Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour

I can't believe it's been more than a year....that's when I first heard about Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour™. May 2011!  Serious hype!  And now the show I've heard so much about is opening in Atlanta - though for only three performances at Philips Arena: Friday, June 29th at 8pm, Saturday, June 30th at 8pm and Sunday, July 1st at 4pm. You can still purchase tickets by CLICKING HERE. I have a feeling this one is not to be missed. I'm going to the opening night show (still deciding if I should bring one of my kids as my date...) and I'll post about it when we get home.
