Chronicling the months from April through June, 2009, the film is drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, and genius as he creates and perfects his final show. "I have never been partners with a more creative, innovative or groundbreaking entertainer than Michael Jackson," said producer Randy Phillips, President & CEO, AEG LIVE. "While the concerts would have been the greatest shows in the history of music, our film will provide a historic event for Michael's fans to see for themselves the genius that he was and the creativity, talent and imagination that the entire cast devoted to create the ‘greatest concert that never happened'." [2009, Runtime: 111 min, Rated:PG] This event is free to the public. Seats are available on a first-come first-serve basis.
