''Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour'' (yes, the "the" is supposed to be capitalized, but not doing so reads better as a link) is [[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s 30th production, an arena tour launched in 2011 and the first of two different Cirque shows focused on the music of [[Michael Jackson]]; the second, to open in 2013, will be a permanent show at the Mandalay Bay casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
 
The premise has an everyman mime journey into the heart of the Neverland Ranch, Jackson's most famous residence in life, and through a series of acrobatic and dance vignettes based around common themes and settings in his songs. These include dancing, gangsters and dangerous women, and supernatural creatures. While Jackson's original recordings are the basis of the soundtrack, there are live musicians and singers shoring them up.
Line 6:
Over 2012, this show will wrap up its North American tour and move on to Europe.
