Mußte ja letztens ein bissel Schmunzeln als ich die neue DJ Bobo Konzertreklame in Oberhausen an der Arena gesehen habe. Die sieht der "Michael Jackson Immortal" Tour Reklame doch ein wenig abgeguckt...

Hier ist das Transkript eines Interviews, welches kürzlich mit Tara Young, der künstlerischen Regisseurin der
"The Immortal World Tour", geführt wurde:Interview: Cirque Du Soleil's Artistic Director Tara Young on The Immortal World Tour
When people ask me to describe Cirque Du Soleil, I like to say it is, simply put, the Circus for pretentious people. It has all the same tropes –clowns, jugglers, amazing high flying feats of daring, trapeze acts, and more. What they do so well is dress up what we know and love about old-school circuses in spectacular costumes, staging, music, and theater trappings for a unique experience.
One thing they have always done so well is special theme shows. In Vegas they have shows dedicated to Elvis, The Beatles, and magic. In Los Angeles they have a show dedicated to movies.
Ten years ago they only did one or two shows every couple of years. They now have over 21 ongoing shows. With seven of these in Las Vegas, it has become their de facto American home. This year they are embarking on their grandest concept ever, a tribute to Michael Jackson. The Immortal World Tour is the first time Cirque Du Soleil will play in arenas like Madison Square Garden, the Verizon Center, the Izod Center and more. It will be interesting to see if the intimate nature of a Cirque show can translate to these grand-scale environments.
The mostly sold-out tour kicked off a few months ago and will probably be hitting a city near you soon. The show is managed by Artistic Director Tara Young. Raised in Calgary, Alberta, Tara began dancing at the age of three. Her dream was to be on Broadway, and at just 19 years old she was fortunate enough to land her first job, dancing with Liza Minnelli in “STEPPIN OUT at Radio City Music Hall”.
I recently had a chance to speak with Tara Young. It went a little bit like this.
Can you tell us a bit about what you do and your role in Cirque Du Soleil as an organization?
An artistic director for Cirque du Soleil maintains the integrity of the production that was created. On a daily basis, I strive for excellence from the performers and the staff to present an opening night performance every single day.
How did the idea for The Immortal World Tour come about?
Michael Jackson had a huge affection for Cirque du Soleil so after he died it seemed like a natural progression for the two to collaborate together.
What type of research goes into putting a show like this together?
When honoring an icon like Michael Jackson it is imperative to look at all elements and facets of his life including the highs and lows.
When casting a show like this, do you look for outside performers or can you use performers from other Cirque Shows for this production?
Cirque du Soleil is a very loyal company that loves to promote from within. That said, with 21 shows being presented around the world, they also look outside and there is opportunity for people from all over the world to be a part of a Cirque du Soleil show.
There are so many different Cirque Productions going on right now. How independent are they from each other?
Every Cirque du Soleil show is a unique creation. This show specifically stands out because it was written and directed by Jamie King who comes from the pop/rock world.
For the Immortal World Tour, how do you decide which MJ Music to include out of such a large selection?
That was a decision made by the show creators. Because Michael has such an expansive library of music it was impossible to include every song [but] over 35 of his songs are featured in some way.
Doing a show like this must be difficult. I'm sure you want to do something unique and different, but at the same time fans will walk in expecting what they know... How do you avoid simply recreating MJ's famous moments and do something exciting and new?
We create something exciting and new by making this collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. Seeing acrobatic performances set to Michael Jackson music is not very common on stage.
Will the show remain the same from city to city, or do you have a rotating set list to pull from?
The wonderful thing about our production is that it has a theatrical feel. No piece of live entertainment stays exactly the same every night even though our set list is consistent from city to city.
How involved was the Jackson family in this production?
The Estate was very involved and supportive. They appreciated Michael’s love for Cirque du Soleil and provided access to Michael’s original tracks and some never-before-heard clips.
What would you say are the show's primary themes?
I always say that you will feel changed after seeing this production. We take you on a journey through a variety of emotions, and most importantly when audiences walk out of the arena they will feel inspired.
What is it about MJ that makes him live on long after his death?
He will forever be a legend because of the messages he told and the amount of people he touched in his lifetime.
After the tour ends, what's next? Will it find a permanent home somewhere in Vegas?
We still have many more cities to visit with the tour, and after that this show won’t have a permanent residency in Vegas.

Cirque du Soleil Channels Michael Jackson In Energetic Arena Show
How do you merge the music and dancing of Michael Jackson with the performers of Cirque du Soleil?
Audiences will get to see the collaboration between the world of circus and the pop artist — who was mesmerized by Cirque shows — when the Canadian-based entertainment conglomerate brings its latest arena show — "Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour" — to Hartford's XL Center on May 2 and 3 at 8 p.m.It's like seeing a real live arena rock show," says Kevin Antunes, musical designer and director of the show which features a 12-piece band, many of them who worked with Jackson, who died in 2009 at the age of 50. "It has that rock concert energy."
Cirque calls the show the biggest arena tour in the world.
The aim was to celebrate his music, dancing and life, says Tara Young artistic director of the tour, based on Jamie King's staging.
Antunes, whose most recent gig was working directly for Madonna on her record breaking "Sticky & Sweet" world tour, worked closely with the King, the show's writer and director known for guiding pop concert shows. The Cirque show was created in cooperation with the Jackson Estate.
The tour was launched in Montreal last October and is winding through the U.S.
The show's development began at Cirque's headquarters in Montreal with circus perforrmers improvising to Jackson's music. "All [the performers] assembled and showed what they could do to Jamie," says Antunes. "It was very cool as Jamie began to conceptualize the show."
Antunes says there was no pre-set agenda to use certain acts and that the Jackson's music was the inspiration for the pairings among the acrobats, aerialists, jugglers and gymnasts.
Individual numbers began to emerge. "Thriller" uses a contortionist who emerges out of a "Book of Tales."
"My favorite is an aerial strap act ballet set to 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You.' It was inspired by swans seen on the Neverland Ranch, It becomes a musical representation of [the aerial act], these two bodies swirling around and wrapping around each other."
Over time, more musical/cirque pairings were developed and eventually a story line emerged. Cirque founder and director Guy Laliberté was hands-on during the project, says Antunes.
"But we always let Michael's music lead the way," he says. "We were all aware that we were paying homage to him, that we were respectful and that we were all responsible for carrying his entire body of work and his memory to a new generation."
"Aber wir lassen immer Michaels Musik den Weg weisen", sagt er. "Wir waren uns alle bewusst, dass wir eine Hommage an ihn machen, dass wir respektvoll und dafür verantwortlich sind, sein ganzes Spekturm an Arbeit und seine Erinnerung an neue Generation weiterzugeben."Antunes says the show opens with "Remember The Time" and follows Jackson's story starting with "Have You Seen My Childhood" "where you see Michael through the eyes of a child." The rough story line, he says, follows fans who enter Neverland where they discover Jackson's career and life.
The show "takes place in a fantastical realm where we discover Michael's Inspirational Giving Tree — the well spring of his creativity."There's a six-foot tall glove, eight-foot long penny loafers and huge projections (including clips of Jackson's performances) on a giant LED screen
Antunes, sagt die Show beginnt mit "Remember The Time" und folgt Jacksons Geschichte, beginnend mit "Have You Seen My Childhood", "wo man Michael durch die Augen eines Kindes sieht." Die grobe Handlung, sagt er, folgt Fans, die Neverland betreten wo sie Jacksons Karriere-und Lebensplanung entdecken.
Die Show "findet in einem fantastischen Reich statt wo wir Michaels inspirierenden Giving Tree entdecken - "Die Quelle für seine Kreativität". Es gibt eine sechs Meter hohen Handschuh, acht Fuß lang Penny Loafer und riesige Projektionen (zB Clips von Jacksons Auftritte) auf einem riesiger LED-Bildschirm.Major hits included in the show are "Billie Jean," "Beat It, "Ben," "Wanna Be Starting Something," "Human Nature," "I'll Be There," "Smooth Criminal" and "Dancing Machine" but Jackson's catalogue is so vast that they couldn't be all included and would require many more shows," says Antunes.
The show ends with "Man in the Mirror," a song Jackson often use to finish his concerts.
Große Hits, die in der show enthalten sind "Billie Jean", "Beat It" , "Ben "," Wanna Be Starting Something "," Human Nature "," I´ll Be There "," Smooth Criminal "und" Dancing Machine ", aber Jacksons Katalog ist so groß, dass sie nicht alles aufnehmen können und viele weitere Shows erfordern würde ", sagt Antunes. Die Show endet mit "Man in the Mirror", ein Lied das Jackson oft verwendete um seine Konzerte zu beenden.Antunes says the soundtrack highlights Michael's voice, using the master tracks and then re-arranging the music for the Cirque show. "We wanted to take the music to a whole new level," he says.
Collaborating with music director Greg Phillinganes, who worked with Jackson for more than 25 years, Antune says there were opportunities to take something not quite as well-known from then-master tracks and make them special, he says, such as the little know Spanish tracks Jackson performed for "I Just Can''t Stop Loving You."
Antunes, sagt der Soundtrack unterstreicht Michaels Stimme, die Master-Tracks wurden genommen und dann neu arrangiert für die Cirque Show. "Wir wollten die Musik auf ein ganz neues Level zu bringen", sagt er.
In Zusammenarbeit mit Greg Philliinganes, der mehr als 25 Jahre mit Jackson gearbeitet hat, sagt Antunes gab es Möglichkeiten auch nicht ganz so bekannt tracks von den Master-Tracks zu nehmen und sie besonders zu machen wie die wenig bekannte spanische Version von "I Just Can`t Stop Loving You."With 10 choreographers working with the large cast of more than 40 dancers and acrobats, the show is the Cirque's most dance-centric, but one with the cirque touch, such as when dancers also fly through the air on bungee cords, or tumble, or work the rings or perform a pole dance.
"He was a dance pioneer and this was a chance to bring the real choreography to the show and keep it alive," says Antunes, "The only place you can see the dances are on his video and in this show. We want to keep it alive for future generations.".
"Er war ein Tanz-Pionier und das war eine echte Chance, die echte Choreographie in die Show zu bringen und am Leben zu erhalten", sagt Antunes, "Der einzige Ort wo sie die Tänze sehen sind ist in seinen Videos-und in dieser Show. Wir wollen es am Leben halten für zukünftige Generationen. ".Cirque went beyond its own original lyrical musical compositions in shows centering on Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
But the Jackson show is the first featuring music by an artist who also had an affinity for the Cirque shows.
And there's another reason that makes it special, says Antunes. "He was the greatest entertainer in my lifetime."
MICHAEL JACKSON IMMORTAL will play at the XL Center in downtown Hartford on Wednesday, May 2 and Thursday May 3 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $53 to $250, not including fees. Information: 1-800-745-3000.

THE IMMORTAL World Tour is adding a sixth show on October 19th. -
http://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhe…er-auf-tour-11744737.html
Cirque du Soleil: Der Unsterbliche geht wieder auf Tour
08.05.2012 ·Michael Jackson ist der Star der neuen Show des Cirque du Soleil - er lebt in seinen Songs, dem Glamour und dem Moonwalk.
Von Hans Riebsamen, FrankfurtSteht nicht gerade Michael Jackson auf der Bühne des Cirque du Soleil, dann geht es wie hier eher akrobatisch zu.
Der Tod muss nicht das Ende sein. Michael Jackson etwa lebt weiter - jedenfalls in den Herzen seiner Fans. Die haben dafür gesorgt, dass mit dem 2009 an einer Überdosis Schlafmittel gestorbenen Superstar im vergangenen Jahr mehr Geld verdient wurde als zumindest in seinen letzten Lebensjahren. 170 Millionen Dollar flossen an Tantiemen - eine Summe, die der am Ende seines Lebens hochverschuldete Künstler gut hätte gebrauchen können, um seine finanziellen Verhältnisse wieder ins Lot zu bringen.
Michael Jackson ist unsterblich, vorläufig jedenfalls. In Frankfurt hängen die ersten Plakate seiner neuen Show, die sinnigerweise den Titel „The Immortal World Tour“ trägt. Der King of Pop ist also von den Toten auferstanden. Wer ein ungläubiger Thomas ist und einen Beweis fordert, sollte sich am 16. oder 17.November das Michael-Jackson-Spektakel des kanadischen Cirque du Soleil in der Festhalle anschauen. Dort werden die Markenzeichen des Unsterblichen zu sehen sein: der Handschuh, der Moonwalk und jener Beat, der einem fast automatisch die Beine zucken lässt. Danach wird die Show unter anderem in München, Berlin und Mannheim gezeigt.
Das Problem: „Du hast den Star nicht auf der Bühne“Bei der amerikanischen Premiere in Las Vegas waren übrigens gleich zwei weiße Handschuhe zu sehen. Ein überdimensionaler auf der Bühne im Hotel Mandalay Bay und ein originaler in einer Michael-Jackson-Ausstellung, die üppig mit Devotionalien aus den Garderoben und Spielzimmern des Popstars bestückt war. Wider besseres Wissen glaubte man in Las Vegas für einen Moment, den Meister höchstpersönlich bei der Aufführung zu erleben. „Das ist er doch“, dachte viele, als ein Tänzer im weißen und über und über mit Swarovski-Kristallen bedeckten Jogginganzug auf der vorgelagerten Bühne im unverwechselbaren Jackson-Stil moonwalkte. Die Stimme kam freilich aus der Konserve.
Das Problem, dem sich die Macher der Show gegenübersahen, hat Chantal Tremblay, die Kreativ-Direktorin dieser Show, denn auch folgendermaßen beschrieben: „Du hast den Star nicht auf der Bühne.“ Also haben sie den Star in seiner Musik, in seiner Art des Tanzens und in Videos wiederaufleben lassen. Dass der Sonnenzirkus aus Montreal um den toten Michael Jackson eine Schau kreiert hat, besitzt eine gewisse Plausibilität. Schließlich war der König der Popmusik seit den späten achtziger Jahren ein Fan des Cirque du Soleil. Zum ersten Mal hat er eine Produktion der Frankokanadier im kalifornischen Santa Monica gesehen; sein Begleiter damals war jener John Branca, der jetzt der Produzent der „Immortal World Tour“ ist. So begeistert sei Jackson bei diesem ersten Besuch gewesen, dass er sofort nach der Show hinter die Bühne gegangen sei, um mit den Künstlern zu sprechen, berichtet Branca.
Es muss nicht gespart werdenEs war seine Idee, Michael Jackson auf der Bühne wieder zum Leben zu erwecken. Den Zauberstab dafür hat der Cirque du Soleil einem Regisseur übergeben, der einst mit dem Meister persönlich auf der Bühne getanzt hat. Jamie King gehörte zum Team, das 1992 mit Jackson die „Dangerous“-Tour absolvierte. Man merkt seiner Show an, dass er ein Verehrer des verblichenen Helden ist und deshalb fast nur das Geniale und kaum das Düstere seines Idols hervorhebt. „Immortal“ feiert die Erfolge des großen Musikers und Entertainers und legt pietätvoll den Mantel des Schweigens über Jacksons bedrückenden Niedergang und seinen unwürdigen Drogentod.
Beim erfolgsverwöhnten Cirque du Soleil muss nicht gespart werden. Geld spielt keine Rolle, wenn es gilt, einen neuen Blockbuster auf die Bühne zu heben. Und ein solcher soll das „Immortal“-Spektakel werden, das mehrere Jahre durch die Welt touren soll. Regisseur King hat denn auch alles aufgeboten, was sich in eine Show packen lässt. Auf der in die Publikumsreihen hineingebauten ersten Bühne läuft eine vielköpfige Dancing Machine zur Hochform auf, gleiten Artisten an Seilen und Trapezen durch die Luft oder tanzen Mumien zur Musik von „Thriller“. Auf der Hauptbühne im Hintergrund rauschen Videoclips und historische Einspielungen über Riesenbildschirme, rockt eine scharfe Live-Band, verdrehen sich Artistenkörper und türmt sich das Eingangstor zur Neverland-Ranch auf. Wenn diese Materialschlacht auf Tour geht, sind an die 50 Trucks mit Requisiten unterwegs. Allein in den Bekleidungscontainern hängen an die 1400 Kostüme.
Gute Vermarktung ist wichtigDreißig Lieder, von zart und melodiös bis rockig und laut, spielt die zwölf Musiker umfassende Band. Das gesamte musikalische Universum des Michael Jackson leuchtet noch einmal auf: von „I just can’t stop loving you“ über „Dangerous“ und „Smooth Criminal“ bis zu „Thriller“. Und beim Mitwippen wird einem bewusst: Jacksons Musik hat ihre Kraft bewahrt.
Doch es rentiert sich die aufwendigste Show nicht, wenn sie schlecht vermarktet wird. So ist es dem Cirque du Soleil im Sommer vor zwei Jahren mit „Varekai“ in Deutschland ergangen. Die Macher in Montreal organisierten die Tour von ihrem Hauptquartier aus und scheiterten, weil sie die jeweiligen besonderen Bedingungen einer Stadt nicht berücksichtigen konnten. Aus Schaden klug geworden, haben sie für das Jackson-Spektakel den erfahrenen Frankfurter Impresario Marek Lieberberg und seine Agentur als Partner gewonnen. Der weiß aus jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung, wie man die Helden des Pop wirklich unsterblich macht.

John Branca and John McClain, Co-Executors of The Estate of Michael Jackson, said: “We are so proud of THE IMMORTAL World Tour. We recognise each and every person is part of its creative fabric, bringing joy to millions. We could think of no better way to acknowledge their participation, both as a reminder to each of them and their friends and families of the role they have each played in the show’s success, than to hear it from them personally in an Opus.”
Karl Fowler, CEO of Opus Media Group, said: “We are absolutely honoured to be working with Cirque du Soleil and The Estate of Michael Jackson on such a special project.
