leg. He definitely embodies the can-do attitude while embracing his God given talent to preform – just like Jackson!
The show is currently on a world tour and if you can get tickets to Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil I would highly recommend doing so. You will get to rock out to his melodies while being touched one final time by the King of Pop’s last honored tribute.
I love the Jackson Five tunes … What is your favorite Michael Jackson song? Tell me on Twitter @CortneyBailey
