Tupac's hologram walks into a bar and drowns its sorrows, wishing its latest performance were half as "bad" as what Mike is putting to us. Hitting Dallas Tuesday and Wednesday, Cirque du Soleil presents Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour, featuring the company's signature acrobatics to expand upon and honor the King of Pop's original earth-shattering, moon-quaking moves and beats. More than two hours celebrating Jackson's illustrious career, the performance sweeps viewers to a fantasy realm where Michael's love of animals and nature reigns supreme and where his "inspirational Giving Tree - the wellspring of his creativity" grows in love and harmony. Remaining true to Jackson's creative vision, Cirque du Soleil adds whimsical contortions and high-flying stunts in a surreal and imaginative homage to one of America's most beloved performers as if dear old Mike had traded the Propofol for a little mescaline. Tickets are on sale now and run from $50 to $175. Call 1-800-745-3000 or 214-665-4797 or visit cirquedusoleil.com for more details.
