Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil ‘The Immortal World Tour’ kicked off its tour on Sunday in Montreal wowing the audience.
What as dubbed the biggest formally authorized by the Michael Jackson estate, the event was seen by 13,000 fans. Family members included brothers Tito, Jackie and Marlon Jackson, mom Katherine and Michael’s kids Prince, Paris and Blanket.
The circus tour is a 47-city North American tour. Starting in Canada – the home of Cirque du Soleil and heading to the U.S on October 15, it is schedule to end on July 20 in Chicago. Another version of the show will establish a permanent Vegas home in late 2013.
Jackson fans came from around the globe dressed in gloves, jackets and other apparel to honor The King.
Music ranged from Jackson’s solo career and Jackson 5 years. Using original studio tapes and mixed with a live band (directed by Jackson keyboardist Greg Phillinganes), the mood changed throughout the evening.
Directed by Jamie King, the show included exquisite costumes, danging, props and Jackson moves. Unlike other shows, this was set more like a concert.
Jackson’s Giving Tree was featured in the concert. It represented the tree from Neverland Ranch where he often retreated for musical inspiration. He told the world this through several interviews.
Performers dazzled the audience during many of the songs with appropriate props signifying eras and imaging from Jackson’s career. White gloves, dancing shoes, giving tree, thriller costumes, peace symbols and mummies danced their way through to the delight of the audience.
The underlying theme to many of the visuals was peace, love, respect for the planet and other messages Jackson tried to portray throughout his life and career.
Michael’s presence was felt throughout the night as images were constant. Childhood footage was shown only humanizing the genius.
It was a touching show that won family and fans over.
