Cirque Du Soleil is rewriting HIStory with Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour Cirque du Soleil is bringing its new Michael Jackson-inspired show to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in October. CIRQUE Du Soleil is rewriting HIStory with Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, an arena-sized tribute to the enduring pop icon, heading to Adelaide in October. Acrobats, contortionists, dancers and musicians interpret more than 35 of Jackson's songs in the spectacular stage show, which will play at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for three nights from October 15. Long-time collaborator Travis Payne, who worked on the HIStory, Dangerous and tragically-curtailed This Is It tours, says Jackson always intended to team up with the Montreal-based circus troupe. ``The opportunity just never presented itself," says the choreographer, who sees Cirque and Jackson's shared appreciation of fantasy, escapism and sheer scale as an extremely good fit. Sadly, the announcement of the show comes less than a week after a Cirque du Soleil performer tragically plunged 15 metres to her death during the finale of the troupe's show Ka at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Casino. At the core of the show, however, is Jackson's music - Cirque have unprecedented access to Jackson's master tapes in a special partnership with Sony and the Jackson family. More than 35 songs - including Dangerous, Thriller, Beat It, They Don't Care About Us, Man In the Mirror, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough and Billie Jean - are re-imagined during the course of the hit show, which will also travel to Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne ahead of the Adelaide shows. Tickets go on sale through ticketek on Wednesday, July 10. The stripped-back vocal track is so pristine, you can hear Jackson snap his fingers and stomp his feet. ``In a way, it's like we actually have Michael with us on every song," says audio programmer Greg Rule.
