Jamie King the man behind The Immortal World Tour is now working on Cirque du Soleil\u2019s second Michael Jackson show, which becomes a resident attraction at Mandalay Bay one year from now.<\/p>\n
\u201dThat will be a different feel completely, altogether. I am already excited, but not yet confident. I\u2019ll get there, though. Right now, I\u2019m just excited. I am excited about being here at Mandalay Bay and doing the theatrical version of Michael\u2019s show. I\u2019ve already walked the theater. It\u2019s under construction, but for now it looks a mess. It has much potential, and I am excited for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no official name yet for the show, so it\u2019s just the Michael Jackson 2013 show. We are in pre-production now, and at the end of September, early October, I\u2019ll be relocating to Montreal for about three to four months. I\u2019ll stay there through the holidays, and then we\u2019ll all come to Vegas. I will live here for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be completely different from the \u2018Immortal\u2019 show — completely. This will be a theater show, not an arena production. The entire 90-plus minutes will be different from what you experienced with the touring show. I\u2019ve done a whole new concept and theme. It involves many more characters and acrobatics. It will be much more fantastical and theatrical, with less arena rock \u2019n\u2019 roll. However, you will get as much of Michael Jackson\u2019s music as we had in the touring show. I\u2019ve kept some magical moments from the touring show I felt could translate here — some bits and bobs, as you\u2019d say!<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to create something new, though, because the touring show will go on for a long, long time overseas while we have the permanent show here. I\u2019ve sort of shot my self in the foot by having two shows for Michael Jackson, and both must be different — and they will be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
