Good - Not highly reccomended for guys

This shows lacks the acrobatics that makes Cirque du Soleil unique. It felt more like a musical, music tribute that rather a combination and use of MJ songs to support a great acrobatics/drama... at sometime some acts were way too cheesy... too many hearts! I'm a fan of Michael Jackson as well as of Cirque du Soleil but this is a miss
Great show but a little of circus. Do not buy parking at Rogers arena. It took me at least 30 min to leave after show and it spoiled an otherwise awesome impression.
I was SO excited to see Cirque again, but this was a disappointment. First, Rogers Arena was too big of a venue, we could hardly see anything. Funny thing was, most of the closer seats were empty! Second, there was not enough Cirque-style acrobatics. When there finally was, the lights shone directly behind the acrobat and blinded everyone in our section throughout the entire act. Third, there were some acts that involved lighted costumes, props, etc, and on MORE THAN ONE occasion, they did not light up. I think if you are a DIE HARD Michael Jackson fan, it might be ok, but I was clearly not enough of one to see past the flaws in this show. Not for the price I paid :( I have been trying to explain to my guest, that this show was not typical of a Cirque show, so that she will come with me another time to experience how purely amazing they can be (e.g. Dralion) Also, I will not being going unless it is at a smaller venue next time. It just seemed like a cash grab. Next time do 2 shows at a smaller place so the audience can actually see it!
The women in the green leotard that came out of the ghost stories book is extremely flexible.
Loved the show. Hope the Beatles show comes next. Would love to see it!
The Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour was a visual feast. The dancing, acrobatics, and costumes were incredible! Loved every minute!
3rd Cirque show and was by far the greatest by far
Can't say enough about the choreography to the music and beat of Michael Jackson. The core strength of the Cirque de Soleil artists overwhelms me. Michael would have been proud of the honour Cirque bestowed on his talents. Not only will I recommend this show, I will try to see more Cirque shows myself.
Absolutely fantastic show....worth every penny!! What a great evening of music and dance!!
Despite the fact that we were upgraded as we arrived because only 8000 of the 16000 tickets were sold, my wife and I left at intermission. One of my pet peeves is concerts that start late, this one 20 minutes, perform for one hour and then take intermission. The music was great but our expectations of a Cirque performance are always high after attending 6 events in the past. The venue was way too big to be able to see the performers of which there weren't many. The intimate tent setting for most Cirque events is much more preferable. Do not spend your hard earned $$$ on this event!!
Music was good. Not lots of acrobatics like you would expect from a cirque du soleil. Overall it was good. Not my fave.
I really enjoyed the show but it seemed like the worlds best opening act for MJ ...I kept expecting him to walk out any moment.....as much as the performers were extremely entertaining the show lacked something ....namely the star .....
Great show! Excellent dancers, music and video were fantastic! Good job
THIS IS MY 3RD TIME SEEING THIS BEAUTIFUL, DEEP, HAPPY LIFE-AFFIRMING EVENT. JUST SPEND THE MONEY AND GO....YOU'LL BE TRANSFORMED! I WAS BLOWN AWAY FROM BEGINNING TO END. I WILL NEVER MISS THIS SHOW AGAIN.
It's such an amazing and entertaining tribute to Michael Jackson. I encourage people to stand up and dance. It's a show that you can't just sit quiet.
To be honest, I would never have called myself a die-hard MJ fan. I knew his music, I liked some songs... but to see his work presented like this, with the incredible, almost unbelievable feats of the artists in Cirque du Soleil, my adoration and respect for him as an artist, a dreamer, and a human being grew. Isn't that the point of art?
It is awsome! Everyone should go. I loved the whole show, especially when the dancers looked like stars in the sky,
worse cirque show of the 5 that I have been to. All others were great. Rogers arena is not the place to have a cirque show, it needs to be in the big tent. Also this wasn't a real cirque show ,it was a dance show with a few stunts thrown in . Very disappointed
The concert was amazing! Great sound and costumes! Dancers and acrobats were very entertaining. I thought "The Way You Make Me Feel" would have been a great song for Cirque to give it's special touch to! I was disappointed to find it not included.
