Title: Cirque Goes Big With Jackson Tour
Post by: voiceforthesilent on October 01, 2011, 09:20:39 PM
It looks like Michael is breaking records again. Surprised? Not when the name has Michael Jackson attached to it :) I am hopeful that this will have a great response that results in many more years of success for Michael.

EDIT: Question...Prince Michael is in Montreal for the opening show? He tweeted that he's there...

With Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour set to premiere Sunday at the Bell Centre, before touring across Canada this fall, the Cirque du Soleil is coming out of its comfort zone.

This is its first show conceived specifically for arenas.

“Le Cirque likes to take risks, and that is even more true this time around,” Cirque du Soleil president and CEO Daniel Lamarre said in an interview earlier this week.

“Immortal is really taking us elsewhere. It’s an interpretation of a rock show by Cirque du Soleil. In seeing the show this week, we decided, Guy (Laliberte) and I, that this would start a new type of show.”

Arena shows comprise a big market already occupied by global music stars such as Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and others, whose tour profits are enormous.

“There is big potential there,” Lamarre said. “For us, our big challenge is to offer this type of show, but without having the star (Michael Jackson) there. We had to deal with those obstacles.

“We don’t take anything for granted here. We are going into it with a lot of humility. This is a very risk undertaking for us, because we are hitting a new market and a way of touring that is very different to what we have done until now. But if we don’t want to become stagnant, it’s important to do it this way.”

Dedicated to the creative universe of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour will tour Canada and then the U.S. for a year before moving on to Europe and Asia.

“We hope to tour for four years,” Lamarre said. “People may not be aware of it, but there will be many foreign promoters from Asia, Japan, South America and Europe that will be in Montreal on Sunday night to see what the Circus is doing in the context of a rock show. The reaction in Montreal will surely have an influence on the show’s longevity.”

In North America, the promoters were fairly easy to convince, Lamarre admitted.

“We had a card up our sleeve in Michael Jackson,” he said. “Michael Jackson is still extremely contemporary. And all of this is done following (the planned) concert (This Is It) that would have had huge success in London. He sold thousands of seats in 24 hours for his shows in London. And we experienced something similar when we sold tickets in North America. We sold more than $40 million in tickets in 24 hours. This is unheard of.”

Though familiar with moving from city to city with the equipment for its show under the tent, the Cirque du Soleil had to adapt to new logistics for the arena tour. A promoter at the Bell Centre told Lamarre that the previous biggest production ever staged at that arena required 26 trucks to move in all the equipment. “We have 38,” Lamarre said.

I couldn't help but tear up at the video - it's so exciting to see this and I am soooo soooo happy for Michael.

I just saw online that a new album "Immortal" will be coming out November 21st. I wonder what significance that date has...will need to research.

New ‘Immortal’ Album Monday, October 3rd 2011
 (http://www.mjworld.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cirque-du-soleil-brand-125x125.png)    We have received the following press release from Epic Records regarding the release of ‘Immortal’ the new Michael album.
EPIC RECORDS SET TO RELEASE IMMORTAL THE NEW
 ALBUM FROM MICHAEL JACKSON ON NOVEMBER 21
A MUSIC TAPESTRY FOR THE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL SHOW
 MICHAEL JACKSON THE IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR
 KICKING OFF LAST NIGHT
EXPERIENCE IMMORTAL AT MICHAELJACKSON.COM
New York, NY – On November 21, Epic Records in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson, will release IMMORTAL – the highly anticipated musical tapestry for Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour. IMMORTAL will be released as both a deluxe double disc version and single disc.
 Led by esteemed musical designer, Kevin Antunes (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Madonna) IMMORTAL takes a fresh, creative approach in redesigning and reimagining more than 40 of Michael Jackson’s greatest original recordings into a compilation that allows listeners to experience his music in an entirely new way. After spending a year in the studio working with Michael’s original multi-track master recordings, Kevin created IMMORTAL which offers listeners a new soundscape to Michael’s artistry while preserving the power and familiarity of his unparalleled voice and his legendary tracks.
Kevin Antunes comments, “Michael’s legacy as the greatest entertainer of our lifetime is inspiring beyond words. It was clear from the start that Michael’s voice and overall musical essence was the sole/soul source of creative energy driving the project. From the studio to the stage, there’s an undeniable integrity and resolute truth in Michael’s vocal performances that are highlighted in the Immortal arrangements. It was built with love and respect for Michael’s music, his family, and his millions of fans around the world.”
IMMORTAL is sure to touch the hearts of passionate Michael fans as the album unfolds his musical legacy with redesigned versions of his hits, electrifying mashups and newly discovered outtakes fans have never heard before including an alternate take on the Jackson 5’s “ABC” and a choir that Michael recorded for “They Don’t Really Care About Us.”
To pre-order IMMORTAL, and view footage from Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour please visit www.MichaelJackson.com
The North American leg of Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour kicked off last night in Montreal, and will include an extended stay in Las Vegas in December.

Nice to hear that the kids have come to Canada for the premiere...hope they get to see some of the beautiful sights while here  ::P
 
I'll be trying my hardest to get tickets to the Toronto show but will have to go through 'scalpers' to get them.  I tried through Ticketmaster when they went on sale but the only tickets left were up in the rafters (within seconds of them going on sale  :evil: ). 
 
I wanna be FRONT and center  :lol:
 
With L.O.V.E. always.
