The show boasts a full range of songs by the King of Pop, from “Beat It” and “Thriller,” to “Scream” and “Jam.” More than 35 songs in all are featured throughout the show.
This show will mark the first time dancer Tammy To has worked with Cirque du Soleil. Previously, To has performed with singers Fergie and Celine Dion and danced with the Radio City Rockettes during their Christmas Spectacular.
The Cirque du Soleil show, however, has really been different, according to To.
“To be able to do something this massive and to travel to so many different countries and to perform for so many MJ fans, it’s been a really unique and amazing experience,” To said.
Being a dancer in Los Angeles, To had worked with some of the choreographers and directors for the “IMMORTAL” show before. When she heard there were going to be auditions for this event, To knew she had to be a part of it.
To said she grew up as a Jackson fan. As a dancer, being a fan means a little more, as Jackson was known for creating dance moves.
“He was so iconic,” To said. “I think it’s every dancer’s dream to dance to as much MJ as possible.”
