(Hong Kong, May10) The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil will bring Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour™ to Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld Arena from August 23 to 25, it was announced today. AEG Live Asia will host this electrifying, once-in-a-lifetime production, which is being presented by Budweiser, in association with Infiniti and official sponsors American Express, Blackberry and Starwood. Tickets are priced at HK$ 288/488/688/888 & 1288 (Limited VIP Packages), will be available for early bird pre-sale from May 13th starting at 10am at www.hkticketing.com or by calling (852) 31 288 288. Act fast to see the music of an artistic legend brought to life on Hong Kong’s greatest stage.
A riveting fusion of visuals, dance, music, and fantasy, THE IMMORTAL World Tour™ immerses audiences in the story of one of the 20th century’s defining artists. Written and directed by long time Michael Jackson collaborator, Jamie King, this show contextualizes Michael’s artistic legacy in the tradition of the legendary Cirque du Soleil. Created for the enjoyment of lifelong fans as well as those experiencing Michael’s creative genius for the first time, the show captures the essence, soul and inspiration of the King of Pop, celebrating a talent that transcends generations.
The production is woven together by more than 35 of Michael’s songs including classics such as Beat It, Billie Jean, and Earth Song, alongside popular hits from the Jackson 5 era. The musical component of the show was fashioned by Musical Designer Kevin Antunes and Musical Director Greg Phillinganes, who
worked with Michael for over 25 years. Using mash-ups, remixes and new arrangements, THE IMMORTAL World Tour™ brings a breathtaking array of material to the stage, incorporating elements from his many artistic periods. The result is a complete soundscape, assembled from hours of recordings and unreleased material. The audience will hear Michael’s fingers click and his feet stamp, creating an engaging and intimate experience. Michael’s beautiful, rich voice dominates the mix, and soars over the playing of a live band. The stellar on-stage band includes Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett, who played drums for Michael for 30 years, as well as a host of musicians that enjoyed a close, personal relationship with the star.
“It starts with the music,” says Director Jamie King. “Michael’s voice is what drives the show. I have the opportunity to carry on Michael’s legacy, to take all that energy – all that he was and was going to be – and build it into this production. Our goal is not to simply cover Michael, but to take his music to a whole new level. ”
In paying tribute to Michael’s legacy, Jamie King has also utilized dance choreography, video projections, and creative storylines that evoke his phenomenal music and peerless stagecraft. Video projections integrate footage of Michael’s on-stage performances, making his presence an almost-palpable part of the show. The set and costumes are masterpieces of conceptual design, bringing together iconic styles and objects from Michael’s life, immersing the audience completely in his remarkable story.
During his storied career, Michael Jackson enjoyed a special relationship with the people of Hong Kong. He was one of the first western music artists to be embraced by the Hong Kong mass public and fans here continue to share their love for his genius with the millions of Michael Jackson fans across the world. Now, thanks to The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil, THE IMMORTAL World Tour™ brings a legend back to the stage and gives thousands a chance to enjoy the music of this creative genius.
“Budweiser is pleased to continue bringing the Chinese premium beer drinker unparalleled access to iconic international music content as Presenting Sponsor of the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour” said Alexander Lambrecht, APAC Zone Director, Global Brands.
“Michael Jackson is an artist that left an indelible mark on the history of pop music,” said Adam Wilkes, Senior Vice President of AEG Live Asia. “Just years after his passing, fans in Hong Kong will have their best ever opportunity to experience the magic of seeing Michael on stage. This multi-media spectacular embodies the spirit of his music, and celebrates his legacy for his Hong Kong fans. No performance of this type has ever before been seen on a Hong Kong stage, and no show will ever come as close to recreating the golden age of the undisputed King of Pop.”
