Dancing Machine/Blame it on the Boogie by MJImmortalImmortal serves as the soundtrack to Cirque du Soleil show The Immortal World Tour, authorized by Jackson’s estate. The currently touring show, according to writer/director Jamie King, features 10 choreographers and a live band lead by Jackson’s keyboardist Greg Phillinganes. 60 of Jackson’s songs are performed during the show. King told Billboard.com: "It's an ambitious show. Everything about this project has felt large. Being around (Jackson), he always wanted everything larger, bigger -- more confetti, more pyro, more magic. He wanted fans to feel like they were getting the best experience ever, so we started with that and moved forward.
"With every aspect of this show we've pushed the envelope -- costumes, music, going above and beyond what Michael was as a star and really putting it on steroids, taking it to the next level."
About the music used for The Immortal Tour, Kevin Antunes, music engineer, said: "I want to make sure that the fans, his family and everyone that was close to him know this is a Michael Jackson record."
Regarding the music and Cirque du Soleil performance, Attorney Howard Weitzman of Jackson’s estate said: "I think the estate would like the show to be a celebration of Michael's creativity, his legacy and his music and wants it to be an everlasting tribute to Michael's art and his genius. Michael was a big fan of Cirque du Soleil. It's a great marriage."
