Michael Jackson One

We saw this production at the Mandalay Bay Hotel this past weekend. My wife especially was looking forward to seeing it

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “A virtual parade of ‘wow’ moments,” Michael Jackson ONE is an electrifying fusion of acrobatics, dance and visuals that reflects the dynamic showmanship of the King of Pop, immersing the audience into the world of Michael's music. Driven by his biggest hits heard like never before in a riveting, state-of-the-art surround-sound environment Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil performs exclusively at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

I have seen most of the Cirque de Soleil acts on the Vegas strip with my very best being "O", Ka and Beatles Love and typically immerse myself in the act so I was hoping for the same here

Sadly this was not the case. It highlighted many of Michael's hits with the Cirque de Soleil theme. However it was nothing more than trampolines, swings and a tight wire. There were a few overhead floating people. Music was very loud. Graphics and videos were very good but at the end walking out I found I was suffering from tinnitus for a few minutes and was left wanting more (or anything for that matter)

If you're a MJ fan I suppose you will want to see this. I was disappointed and my wife who is a lot easier entertained than me was also shaking her head

I liked it when I saw it years ago. If I saw it now, I think it would look very dated.

This was my favorite and if you don't have the CD I highly recommend it, a sonic pleasure.
Her voice melts my soul.
During the performance we saw she came off stage and sat on my buddies lap and ran her fingers through his hair and sung to him, one lucky guy!
I had the pleasure of meeting her and the band and getting my cd autographed by them!
The second clip is actually live and gives me the chills.

The complete award winning album, the musical score is amazing, demands a complete sit down session.

My youngest brother is the SVP for Operations for Treasure Island in LV. They have the longest running and most traditional of the Circe du Soleil shows, Mystere. We saw it last year - very balletic and artistic and no over the top leave the room sonics. If you want to see a traditional Circe show, then Mystere is a great treat.

have you seen O, Ka or Beatles Love

Those are traditional Cirque De Soleil shows. I liked Mystere but not like the above 3 which I mentioned

Last Spring was the first time in LV in 20 years. We had a high School mini reunion. Mystere is actually the only LV show that I have ever seen. Larry
