Cirque du Soleil and Michael Jackson Come Together


Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil has announced that they will put on a live touring show featuring the songs of Michael Jackson, and a second show in partnership with MGM Mirage which will open in Las Vegas. The tour will start in the fall of 2011 and will travel throughout North America, and the Vegas show will start in 2012.

Michael Jackson was a huge fan of Cirque du Soleil and would have surely been very enthusiastic about the show. "He said he was an acrobat himself," Cirque du Soleil’s CEO Daniel Lamarre said in an interview. "As an artist he had this amazing way of bringing some visual element to his performances." Michael saw several shows himself, including “Love”, the show based on the music of the Beatles. He wanted to do his own version, said Jack Wishna, the president of consulting firm CPAmerica Inc. and a prospective business partner.

"The expectations of Michael Jackson fans around the world are going to be huge," he said. "And we have to deliver." Says Lamarre.

Unreleased recordings may become part of the shows' musical numbers, and his biggest hits will likely be remixed and mashed up so fans will hear his music in a new way. Katherine Jackson released the following statement regarding the shows: "Our family is thrilled that Cirque du Soleil will pay tribute to my son in such an important way."

Janet Jackson would like to play Eartha Kitt in a movie which would portray the singer’s life. Janet claims that Earth Kitt herself picked her for the role when she was still alive.

Janet on Earth Kitt: “I adore her [Kitt] and I had the opportunity to spend time with her. She had expressed wanting me to portray her and was excited about the idea of me portraying her in a film. If that's really going to happen, I'm not quite sure, but I hope it does.” She added: “What an icon. She had gone through so much – not just her adulthood, but her childhood.”

Ertha Kitt, the self-professed “sex kitten” was famous for playing Catwoman in the Batman TV series in the 1960s.
