The Legend Lives On - Official Cirque du Soleil 'Immortal World Tour' Discussion

Here is another article review and this one also mentioned the missing of the Giving Tree -- :angry:


Chances are the verdict in the Michael Jackson trial in Los Angeles will arrive while the Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour show is making its move from Vancouver (where it winds up tonight, Nov. 6, 2011 ), to Seattle, Washington, where it plays Wednesday and Thursday (Nov. 9 and 10, 2011)
Meanwhile, some of the Vancouver critics have already turned in their verdicts on the show, with the Vancouver Sun calling it a “whimsical, eye-popping extravaganza” andThe Straight, always tougher to please, describing it as “enormous and impressive and utterly, devastatingly hollow”.


The continuing absence of the top part of the Giving Tree which forms the centrepiece of the set, is also noted. The tree now ”resembles a scale model of a nuclear reactor’s cooling tower”, writes reviewer Alexander Varty.


Back to the trial. Dr. Conrad Murray is not likely to walk on this one, I’m thinking. For reasons delineated in this Enterprise News story. And I’ll be surprised if the deliberations last past Tuesday. Apparently, once the criminal trial is over, a civil suit by the Jackson family against AEG Live LLC ”and other defendants” will become the next chapter in this sad saga.

Las Vegas dancer joins Jackson show

Posted: Nov. 7, 2011 | 2:00 a.m.
A bus ride to Los Angeles last year turned out to be the starting point of a world tour for Las Vegas dancer Cameron McKinlay.
He was among a dozen dancers in "Love" who chartered a bus to L.A. to audition for Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson "Immortal" World Tour.
They departed from Las Vegas about midnight on a Friday night, arrived in time for breakfast and a three-hour audition and returned in time for Saturday's two shows at The Mirage.
Soon came word that he had hit the show business lottery: a three-year deal as one of 24 dancers -- the only one from Las Vegas -- in Cirque's new Jackson spectacular.
A year ago he and his fiancée, Tina Cannon, were the featured dancers of "Yesterday" in "Love."
Now he's on a 50-city North American tour that circles back to Las Vegas for a Dec. 3-27 engagement at Mandalay Bay, future home of Cirque's 2013 Jackson show.
Las Vegas is home for the 25-year-old Canadian who grew up in an artistic family near Edmonton, Alberta.
Of the five kids in his family, one brother is a principal dancer in the Alberta Ballet, a sister is a ballet teacher and another is an opera singer.
McKinlay will be among a group from the touring show scheduled to perform "Immortal" numbers Tuesday on "Dancing With the Stars."

Thank you Lucilla :)
I'm curious to see what it will be like.
One thing I can say....the timing is good in light of yesterdays verdict.

Arklove....great t-shirt. I like it.
 
I just saw DWTS and I loved it! That was great to see. I hope a lot of people got to see it.

I hope so too. DWTS is a popular show so I think it may have had a lot viewers.
It was great. Too short tho. I really wanted to see more.
Maybe I'll reconsider my thoughts and try to see the tour.

Thanks Kikuchiyo for posting the clip. :)
 
WOW! They did great on DWTS and what made the night even better was that DISgrace was finally eliminated. What awesome timing. :hysterical:

Sorry, I had to throw that in there. Tee heet! :evil:

Anywho, can't wait for next yr when I finally get to see the show in person! :D
 
I watched the Cirque performance on DWTS last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's awesome! :punk:

By the end of it, I wanted more. I wanted them to keep performing. I felt sorry for the dude who had to sing/rap afterward. Man... even a tribute to the King of Pop is a tough act to follow. I know it's not really a Michael Jackson performance, but, it's still very entertaining. And, the performance of that rapping dude (sorry, I don't know him and don't remember his name) was indeed lackluster, so ordinary...

My mom loved the aerial acrobats as well. She's gonna see the Immortal show with me next year. I'm sure she's going to enjoy it. Can't wait! :woohoo:
 
thanks for the video.

great. - And great promotion.

If you can see the show I recommend it. It was great. I wasn't sure myself but then I went and I am glad I did.
 
omg that made me cry!!! i love the crowd! Wow so super powerful! and i am DEF buying this album i LOVE the mix!!!
 
Not to be a downer, but why do they still have the Smooth Criminal armbands on the wrong arm?

This is just a guess but I want to believe it is out of respect. Michael wore it on his right and he is one of a kind and they won't even try to be like him.

Huh... That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks :)
 
Why have they removed the giving tree? It is meant to be the centrepiece of the show.
 
Nice, nice :clap:

But, was I hearing people chanting Michael, Michael almost at the end of the performance?
 
I send my car for service this morning and the gentleman that attended to me asked me what book I was reading when he saw me carrying a book. I told him I was reading "Man in the Music:Michael Jackson". I explained that its a book exploring Michael creative work of music and he told me that he is also a big fan of Michael music and went for Cirque du Soleil:The Immortal Tour in Vancouver. He took his family and they were impressed and enjoyed the show tremendously. The show was sold out and he said the crowd was amazing. I then suggested that he get the book by Joe Vogel and he thanked me.
 
DWTS performance was great, so good to see them all again dancing (outside of fan videos from the shows)

Just looking at the way they stepped, the energy in their moves, you can see they were giving it all!

Touching, beautiful.. gosh I love those guys!!
 
I just watched the DWTS cirque du soleil preformance on youtube and it was fantastic! :wild:
 
You are welcome, love is magical. I love reading your post. You always express yourself so eloquently. I seldom post but I read a lot of the thread and followed the trial everyday. My husband thought I was crazy and my kids know that I am nuts about Michael. The book "Man in the Music" is a birthday gift from my 8 years old birthday ;)

And yes, Vancouver also participated in one of the biggest group of Thrill the World on Halloween and it was amazing!
