By , About.com Guide

Cirque du Soleil's newest production, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, honors a musical and cultural legend, Michael Jackson. Be prepared to dive into the world of everything Michael, as this show claims to take you into a magical fantasy that centers around Michael Jackson's unmatched creativity. Love Michael's moves? See them "turned upside down" as only Cirque can do!

The show calls upon the pop music talents of Jamie King, who's had a hand in some majorly successful dance music videos and has directed world tours for pop legends like Britney Spears and Madonna.

Video previews for the show reveal a production that stays true to the classic Michael Jackson sound while transforming the music into a total sensory experience. The sets and costumes will keep the audience engaged as they inevitably tap their feet along to the music. Don't be surprised to hear folks around you singing along to the memorable songs that everyone knows and loves. Of course, you'll see lots of acrobatics, flips, flying and impressive feats performed by Cirque du Soleil's always amazing cast. When you add flames to the moon walk, what can go wrong?!
