Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. The world premiere of Immortal was in Montreal, the location of Cirque headquarters, on Oct. 2, 2011.
Nourished by millions of visitors annually to the Strip, the giving tree that is Cirque has given and given. The seeds were planted by Steve Wynn in the Mirage parking lot in November 1993 with the tent show “Nouvelle Experience.”
At a cost of about $55 million, “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour” is neither Cirque du Soleil’s most expensive nor most elaborate production. But it’s introducing the circus troupe’s unique craft to new audiences worldwide and expanding how the French-Canadian company does business.
A Michael Jackson memorabilia exhibit opens today at Mandalay Bay in conjunction with Cirque du Soleil’s extended tour stop of “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.”
