Get ready to experience the chance of a lifetime.  To help celebrate the release of \u2018Michael Jackson\u2019s This Is It\u2019 on DVD and Blu-ray\u2122, HMV and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment launch a very special midnight signing event with guests, director\u00a0Kenny Ortega and choreographer Travis Payne at HMV\u2019s flagship Oxford Street store in London\u2019s West End on Sunday 21st February 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The event kicks off at 10 pm with dancers performing the routines from the \u2018This Is It\u2019 show.  At 11pm-midnight Kenny Ortega, Travis Payne and the \u2018This Is It\u2019 dancers will meet fans and sign copies of the DVD and Blu-ray which are officially released on Monday 22nd February.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This Is It\u2019 was a planned series of fifty concerts by Michael Jackson to be held at The O2 arena in London. They were scheduled to begin in July 2009 and continue through March 2010. Jackson officially announced the concerts at a press conference held inside The O2 arena. AEG Live, the concert promoters, released a promotional video that took up an entire commercial break, setting a record for ITV. The shows were to be Jackson&#8217;s first major series of concerts since the \u2018HIStory World Tour\u2019 finished in 1997, and had been cited as one of the year&#8217;s most important musical events. Over one million people would have attended in total.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Michael Jackson&#8217;s This Is It\u2019 directed by Kenny Ortega, documents Michael Jackson&#8217;s rehearsals and preparation for the series of concerts.  The film is now the highest grossing concert movie and documentary in the history of cinema.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Sony Pictures Entertainment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet &#8216;Michael Jackson&#8217;s This Is It&#8217; dancers, choreographers and Kenny Ortega on 21st February 2010 at HMV 150 Oxford Street WHAT: Midnight launch and signing session WHERE: HMV London, 150 Oxford Street W1 WHEN: Sunday 21st February 2010 from 10pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
