CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IS GETTING IN ON MICHAEL JACKSON'S ACT...

 
Via TMZ: 

Cirque du Soleil is unveiling the images that will drive what could be the biggest show under the big top ever -- driven by Michael Jackson's music ... and TMZ got hold of the image that will drive the production. The world tour is a partnership between the MJ Estate and Cirque -- each sharing 50% of the profits.  It will kick off in the Fall of next year in Canada, and work its way south to the US of A.

The show will end up with a permanent home at the MGM Mirage hotel in Las Vegas -- probably in late 2012. Cirque has already released sketches of what the show will look like.

Our name for these shenanigans is "The Milking MJ Project", but who are we? So really though, was all this stuff that we've been posting lately been in the works since BEFORE his death? It seems a bit much for such short a time; a book, a Wii game, a Cirque Du Soleil world tour? What's next? Never mind...we're afraid to ask actually.  Pop the Trunk for sketches up this up coming circus stage show...
