Cirque du Soleil is joining forces with the true entertainment legend Michael Jackson.
The magic of Cirque du Soleil and the genius of the King of Pop will be combined in the creation, development, and production of Michael Jackson projects based on the music and songs of Michael Jackson.
An arena-touring show is expected to debut in late Fall 2011 and a Las Vegas permanent show is expected to open in late 2012.
The estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil will each own 50 percent of each Michael Jackson project.
PT BARNUM: THIS WAY TO EGRESS
Egress was a fancy word for "Exit." They kept on looking for this strange new attraction, the "Egress". Many patrons followed the signs right out the door! Once they had exited the building, the door would lock behind them, and if they wanted to get back in, they had to pay another admission charge!
Modern museums make sure that the last thing you see before you exit is the gift shop.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE (CHARLES SPENCER) CHAPLIN 1889-1997)
"Smile" is a song, originally used as an instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music. While some believe the words were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, the sheet music was sold with the lyrics accredited to Chaplin[citation needed]. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile.
INTO THE EYE OF THE HORNETS NEST MICHAEL JACKSON SPEAKS OF DR. THOME
3:40 STOP TAPE Thome speaks about working with Michael
In the spring of 2009 it was announced that Jackson would be auctioning off some 2,000 items of personal property, most of which were from Neverland on April 22.
On April 14 2009 it was announced that plans to hold the auction were halted after Jackson “successfully” sued Julien’s Auctions in Los Angeles.
Tohme’s ties to the Nation of Islam came to light when the auctioneer of Jackson’s items, Darren Julian, filed an affidavit in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Julian alleged that during a meeting with Tohme’s business partner James R. Weller, Weller had threatened Julian:
“According to Julien’s account, ‘Weller said if we refused to postpone [the auction], we would be in danger from ‘Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam; those people are very protective of Michael’.
He told us that Dr Tohme and Michael Jackson wanted to give the message to us that ‘our lives are at stake and there will be bloodshed’.
BATTLE INSIDE THE ESTATE
The LA Times is reporting that there’s a “battle brewing” between Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine and the temporary administrators of Jackson’s estate. The Times also mentioned concert promoter AEG. While the press is focusing on the temporary administrators of the trust named in Jackson’s will and Katherine, we see a different slant to this story, of AEG seeking to keep the details of its involvement in Michael Jackson’s final months as well as his death, under wraps. Details which, we believe, if revealed, will result in a massive wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live and Colony Capital, co-promoter of the 50 concerts slated in London.
We also believe that yet another person will be involved, the “mysterious” Dr. Tohme Tohme, who recently “returned” $5.5 million in “secret cash” and items from Neverland which belonged to Jackson and which were originally slated to be auctioned off prior to Jackson’s death to the Jackson estate.
According to ABC, Dr. Tohme, Jackson’s “unpaid adviser”, recently turned over to the Jackson estate $5.5 million in ” secret cash” and a “substantial amount of tangible personal property”. Property which were Jackson’s personal Neverland items that were once slated to be auctioned.
The auction was “called off” with Jackson’s personal items being returned to Jackson. We found this quote from Julien dated June 26, the about the fate of Jackson’s personal items and whether the items would be auctioned off now that Jackson was dead:
“We returned everything to Michael immediately after the exhibit was canceled. It is still in storage. Under the right circumstances, I would agree to undertake the auction again.” Last week the Jackson estate reported that it had received from Tohme $5 million in “secret cash” and that Tohme had “turned over items from the pop star’s Neverland estate that were once scheduled to be auctioned”.
