Oh it is only in Rochester in New York. I thought it would come to the city. Rochester is so far away and then it moves out of state.

Anyone want to take a guess as to when the Immortal Tour will make its way back around to the Bay Area, Cali.? I saw it the last time it was herein San Jose and Oakland (over 2 years ago!) and now my daughter is 5 and I can't wait to take her.

I've been checking weekly to see if the dates for anywhere remotely close to here are up to get an idea of how much longer but it seems like this time around they are taking even longer to go from place to place..
 
Going by new pics, the show looks so different. I'm not sure I'd see this version. Many of the original cast have moved on. :( but I am sure it is still an entertaining show for those who never saw the original.
 
Memfan Yeah I agree, the show looks different. I am going to have a completely new experience when I see it again. I wonder if it will return to Vegas since One is already there?

Rating: 5 Stars of 5

April 5, 2014

Last night, the King of Pop’s legacy was immortalized by the Canadian entertainment company, ‘Cirque Du Soleil’ at the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, VA.

The arena was packed Friday night. It was like a Michael Jackson concert where you had all ages and all races. The show really spoke to Jackson’s vision of unity.

‘Cirque Du Soleil’ captured the “King of Pop’s” genius and thirst for perfecting the art of giving his fans an experience of a lifetime. Michael Jackson created the standard for music videos and live performances that’s still evident in the entertainment industry to this day.

Filled with contortionists, aerialists, dancers and amazing effects, this show is perfect for family entertainment. Video footage of Jackson and his vision display throughout the show. They even went as far as to use his actual voice with all the songs.

The show centers around a mime who leads the audience through his journey while performing Jackson’s signature moves and wearing his iconic outfits. The dance moves were spectacular and the sound was big.

The Michael Jackson Immortal Tour is a must see.

Cirque du Soleil’s Highest Grossing Shows



52.jpg




Guy Liberte is the man behind the fantasy, who turned circus acts into magic and acrobatics into fairy tales when he laid the foundations of Cirque du Soleil. Accordionist by trade, a specialist in walking on stilts, and fire eater, Liberte and a group of 20 Montreal performing artists founded Canada’s most successful export product back in 1984. Just as their slogans says, “we reinvent the circus,” Cirque du Soleil created a new niche, focusing on a new type of audience, where clowns became sophisticated and their numbers elaborated, all the while increasing the public’s comfort. Furthermore, they added theater elements, each show with its own storyline and musical score, dedicated exclusively to the most skillful of human talents.
Their shows thrilled over 40 million people from over 100 countries. What’s even more spectacular is that in just 20 years, Cirque du Soleil grossed much more than other famous companies cashed within a century. The value of the enterprise exceeds $2 billion. Their state-of-the art headquarters in Montreal alone is worth $60 million. Cirque du Soleil makes over $800 million a year in ticket sales, exceeding $1 billion in both 2012 and 2013. With over 4,000 employees, including over 1,000 professional circus artists, their shows’ dizzying heights, impeccable costumes, glamor, and distinctive refinement, a unique blend of acrobatics and theater, gave birth to the most expensive cirque extravaganza on Earth.

10. Zarkana: Grossing An Average $30 million Per Year


What started as a touring show in 2011 was converted into a permanent Las Vegas circus performance in 2012 and immediately began cashing in millions. Cirque du Soleil’s Zarkana is the company’s third most expensive show to attend, and one of their biggest productions to date. Characterized by a unique set that is constantly moving, allowing the performers to shine, it features amazing visual effects, as images are projected onto LED screens, creating remarkable illusions of fire and snakes blending in with the artists’ acrobatic talents. With the average ticket price of just over $200, Zarkana cashes in around $30 million in sales per year.

3. Michael Jackson ONE: Grossing Over $100 Million In 2013

With an average ticket price of $260 per adult, Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s Michael Jackson ONE is the company&#8217;s most expensive show to date. A stunning theatrical performance, it premiered in 2013 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where the Michael Jackson Theater was specially remodeled to accommodate the performance. More theatrical, the second Michael Jackson inspired Cirque du Soleil show is written and directed by Jamie King, and is a transformative adventure, a theatrical evocation of the pop singer&#8217;s creative genius performed on a soundtrack that includes 25 Michael Jackson tunes. Since its debut in May 2013, the show grossed over $100 million, making it one of the highest earning resident shows in America.


2. O: Grossing Over $100 Million Per Year

Perhaps Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s most spectacular resident show, O premiered in October 1998 at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The rather unusual name of the show, O is pronounced as &#8220;eau,&#8221; which is French for water. Counting over 6,000 performances to date, the aquatic themed show revolves around a 1.5 million gallon pool and features remarkable synchronized swimming, high dive, and fire dancing. A cast of 85 acrobats give life to the performance housed by the fabulous O Theater, designed like a 14th century European opera house that can seat 1,800 spectators. One of the most popular shows in Las Vegas, O grossed over $1 billion since its debut in 1998, and sells tickets for an average price of $226 per adult.

A unique combination of Michael Jackson&#8217;s music and Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s spectacular acrobatic performances,Michael Jackson: The Immortal Tour recreates the rock concert experience in one of the world&#8217;s most successful touring shows, which premiered in 2011 in Montreal. Jointly owned by Cirque du Soleil and The Michael Jackson Company, the show pays a tribute to the late singer, but unlike Michael Jackson ONE, which focuses on the Pop King&#8217;s music, it is less theatrical and more like a concert, with 49 international dancers giving life to a stunning choreography. The highest grossing Cirque du Soleil show, and one of the highest grossing touring shows of all time, it sold over 100 million tickets since its debut. With an average ticket price of $150 per adult, it generated over $500 million in sales, grossing $140 million in 2011 and $160 million in 2012, with a revenue of approximately $3 million per show.

I apologize for asking this might have been discussed but I'm not here very often. I know someone a while back said there will be for sure a dvd of this show when this ends is this still true any new info bout when it may be taped? I doubt anything would have been filmed already....unless I'm wrong and it has. I wonder how much longer the show will continue to tour for?
 
Don't they usually release DVD after certain time the show is finished?
I think if you contact on them via email and ask, they will reply to you.

Impatiently waiting for it to come back my way. Dates aren't being sold as far in advance as before dang it.

I'm interested to see the changes and just experience it all over again.

I really do hope they release on dvd/blue ray maybe cinema/imax release. Oh hello first ever post on a forum hope your good
 
Jarrowlad welcome!!!

That sold out show is wonderful news and a testament to Michael iconic status. This show has been touring for some time and they are still attracting crowds. I wonder if Xscape will make more people buy tickets to see what this Michael Jackson was all about? I hope this tour continues so I can see it again. Anyone knows when they will go back to Vegas?
 
Thank you #HoffmanEstates and #Chicago for an amazing sold out show tonight! #mjIMMORTAL #FanOfTheNight
