Wie es aussieht, wird es nun doch eine dauerhafte Show der Immortal World Tour in Las Vegas geben.

Cirque confirms Michael Jackson show to debut at Mandalay Bay in 2013
By Robin Leach
(4/21/11)

Ständige Michael Jackson- show wird im Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas 2013 starten

Cirque du Soleil executives confirmed last night that the second and permanent Michael Jackson residency show -- its eighth Strip production -- will open at Mandalay Bay in 2013. The ambitious project has the full blessing and support of the executors of The King of Pop’s estate, and the news confirms the world exclusive VegasDeLuxe.com story revealed here Oct. 20 about the alliance and the two megabucks shows.

Cirque du Soleil-Führungskräfte bestätigten letzte Nacht, dass die zweite und permanente Michael Jackson Show - Die achte Strip Produktion - im Mandalay Bay im Jahr 2013 eröffnet wird. Das ehrgeizige Projekt hat den vollen Segen und die Unterstützung der Nachlassverwalter des King of Pop`Estate, und die Nachricht bestätigt die weltexklusive Story von VegasDeLuxe.com die am 20. Oktober über die Allianz und die beiden Megashows berichtete.

It also spells the end of Disney’s beautiful and spectacular The Lion King at Mandalay Bay. Cirque and Mandalay officials will formally announce details next Wednesday in a panel discussion with Jerry Nadal, the senior VP of Cirque’s resident shows division in Las Vegas.

Außerdem bedeutet das das Ende der schönen und spektakulären Disney's König der Löwen im Mandalay Bay. Cirque und Mandalay-Offizielle verkünden Details am kommenden Mittwoch in einer Podiumsdiskussion mit Jerry Nadal, den Senior Vice President of Cirque in der ansässigen Abteilung in Las Vegas.

I’m reliably told that The Lion King will cease performances by the end of the year. Currently, tickets are on sale through Sept. 8. Work on reconstructing and redesigning the theater to be renamed in Michael’s honor would begin by next January for the 2013 premiere.

Aus sicherer Quelle weiß ich, dass die show König der Löwen bis Ende des Jahres eingestellt wird. Derzeit läuft der Vorverkauf für den 8 September. Die Arbeit an der Rekonstruktion und Neugestaltung des Theaters das zu Michaels Ehren umbenannt wird, wird im nächsten Januar für die Premiere in 2013 beginnen.

The new “permanent celebration” of Michael’s genius will follow the Immortal world tour rock concert arena show that opens this fall. The two-year global jaunt kicks off in Montreal on Oct. 2 with its world premiere, and then arrives at Mandalay Bay Events Center for a 33-concert schedule Dec. 3-27. Dates to an initial eight-night run were added due to extraordinary ticket demand.

Die neue "permanente Feier" von Michael's Genie folgt der Immortal world tour in Rockkonzertarenen, die dieses Jahr im Herbst beginnen. Der zweijährige globale Ausflug startet in Montreal am 2. Oktober mit seiner Weltpremiere und kommt dann ins Mandalay Bay Event Center für ein 33-Konzertprogramm im Dezember vom 3. bis 27. Die Termine wurden zu den ersten 8 Nächten hinzugefügt aufgrund der außergewöhnlichen Ticket-Nachfrage.

Details will be revealed next week, along with a presentation on the new show by writer, director and choreographer Jamie King, Cirque CEO Daniel Lamarre, Mandalay Bay President Chuck Bowling and Michael’s estate executor (and former lawyer) John Branca. VegasDeLuxe.com posted an interview with Jamie last Nov. 10 on the projects and his plans for the touring production

Details werden nächste Woche bekannt gegeben, zusammen mit einem Vortrag über die neue Show von Autor, Regisseur und Choreograph Jamie King, Cirque CEO Daniel Lamarre, Mandalay Bay Präsident Chuck Bowling und Michael Testamentsvollstrecker (und ehemaligen Anwalt) John Branca. VegasDeLuxe.com hatte in einem Interview mit Jamie letzten November über die Projekte und seine Pläne für die Tournee-Produktion gesprochen.

None of this is new to VegasDeLuxe.com readers, who first learned about the “unparalleled and extensive relationship” of Michael’s estate lawyers, Cirque and Mandalay Bay back in October in our exclusive interview with Daniel.

Check back later this morning for that interview with him. We’ll report directly from next week’s presentation for updates to all of the above, plus the breaking news.

Neuer Bericht direkt nach der Präsentation der nächsten Woche.

To kick-off the tour stop in Las Vegas, fans will have the chance to experience the legacy of Michael Jackson in a whole new way during the first ever Estate-authorized Michael Jackson Fan Fest taking place for a limited time only at Mandalay Bay beginning December 3, 2011. This experience is expected to include a wide variety of elements such as an up-close look at Michael Jackson memorabilia, items from Neverland Ranch, photo opportunities in recreated sets from historic Michael Jackson videos, a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour, a main stage featuring contests, Q&A sessions with members of the creative team fromMichael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour as well as other associates of Michael Jackson, giveaways and more.

Ticket and session information will be announced in the coming weeks and http://www.MichaelJacksonFanFest.com will offer up-to-the-minute updates on the Fan Fest.

Said John Branca and John McClain, Executors of The Estate of Michael Jackson: “We are thrilled to establish Michael’s home away from home at Mandalay Bay. Because of its remote location, few people will ever get to visit Michael’s Neverland Ranch. But millions of Michael’s fans will be able to hear Michael’s music and experience him in tangible and exciting new ways at Mandalay Bay. We are especially excited that the Estate has authorized the first Michael Jackson Fan Fest, something Michael’s fans have been calling for and something Michael always wanted for his fans. We look forward to working with our partners – Mandalay Bay, Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International – in implementing these exciting projects.”

MICHAEL JACKSON ALL ACCESS

Mandalay Bay also will be the permanent home of a creative collaboration from The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil aimed at giving fans a unique encounter with Michael’s artistic genius, sense of wonder and humanitarian spirit. Just as Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour and the newly announced permanent show at Mandalay Bay will open the eyes and ears of the world to experiencing Michael’s music in a whole new way, this permanent exhibit will take fans, new and old, on a journey to the next level by giving them the opportunity to access Michael Jackson – the consummate performer, the philanthropist and the person – in entirely new ways, in part using the most state-of-the-art interactive technology. This experience is expected to spark memories, inspire hope andhelp us discover new things about Michael and ourselves, engaging minds andinspiring hearts.
