I just had an OMG moment at hearing this scrumptious news!
The best show on earth, Cirque du Soleil, is joining forces with the greatest catalog of music, that of Michael Jackson, to create Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour, set to launch October of 2011.
The new Cirque du Soleil Immortal Tour show will focus on Michael Jackson’s three solo concert tours: the 1987 Bad World Tour, the Dangerous World Tour and the HIStory World Tour.
Beginning next October, the world tour will kick off in Canada, working its way to the U.S. and finding a permanent home at Vegas’ MGM Mirage hotel in 2012.
All I have to say to that is: Where and how soon can I buy my ticket?
In case you were wondering, the partnership between the Michael Jackson Estate and Cirque du Soleil ensures that each party will receive 50 percent of the profits. Michael Jackson already tops Forbes’ list of top-earning dead celebrities by having made $275 million after his death. I can’t imagine what this partnership will mean for his estate for years to come.
