Good for you!
I'm planning to go to Stockholm show, because the show in Helsinki is during the week and it's difficult for me to travel from the other side of the country at that time... The Stockholm show is on the weekend, so there's much more time to travel then. Although it would be nice to see the show with fellow Finns, but no can do

#MichaelJackson show at #MandalayBay still on track for May 13 2013. Will be more theatrical than touring show. #FB #vegas
Jackson show will "probably" run 6 months in Europe. Recently offered more dates in London and quickly sold out #FB #cirque#vegas

Are they planning to bring the physical giving tree back at all? Does anyone know?
But I guess they just scrapped it and save it for the resident show.

Actually I don't even know where I'll be in November - if I'm even in Finland.. but I had to get the ticket just in case. If I can't make it, I'll sell it to a fellow fan and go see the show somewhere elseGood for you!

MICHAEL JACKSON UPDATES
Meantime, the newest Cirque show to open in Las Vegas will be the Michael Jackson permanent spectacular at Mandalay Bay. “We are in full construction mode now,“ Daniel said. “The theater is being renovated, and the equipment is being redesigned. It is all set for Mandalay Bay -- there’s no chance of the show going anywhere else in Vegas. We are on target and on schedule for the May 13 opening next year.
“The big difference between the touring show and the new permanent show is that this one will be much more theatrical. The month residency of the touring show in Mandalay Bay helped us tweak it. It’s even better now than when you saw it here. It has been No. 1 on the Pollstar box office rankings since the New Year began. It will remain in North America until the fall.
“We then go to Europe for six months. We’d marked London for six dates, but they sold out immediately just to Cirque club members. We’re looking to add at least three more shows there. It’s a stampede in Asia with the promoters there, so we’re now putting that part of the plan into place.
“A show of this kind would normally run two years, and now we’re looking at three, maybe four years. Many cities here in North America were sold out, so we would like the show to come back for repeat dates -- but not on this side of the country because we don’t want to cannibalize the new Mandalay show.”

Review: Michael Jackson, Cirque du Soleil a sensory overload
Posted: March 8, 2012 - 12:25am | Updated: March 8, 2012 - 11:09am
Cirque du Soleil
Sparks shoot from dancers' guns as they perform Michael Jackson's famous "lean" move during "Smooth Criminal."
Cirque dul Soleil
Appearing as a black and a white swan, two Cirque artists perform to Michael Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You."
^ This is new act addition. It wasn't there originally.
The pairing of Michael Jackson’s music and the theatrics of Cirque du Soleil might just be too much of a good thing.
Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil, which played at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on
Wednesday night (and returns Thursday night) is a sensory overload.
Jackson’s music is played live by a crack 11-piece band (all except for Jackson’s vocals, obviously), and that alone is pretty overwhelming.
Throw in dozens of dancers, aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, mimes, explosions, break dancers, beatboxers, strobes, mummies, a dancing monkey and a bikini-clad cellist, and it’s almost too much to take in.
The Cirque performers – more than 50 in all, not counting the band – are as gifted and energetic as any you’ll ever see. But a few stood out, even from that crowd: contortionist Baaska Enkhbaatar, who apparently has no bones; one-legged dancer Jean Sok, who nearly steals the show; 19-year-old guitar prodigy Desiree Bassett, who can shred with the best of them; and mime Salah Benlemqawansa, who is the thread that runs through the whole thing.
There is a plot to the show – something about trying to get into Jackson’s fabled Neverland Ranch – but it’s really beside the point. Like other Cirque shows, it’s about sitting back and watching extraordinary performers doing their thing. For the most part, that’s dance, but it’s generally not dance like you’d see anywhere else – dancers are flipping or flying or hanging off poles or bouncing off walls or rising out of the floor where you least expect them.
Jackson’s music, some of which has been heavily remixed, sets this apart from other Cirque shows, though. When the band strikes up “Thriller” or “Beat It” or “Human Nature” or “Smooth Criminal,” the crowd reacts, regardless of what the Cirque performers are doing on stage. The show touches on dozens of his hits but, with a career like his there is just no way to play all of them.
It’s not a concert, it’s not a circus, it’s not a freak show and it’s not a dance recital. But it is a show you won’t soon forget.

"Michael Jackson: The Immortal," Cirque du Soleil's tribute to the late singer brought in an astounding $2,362,502 over the past three months -- more than any other touring concert act.
only 2.36 million in 3 months? that's low.
but take a look at the AP story
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/top-20-concert-tours-pollstar-15881897
I think the 2.36 million figure is the average box office gross per city, right?
We still don't get the total gross number since last Nov.
