Michael Jackson Cirque Du Soleil Tour! WNHT EXCLUSIVE

WNHT blog has obtained the exclusive sketches from the show!  

If you never got the chance to see Michael Jackson in concert, this could be the next best thing. On Wednesday (November 3), Jackson's estate and Cirque du Soleil announced the dates for the Immortal World Tour.

Written and directed by Jamie King, the multimillion-dollar shows are scheduled to begin October 2011 and travel across North America to nearly 30 cities. According to a press release, the event is set to combine Jackson's timeless tunes and choreography with Cirque's creative background to showcase "Michael's global messages of love, peace and unity." The production hopes to bring fans into a fantasy world based on the singer's inspirational Giving Tree, which remains the central muse for his love of everything including music, dance, fairy tale and magic, and nature. A presale for Cirque Club Members and MichaelJackson.com subscribers begins Wednesday, while the general-public sale starts Saturday.

 "The entire catalog is open to us ... we don't know [which songs we'll use] yet, but obviously all of the people will be looking for the big hits of Michael Jackson; we don't want to avoid that," Lamarre said. "We want to make sure that we will meet musical expectations from the fans."
