Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour

This Michael Jackson-themed dance and acrobatics show is staged on the scale of an Olympics opening ceremony. The general topics are Jackson’s childhood and world peace. Giant video screens provide visual effects in the style of the Fremont Street Experience. Dozens of world-class performers execute challenging dance, gymnastic and acrobatic numbers, while a ten-member backing band plays and sings. Costumes and props are highly imaginative, and lighting and stage effects are advanced. Clips of Jackson’s videos—shown only a few times—predictably upstage everything. Variety acts include a one-legged dancer, a scantily-attired cellist, and a pole dancer.
