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
