Anyone here seen the show? I saw it once a couple years ago.. absolutely incredible! The effects, dancing, acrobatics and the mashed-up/remixed music is amazing! Everyvseat in the audience has stereo speakers in the headrest and that's where all the background vocals come out at...Even Janet is included in then Scream segment and her voice sounds crystal clear.. here are some videos I found on YouTube to give you an idea of what it's like in case you're not aware..

The intro/beginning..

 

 

The climax... the hologram (watch until the last couple seconds)

never saw it I thought the show went on a tour of the US at some point? is the show still going ?

the touring show "Michael Jackson: Immortal" ended a couple years ago.. it was touring around the world for almost 4 years and eventually became the 6th or 7th highest grossing music tour in history (alongside Madonna, the Stones, etc).. the "MJ One" show is a permanent residency at the Mandalay Bay in vegas.. both are produced by Cirque Du Soleil, and both are directed by Jamie King.. but they're very different shows..

I've seen both, and the touring Immortal show definitely had more of a rock concert feel to it, while the MJOne show in vegas is way more theatrical and special effects driven (there's a fking hologram in it!).. its crazy good tho.. Janet is/was featured in both shows, and the Scream segment is doope ?!

A big regret is not seeing the Cirque du Soleil show that toured the world a few years ago :(

it was amazing! You could feel the bass in your chest, the music was so loud.. and the pyro and effects and lighting was insane! One of the best parts was that the band was mostly comprised of all former MJ band members that were scheduled to go out on the This Is It dates with him.. 

that was the biggest/best difference between the Immortal Tour and the MJ One residency show in vegas...the touring show had a live band and backup singers, as opposed to MJ One which is all remixed/mashed-up playback (still sounds incredible though)..
