A unique combination of Michael Jackson’s music and Cirque du Soleil’s spectacular acrobatic performances, Michael Jackson: The Immortal Tour recreates the rock concert experience in one of the world’s most successful touring shows, which premiered in 2011 in Montreal. Jointly owned by Cirque du Soleil and The Michael Jackson Company, the show pays a tribute to the late singer, but unlike Michael Jackson ONE, which focuses on the Pop King’s music, it is less theatrical and more like a concert, with 49 international dancers giving life to a stunning choreography. The highest grossing Cirque du Soleil show, and one of the highest grossing touring shows of all time, it sold over 100 million tickets since its debut. With an average ticket price of $150 per adult, it generated over $500 million in sales, grossing $140 million in 2011 and $160 million in 2012, with a revenue of approximately $3 million per show.

With an average ticket price of $260 per adult, Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE is the company’s most expensive show to date. A stunning theatrical performance, it premiered in 2013 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where the Michael Jackson Theater was specially remodeled to accommodate the performance. More theatrical, the second Michael Jackson inspired Cirque du Soleil show is written and directed by Jamie King, and is a transformative adventure, a theatrical evocation of the pop singer’s creative genius performed on a soundtrack that includes 25 Michael Jackson tunes. Since its debut in May 2013, the show grossed over $100 million, making it one of the highest earning resident shows in America.
