Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson “The Immortal Tour”


After the “King of Pop’s” untimely death in 2009, the legacy of Michael Jackson still lives on. His musical talent is still popular and recognized throughout the world. There are tribute concerts and merchandise being released in honour of the late star, but the newest tribute to this great talent was created by Cirque du Soleil.  The newest production from the world renowned show is poignantly entitled “The Immortal Tour”. The show is a nostalgic mix of the songs that made Michael Jackson famous, starting from his days with the Jackson 5 all the way to the present, accompanied by all the theatrics and acrobatic elements that fans of the show have come to expect. Cirque du Soleil puts a creative spin on the songs with added dancing and special effects. I was lucky enough to see the show when it came to Hamilton in October. The show is the perfect mix of two iconic brands, Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil. I was left in complete awe and wanted to get tickets to the show that weekend in Toronto. There was so much going on and so much to focus on that I could sit through it several times and still not catch every little detail.  It was a show the whole family would enjoy and everyone should get the opportunity to experience it at least once. The show was well put together and a very fitting tribute to the late “King of Pop.” This show will help his legacy live on and allow for many more generations to enjoy his music.
