London
(ANI):
Late
michael
jackson
will
be
getting
his
own
Cirque
Du
Soleil
show,
with
his
'The
Immortal
World
Tour" set
to
open
in
Canada
next
October.
The
show
will
combine
Jackson"s
music
and
choreography
with
the
signature
acrobatics
of
the
popular
circus
troupe.
Jamie
King,
a
choreographer
and
stage
director
will
be
directing
the
production,
which
will
tour
27
U.S.
and
Canadian
cities,
and
he
said
the
whole
show
will
only
be
about
Jackson.
“Everything
Michael.
Michael"s
love
of
fairy
tale,
his
love
of
magic
and
theatricality,
his
love
of
music,
his
love
of
animals,
his
love
of
showmanship," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
him
as
saying.
He
also
said
that
Jackson"s
former
Neverland
home
will
provide
the
'environment"
for
the
show.
But
the
Immortal
World
Tour
will
be
a
little
different
to
other
Cirque
Du
Soleil
productions
based
on
pop
music
acts
such
as
Love
and
Viva
Elvis.
“The
idea
was
to
bring
Michael
to
the
fans
and
create
the
feeling
of
his
concerts
in
an
arena
setting,"
John
Branca,
co-executor
of
the
Jackson
estate,
said.
“Cirque
has
not
done
a
show
with
Elvis
or
the
Beatles
or
any
other
historic
rock
'n"
roll
icon
that
has
gone
into
arenas
and
toured
North
America
or
the
world,
so
it
was
exciting
to
be
able
to
do
something
that
had
not
been
done
before,"
he
added.
