MICHAEL JACKSON IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR COURTESY OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

If you take $57 million, the fabulous talents of a superstar and the polished perfection of a theatrical giant, the razzle-dazzle spectacular that results can be summed up in one word: WOW!!!

The place to be on May 2 and 3, 2012 was the Hartford’s 16,500 seat XL Center for all the sparkle, showmanship and spectacle when Cirque du Soleil and Michael Jackson joined forces for a powder keg of professional party going.

With a giving tree at its center, to symbolize Michael Jackson’s record $300 million to charities around the world, the evening focused on Jackson’s life, his smooth dance moves, his sensational songs, his incredible contributions to world peace.  With pyrotechnics and graphic videos, his childhood as part of the Jackson 5, his precious Neverland Ranch, his love of animals, his great tunes like “Dangerous,” “Thriller,” “Beat It” and “Man in the Mirror” are all brought to colorful, throbbing life.

The tribute ends with a sea of pulsing red hearts, a flurry of world flags and a burst of fiery fireworks.  Michael Jackson would have loved it and you will too.
