Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil

A standing ovation worthy show. Just pure magic. Tip: Use the MGM all to have better seat visibility and what seemed to be better pricing than the website ticket access. Everywhere I traveled in Vegas everyone asked had I seen this show. So glad I did. It is definitively the best Cirque production I've attended. Ka, O, Mystere, and many other touring offerings I've attend all have their charms. This, however, is a high paced and action packed production that has you dancing in your seats 5 minutes in. The stage performance layers, technology and dancer and performer caliber is fantastic. They even strung together passive imagery story and themes in sync with the King of Pops music. Wow. Just go.

This was probably the best show I’ve seen in my entire life (and I’ve seen a lot)! The dancing and acrobatic tricks were incredible! The actor who played Michael Jackson looked like he was floating across the stage. And to make the night even better, some of the performers came into the audience and chatted with my daughter before the show. We had such a great time! Highly recommend if you’re in Vegas!

Michael Jackson ONE – A Breathtaking Tribute Beyond Words I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Michael Jackson ONE, and it was truly beyond amazing. This show is a beautiful, powerful tribute to a man I grew up loving—a man who had more talent in his pinky finger than most people have in a lifetime. Every moment of the performance was filled with heart, passion, and artistry. The production itself was spectacular. From the flawless choreography to the mind-blowing visuals, every detail was carefully crafted to honor Michael’s legacy. His iconic music was woven into the performance seamlessly, and the energy in the room was electric. The dancers were nothing short of phenomenal—professional, precise, and filled with the same spirit Michael embodied. It was emotional, exhilarating, and absolutely worth every penny. If you’re a fan of Michael Jackson or simply love incredible live performance, this is a show that everyone should experience at least once. It’s a reminder of his genius and a celebration of the joy he brought to the world. Simply unforgettable.

I had the chance to watch Michael Jackson ONE again at Mandalay Bay, and even though it was my second time, it felt just as powerful and fresh as the first. The energy, the visuals, the choreography, and of course, the music, everything comes together in such a unique and emotional way. I found myself deeply moved at several moments throughout the show. Before the performance, there was a small celebration to mark the 5000 show, which made the night even more special. There were cocktails, a light-up MJ glove for the guests, and a great atmosphere overall. I also had the opportunity to take photos with some of the dancers before the show started. They were incredibly kind and welcoming, and that really added a personal touch to the whole experience. This show is more than entertainment, it’s a tribute, a spectacle, and a celebration of Michael Jackson’s legacy. If you’re in Las Vegas, Michael Jackson ONE is absolutely worth seeing, whether it’s your first time or your tenth

An incredible show. Do not be late as you don't want to miss anything! We were initially booked towards the back but they moved our group of 8 forwards so that we weren't far from the front. There is so much going on you don't know what to look at. Exceptional performances and it cleverly follows a story and theme throughout

Michael Jackson ONE is a spectacular tribute that left my family in awe. The show combines breathtaking choreography, acrobatics, and visuals to celebrate the King of Pop’s legacy. From the moment the curtain rose, we were immersed in Michael’s world, with his greatest hits providing the perfect soundtrack to the dazzling performances. The dancers and acrobats were phenomenal, recreating iconic moves with precision and flair. The storytelling was heartfelt, weaving together moments from Michael’s life and career in a way that resonated deeply with the audience. The production’s attention to detail, from the costumes to the lighting effects, made every scene a visual masterpiece. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to Michael’s music, Michael Jackson ONE is an unforgettable experience that captures the magic of his artistry. My family and I left the theater inspired and ready to relive the magic again someday!

Great show! I'm a fan of MJs music but wouldn't say I'm a huge fan. Thoroughly enjoyed the show anyway. Great acts, dancing and music of course. I think the teenage boy a couple seats over became a man during the "Dirty Diana" number. Yowsa! Had a lot of fun

It was phenomenal and legendary show I’ve ever seen. I will visit Las Vegas Again to see another show of them, Love the Beatles. If you seriously love live shows, don’t miss it. I also got a t-shirt and it became my go-to stage performance top.

July 28, 2024 my daughter Christi and I had the most amazing personal experience at the Michael Jackson ONE show at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas. My daughter, is A faithful Michael Jackson fan and a very charming, enthusiastic young woman with Down Syndrome. She had been looking forward to this show for quite some time. We came to Las Vegas specifically for the show for her birthday! (BTW...she announced that it was her birthday to every usher and staff person because she was so excited. She also announced to everyone that she wanted to sit in the front in spite of the fact that we had tickets in the middle of the theater) Though I expected that she would have a marvelous time, Our experience far exceeded our expectations. Maffel and Kyle were so kind to Christi.! Mafdel realized that a couple in the front row were not comfortable being so close and because Christi had an announced her desire to sit in the front they accommodated and allowed her to sit in the front! Wow, that generous and kind couple traded seats with us!! What a great experience, right? But no, they were not done yet. They had one of the dancers come and dance with Christi in the aisle. You guys made a memory for a lifetime for Miss Christi. I've been talking a lot about the experience, but haven't mentioned the show...yet! The show was amazing! Talented, enthusiastic, dedicated dancers, acrobats, and musicians. The light show aspect was beautiful and engaging We would've had the experience of a lifetime without all the special attention!! If you're considering going, I say GO... It is completely worth it. And for our family,, Maffel and Kyle will always be in our hearts as generous, kind, new friends thank you thank you

If you're a fan of Cirque du Soleil, stay far, far away from Michael Jackson One. I've seen almost every Cirque production that's ever been hosted in Vegas, and many of the traveling ones, and have been a huge Cirque fan for over twenty years, and this is the first show I would strongly dissuade anyone from paying to see. What a colossal disappointment. Also, I've been a fan of Michael Jackson my entire life. A member of my family danced with him. I listen to his music all the time. I could hardly have been more unimpressed with this production. It's difficult for me to believe that Cirque du Soleil would want their name attached to this show. As others have noted, MJ One is merely one tedious dance number after another, and almost nothing anyone would associate with Cirque performances. Couldn't believe we'd spent almost three hundred dollars to watch a bunch of boring choreography set to obnoxious, amped up versions of Michael Jackson staples. Every time it was only dancers on stage (which was often), and every time they had us watching video while NO ONE performed ANYTHING live (which was too frequent for the kind of money these tickets cost), I thought, "Maybe they're preparing the stage for some classic Cirque showcase of mind-blowing acrobatics or stunts." Nope, just more lame dance numbers. Calling this a Cirque du Soleil show at all is grossly misleading. What is more, the music is loud enough to cause hearing damage. About two thirds of the way into the production, I used a decibel reader app I've installed on my phone, and found (to no surprise) that the volume of the show easily exceeds the minimum decibel level that permanently damages hearing, and we were toward the back of the house. Other reviewers have warned of the noise level. My wife and I put in ear plugs. If these performers don't use them regularly, they're literally going deaf. If you want to spend an enormous amount of money to watch ninety minutes of dance, with a couple short acrobatics numbers, and a pole dancer thrown in, then this is the show for you. Were many in the crowd having a good time? Sure. They had no idea what the Cirque experience is supposed to be like, or what this production sorely lacks. Michael Jackson One was enough to make me seriously consider never again attending another Cirque du Soleil show, especially if this is the direction they're heading. I no longer trust the brand.

June 2, 2024 - Sunday Morning, my daughter calls and ask what we were doing tonight, well like most nights, the usual answer is nothing. So she says okay I got tickets to for a show. Okay, I love spending time with my daughter. Alright mom, I'll pick you guys up at 8. WOW!!! Loved it! Lucky we don't live far from the strip. My sister comes to my house, than my daughter comes and Mystery Arm and I head off to the strip. We get to the Luxor and it's not that far in. First I am excited because I got to see Michael Jackson Live in Hawaii, I was not missing that opportunity! To come and watch anything Michael, I truly enjoy and appreciate. To get to the theater you have to pass the grand staircase and beautiful Chandeliers. The bar is available for beverages along the way. We reach the check in point, So awesome, the ticket people have the hats and gold trimmed jackets and pants. Walk in the theater and bright lights and the stage has a huge pocket watch on the screen. As we were heading to our seats, you see by the stage a bunch or Red Coats and Black Hats, you can't help but smile because everywhere you look you see Michael Jackson. Do note that once the show starts they do come around and tell you no cameras or photos. They even have speakers on the back of the seats. In true Cirque Du Soleil fashion, people coming from the ceiling, coming up and going down from the stage, trampolines, so much lights, it's truly an amazing show. My favorite part of the show was "The Way You Make Me Feel". Simply put it's an amazing show and so worth seeing. I had to get my picture with his posters and his Red Jacket. Besides it being an amazing show, my favorite part was that I got to spend it with my daughter. Go to the Luxor, check out this show, go with great company, I don't think you could get bad seats no matter where you sit. I guarantee a fun time!

A true experience! The story is fun, the music fantastic, and the dancing and acrobats phenomenal! The holographic MJ was the highlight for me.

Growing up with MJ songs, it was an heart warming experience to see Cirque de Soleil incorporate their skillful ideas and incredible acrobatic with iconic MJ songs and dance moves. To my surprise, it wasn't 90 minutes, it was an epic 2.5 hours long show covering many many songs of MJ. The show has its high and low moments but the peak moments really gave me goose bumps. At one point they drop real snow on the crowd. At other times performers fly over your head. Simply put a spectacular show to witness. It was really easy to validate the ticket at the entrance, no long lines. There were plenty of booth to buy alcohol, popcorn and lemonade. I liked the pink lemonade a lot, but popcorn was average. They take photos of you in the hallway and inside the theater. You can purchase them after the show. They also have a merchandise store next to the theater, selling iconic MJ swags.

If you're a Michael Jackson fan then you will defiantly enjoy this show. However, if you're looking for your first "cirque de soleil" experience then I would not recommend this one. This show had more of a musical/play feel to it rather than the typical cirque show. The staff was extremely friendly. We sat 10 rows back center stage but the theater isn't that big so you will enjoy the show no matter where you sit.

What an experience! I highly recommend watching the show. It is very kid friendly. The theater is inside Mandalay Bay and you have to go through the casino. The only BAD thing is the people smoking weed inside the casino. The smell is very bad especially for the kids and they should not smoke weed inside the casino. Once inside the theater it is a very nice theater as you get a 270 degree view. And of course the closer you get the better the view as we sat top middle of first section. The seats a not as comfortable as what we have seen however, you are in for a surprise front and back by your head. This show does not disappoint! Bring the family as it is worth it. Audio, visual and lighting are one of the best and up to par in Vegas standards! SNOOP DOG WAS IN THE HOUSE AS WELL!

Michael Jackson "ONE" Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand exceeded all expectations, delivering an unforgettable audiovisual spectacle. Securing tickets online well in advance was a wise move, as the presentation proved to be worth every penny despite the absence of discounts. Located inside the MGM Grand, transportation was hassle-free via Uber, eliminating any parking concerns. From start to finish, the show captivated with its exhilarating energy and breathtaking special effects. Featuring an original Michael Jackson music score, supplemented by talented singers, the performance dispelled any initial worries about authenticity. The production boasted a dynamic combination of dance, acting, singing, and even aerial maneuvers, highlighted by a mesmerizing holographic representation of Michael Jackson dancing alongside the ensemble. Overall, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal, leaving a lasting impression and a desire for an encore viewing. It's a fantastic show that I definitely want to see again. You don't have to be a huge Michael Jackson fan to enjoy it - everyone will love it! Oh and no camera's during the show! Don't be the one to try because they will call you out very quickly with lights and yelling.

We had really good seats in section 102 row L seats 1-3 on the aisle. Lucky no one came in this row as we were first to sit, only on the other side of the row. Thanks Doc for treating us. I couldn't understand why a plain clothes person was climbing over the first row and standing up on the seats but Doc knew he must be part of the show with 3 other characters. Why those 4 regular clothed people kept appearing was a strange occurence throughout this show. Extremely loud acoustics then either we got accustomed to the volume as female dancers in colored wigs, and men in white costumes, with bling and some bare chested on one side shirts began. The light effects and varied costumes with 10-20 performers on stage at a time will bedazzle you right, left, center and descending from the ceiling or coming up and down the aisle. It seemed to me like there must have been more than one writer to the team that created this production. Contrasting ideas haphazardly displayed one after another, not a medley but like a random playlist of his songs. Strong themes touched upon towards the end. The finale had some people in the audience standing up to video what was happening on stage or getting their groove on. You might become mesmerized by the song and dance unless you believe less is more because several things are happening at the same time. I don't want to spoil the going ins in case you want to see the 90 minute show. I'll just share these two things, I liked when Thriller was highlighted with zombie like dancers and the curved pole performer in minimal red blingy costume fit like a glove. The control of her body's flexibility was a feat not to be missed. I'd encourage you to get familiar with some of his songs cuz I only recognized a handful. I still think the myriad of visuals and jaw dropping acts were pretty spectacular. The time went quickly with no intermissions. Popcorn with peanut M&Ms held us over with bottled water til after the show to have a late night dinner. Our last nite in Vegas surely captured my attention.

Forgot to take photos, but I'm sure others have plenty. We went as a family and all enjoyed it. Great tribute to MJ's musical legacy and had all the dancing and acrobatics included in a Cirque du Soleil experience. Recommend seats 4 rows away from the stage as it was extra special to be so close to the action but any seat works too especially if you're on a budget. Happy to include this show as part of my Cirque portfolio I have experienced so far.

Incredible 90 minute show! The music combined with the cirque performers and the dancing was so entertaining. This is a great show for anyone. We had a group with different ages and taste in music but we all agreed that this was a must see. So glad we did this. You'll hear your favorite MJ classics and you'll get to see real footage projected on the screen while the performers do their thing. It was a special treat to see the hologram of MJ performing. So realistic!! The only thing I'd do differently is sit further back. We were in the very front row and got a face full of that stage fog

So I grew up in the 80/90's and Michael Jackson was a huge part of my life! I have wanted to see this show forever and we finally did it and wow! The cast was amazing, super talented everyone was just spot on! People were flying through the air in the audience, Up and down the walls just amazing! The music brought me back to my childhood, it was awesome. Every seat in the theatre is a good one FYI, the way the stage is you can see great at any seat that your in! If you're in Vegas I highly recommend this amazing show!

Finally, got to see, "Michael Jackson "ONE" Cirque du Soleil" show OMG....amzaing show. "Cirque du Soleil" shows are ALWAYS amazing & we always get really good seating, because it's worth the money. Amazing performance. Intense & emotional! Highly recommend. Unfortunately, we don't have much of the show, since we weren't allowed to record. Workers there were on top of their game with checking people out recording & flashing their lights at them. LOL

I was engulfed in the energy, the performance, and the music. I'd like to point out that you will not see/hear all original songs because some songs were remastered. The songs that you hope to see/hear might not be part of the performance. I was really taken aback when Thriller came on. I think we can all agree that whether you are a Michael Jackson fan or not, you know of this song. As a kid I thought that this music video was the scariest thing ever, but sweet memories of my childhood popped in my mind when the song played. It was nostalgic. The performers were athletic, graceful, and kept the integrity of who Michael Jackson was. He was truly one of a kind, a great artist, and I loved and appreciate the moonwalk bit. The audience cheered when we saw it. Get to the venue early. The ushers may ask if you want to sit closer if they did not sell out. We were able to move up a few rows and was in the middle because there were empty seats. Located inside Mandalay Bay.

My husband wanted to see the show for his birthday and we purchased third row seats. Heads up, sitting that close you will be looking up during most of the performance so your neck might ache a bit. No photos were allowed, and it is a spectacular show with gorgeous costumes, talented dancers, and a montage of Michael Jackson photos /videos playing periodically across the stage. There were some disturbing video scenes of malnourished, Third World, children and violence from the 1960s when the song 'They don't care about Us' was played. Also, the cast was not as diverse as one would expect from a MJ show. Hubby was disappointed in the show, but we're glad we saw the show anyway, but won't recommend to family and friends especially at this price point.

This was a good show. My only issue is that we'd just seen U2 at the Sphere the night before and ANYTHING will pale in comparison to that! So it was a little let down. Also I had seen La Nouba in Orlando years before and that was a spectacular show. This one was good, but obviously relied more on music than acrobatics and show.

It was a cool show but not what we expected from a cirque du soliel show. The storyline was confusing, there were really only a few acrobatic acts, a lot of dance numbers, and a ton of times were they were just playing video of Michael with someone singing. We like MJ so enjoyed the show, but were definitely underwhelmed.

On my most recent trip to Las Vegas, I did it big by attending three Cirque du Soleil shows in four nights. Michael Jackson One at Mandalay Bay was one of the trifecta. After grabbing dinner, I made my way to the theater. I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil fan and have seen most of their shows in Vegas along with several shows that have come to Houston. Each Cirque du Soleil show is different. This one, naturally, is heavy on dancing and music. It serves as a nice tribute to the megastar. You'll see video clips of him, dancers doing their best Michael Jackson impersonations, and even a hologram. There's a loose storyline that I wasn't too impressed with but the dancing and music were great. Like other Cirque shows in Vegas, they get on your case for taking pictures and videos. A policy that I don't agree with but you can get away with snapping a few discreetly. Definitely a cool show to check out in Vegas if you're a fan of his music.

The Michael Jackson ONE show at Mandalay Hotel: Amazing! Cirque du Soleil nailed it with jaw-dropping stunts and iconic MJ tunes. We moonwalked out, humming "Billie Jean"! The acrobatics had us on the edge of our seats, and the dance moves? Pure magic. If you love MJ, this show will rock your world.

Michael Jackson One was an enjoyable Cirque show with great music and choreography. I wanted more of the acrobatics that other Cirque shows have but I'd still recommend it, especially if you are a fan of MJ. Nice theater at Mandalay Bay.

The five of us were trying to decide on a show to watch while we were in Vegas. We decided to on a watch a Cirque du Soleil show and were deciding between Beatles Love, KA, O, Mad Apple, Michael Jackson One and Mystere. Since we were Michael Jackson fans, we decided on MJ One. We got tickets through the MGM app for the show, which plays at the Mandalay Bay. Get there early so you can take pictures of show posters, Michael Jackson's pictures, famous jackets and props, such as MJ's famous Smooth Criminal dance pose. There's a gift shop which has a lot of MK souvenirs, records and albums. If you need drinks or snacks for the show, there's a concession stand. The show encompasses cool choreography and visuals with Cirque du Soleil acrobatics to MJ's classical hits like Billie Jean, Beat It, and Smooth Criminal. The show captured the life of Michael Jackson and him humanitarianism and a great entertainer. One act had a hologram of Michael dancing on the stage, which I heard about. It was really amazing. It was an entertaining show and if you're a MJ fan, you'll enjoy it even more.

Great show. We went and enjoyed the high flying action of Cirque magic. If you're MJ fan, you'll enjoy the little Easter eggs throughout the show. Think of it as a musical journey through his albums than a biography of his life. Once we arrived, we got upgraded for free to closer seats. Big MJ fans will go see it more than once and casual fans will think once is enough.

5 stars really doesn't do this performance justice! If I could give it 10 I without a doubt would. I've been to Vegas many times before and always wanted to experience this show but never made it. So, when my friend mentioned that he got us tickets to go I was super excited! This show honestly exceeded all of my expectations. From the visuals to the vocals and everything in between. Be ready for people walking on walls, hanging from the ceiling, choreography coming down the aisles just an all-out complete interactive experience from start to finish. Growing up listening to his music and knowing how many hits MJ has I feel like they selected the right songs and will even take it one step further and say they "set-list" was beautifully crafted. Each song that was performed next was the right song in my opinion. I honestly believe if MJ was still with us today, he would be proud of the show they have put together. Next time you're in Vegas, please make sure you check out this show. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The show is phenomenal, exceeds expectations. The artistry of Michael Jackson enhanced with the presentation of Cirque du Soleil, what could be better? Tickets are pricey, but well worth it. I took a party of eight, ranging from 4 years to 67 years old and EVERYONE was transfixed. As the elder, I grew up with and adored the Jackson 5 and Michael, but this show gave me a greater appreciation for Michael's artistry. I would actually pay to see this show again. Although we had premium seats, all seats in the venue are good. Definitely a life enhancing experience and high highly recommended.

Hubby + I just returned from this poor stepchild to the original MJ One that I saw some years ago. There was nearly nothing about Michael's life 1 song with photo of him as a child. His music was interspersed with like heavy metal music . A very brief nod to his celebrity friends and one number showing what maybe was supposed to be like a scary army of some sort. Bad music except for when they actually played his! A very good female guitarist running around the stage playing but playing which music? I dont think his misic accented leas guitars anyway. Its Cirque de soliel some great choreography. The dancers in the dark wearing lighting was very cool! But overall i couldnt wait for it to end. The volume was needlessly high. I think there was a mix up maybe it was a KISS tribute!

Amazing show! 5/5. High energy, excellent dancers and acrobats! The theater had excellent sound and the seats were roomy and comfortable. We sat on the orchestra section in tow 5 near the left side. Although we were on the side the view was very good and many scenes had actors, acrobats and dancers perform at times from the right or left of the theater so we got to see that extremely close! Fantastic performance! Looking forward to see it again! And yes, I liked it so much that I would like to see it again. The bar had a good selection of drinks for sale and also popcorn and other snacks. They also sold some merchandise.

I love Michael Jackson music and have enjoyed many Cirques du Soleil so the combination seemed like something I would enjoy and I definitely did. Unlike other Cirques I've been to, it was less about telling a story and more about the music. The dancing was amazing. While the Cirque staff was outstanding, there was less acrobatics in this performance and more of a focus on dancing. That said, there was still plenty of amazing athletic performances displaying strength and agility. I so enjoy when the performers come out into the audience and bring their skills up close and personal. The Thriller number was definitely a favorite. Loved it!

This is an amazing show that they do. I quite enjoyed the experience. The highlights of the show for me, were lean that they did collectively as a group during who's bad. I also like the glow-in-the-dark dance that was done with the lights changed colors. I would've love to see more songs applied during the show that were staples or favorites like, do you remember the time? This was not my favorite show that Cirque Du Soleil has done, but I definitely put it in the top tier of shows. I hope that you enjoy the experience.

SOOO GOOD!!! If you grew up listening to MJ music then get ready to clap your hands, tap your feet and move around in your seat. The stage is HUGE, I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. If you sit further your able to see everything that is going on. There is different things going on at once. The costumes, dancers, lights, background drop was amazing! Growing up and being afraid of MJ thriller music video and they recreated it, it was spot on and very enjoyable to watch. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! If your looking for a good show to watch in Vegas, i would suggest MJ One. Located inside the Mandalay bay hotel.

The show is fun and its full of dancing to the backdrop of Michael Jackson visuals and music, but the storyline was confusing and the sound was TOO loud! It was kind of jarring and my son had to plug his ears. So bring ear plugs! There was so much going on that it was hard to focus on any one thing. It's not an acrobatic type cirque show if that's what you're looking for, but it's hard not to be entertained to Michael Jackson!

Can't go wrong with a Vegas show featuring the iconic MJ. Almost anyone, young and old, knows at least a song or five of his. Seeing his sounds come to life on stage with acrobatics, pyrotechnics, and a bit of story will was a good fun time. Of course I know the hits: Bad, Billie Jean, Don't Stop, etc... but watching this show reminded me that between the hits, MJ had amazing songs that didn't get as many plays. Cirque does a great job utilizing these songs as they take you on a journey of large scale exciting performances and then some smaller slower emotional sounds. Throughout the show, I was anticipating the hits. When I heard the eerie sound along with the crescendo beat that built up to Thriller, that was it! So cool to see Cirque pull of the Thriller dance in the way they did. That was probably my favorite part of the show. On the other side, I was looking forward to Rock With You, but I don't remember it being played :( Still a very good time and would love to enjoy it a second time.

Great show! I truly enjoyed it although like what most others mentioned this isn't your typical cirque du soleil show because there was not a lot of acrobats, and the show primarily consisted of a lot of performers/dancers dancing to MJ songs, which just hearing his music and seeing his image on the big video screen was satisfying, although they did not perform a lot of his songs, but a few of his classics, and some new ones that I hadn't heard it so long, like Stranger in Moscow, such a beautiful song with such a deep meaning, but the highlight of the show was when MJ Hologram appeared and he performed Man in the Mirror like he was actually there. That was enough for me! It was amazing and he looked so real and present as the dancers danced in sync with him. Technology is so amazing! The special effects just was overall amazing, like when they danced in LED lights and fell from the sky all lit up. Definitely a show that will keep you entertained for the full 1.5 hours and this is why I deducted a star. For $150 a ticket the show is way too short. This show should be a minimum of 2 hours. I also don't like the fact of how the ushers make a big deal out of you recording, like come on people if I'm paying all this money for a ticket why can't I record a memory or take a picture of the performance? What do they think people are going to do bootleg the entire performance? Probably not, most people just want the highlight and that's the Hologram of MJ, which is when it's an issue. They don't even bother you when it's just the dancers performing, but as soon as MJ Hologram come on stage here they come telling you that you cannot record, anywho I told them I was getting me a little memory of the performance for all the money I paid. All in all, great show and I highly recommend it if you're in town.

To be honest, I thought I'd enjoy this show more. After watching O and being amazed during the whole show, I thought I'd have the same feeling with this one which it didn't happen. The ending was the best and the only part that got me impressed. I'd choose a different show especially if it was my first Cirque du Soleil show.

We had the opportunity to watch the Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE show at the Mandalay Bay Resort, and were blown away by the spectacular performance. The show is a tribute to the King of Pop, featuring his most iconic songs and imagery, reimagined with stunning acrobatics, dance, and visuals. The show is a feast for the eyes and ears, with state-of-the-art surround sound that makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action. The performers are incredibly talented and energetic, executing amazing feats of acrobatics, aerials, martial arts, and dance. The choreography is faithful to Michael Jackson's style, but also adds a creative twist that showcases the Cirque du Soleil's signature flair. The costumes and props are colorful and inventive, capturing the essence of Michael Jackson's personality and legacy. The show also features some special effects that enhance the experience, such as holograms, projections of Michael, pyrotechnics, and incredible acrobatics. The show is a celebration of Michael Jackson's life and music, and a tribute to his fans. It is a must-see for anyone who loves his songs and wants to relive his magic. It is also a great introduction for those who are not familiar with his work, as it showcases his versatility and influence on pop culture. The show is suitable for all ages, as it has something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend this show to anyone who is looking for a thrilling and memorable night in Las Vegas. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I would love to see it again. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that honors the legend of Michael Jackson.

wow, i can't believe the show has been around for this long and we haven't seen it! i loved the show and obviously the music! i love how the acrobatics stayed true to the cirque du soleil brand with the added choreography and dances. what i loved most about the show were the costumes, projections, and aerial technology used. it's a wonderful combination of all the cirque shows we've watched, paying homage to the late mj. the theater can use a generous makeover. you can tell the show's been around a while :( but it didn't take away from the show. highly recommend :)

I've wanted to see this production by Cirque du Soleil for years as I've always walked past it every time I've stayed at The Delano. I was finally able to fit it into my schedule in August and purchased a seat in Section 102, row H. I thought this would be perfect; almost. Due to the aerial performers, it helps if you are seated further back or you'll be looking up (and getting a neck ache). Anyway, I had a great view of the stage. If you've seen other Cirque du Soleil productions, you will be familiar with the format. There is always a comedic element ... a trio starts interrupting the show but they're part of the act. There are acrobats, trampoline acts and dancers ... all set to the music of Michael Jackson. There's even an actor that does a decent impression of MJ; he has the dance moves down. I was surprised that the audience didn't appreciate the artistry and skill required to pull off some of the acrobatic pieces ... I suppose if you make it look too effortless, they think it's easy. It's not. Kudos to the performers and their consummate skills. What did I like best? The laser light image of MJ dancing along with the cast. That was ethereal and it was almost like Michael came down from heaven to dance. What did I like least? There were sections of the show that got a little too sociopolitical for me ... I understand why but I would have preferred if the show just focused on his music. My ticket cost more than $240 ... Was it worth it? I have mixed feelings. I enjoyed Mystere and O more than Michael Jackson One. If you come for the music, you won't be disappointed. Other Cirque du Soleil productions offer more spectacle.

Hands down my favorite cirque du soleil show, and let be clear, I've seen every single show they've made. Even the original 80's show they did that you can only find on the internet. For the ppl who knew about MJ or those who didn't know about MJ , this is for you. Matter a fact this for everyone. Make sure you see this before you can't see it. Brotha S approved

I was so disappointed in this show. First, the sound is extremely loud and I had to cover my ears for the entire 1.5 hour show. I think it's dangerously loud and could really cause long term hearing loss. Second, the storyline didn't make sense and to be honest, I'm not sure there was one. Third, it wasn't much of a Cirque performance. Quite a disappointed. That said, the songs are terrific.

Wow It was spectacular and amazing. I have been a fan for a long time and the ambiance was very good excellent. They had pieces of Michael's real clothes and it took you on an adventure. Overall would come back.

This was the last Cirque du soleil show in Vegas I want to see. Saw 5 other, all great. I saw this 3 weeks ago at Mandalay Bay. 4 stars almost perfect. 90 minutes of pure MJ hits. There are fans from everywhere. My seat got upgraded to the fifth row. It's a very inspiring, uplifting Cirque show. Music 5 stars. Volume too loud. They're very strict with video photography. But yes, I recommend it if you love Michael Jackson music.

I'm one who is not easily impressed. Most shows that pay tribute to artists don't have the energy or creativity to capture the artist. That's why when I tell you "Michael Jackson One Concert" was incredible, take my word, you can take it to the bank. The concert itself is in Mandalay Bay Casino. You can go to the front desk or the concierge to purchase a ticket. They're a bit pricey but being at the hotel gets you a discount. They had two shows, a seven o'clock and an 9 o'clock, of course I always take the first show. So later in the day I made my way there. The line was already being let into the arena. You pay for your seating so I didn't feel rushed. I was seated in the front. Before you know it, the show started. Sorry no pictures at that point. But I don't need pictures to paint one for you. The show was everything positive and more. The performers and crew did a amazing job. They captured an actual message and used Michael Jackson's music to deliver it. It worked so well. Micheal Jackson's music is timeless and will last longer than any pop artist today. I was so happy to see so many parents bringing their children to the show. This will make the new fans in the future. I don't want to talk too much about the show because I don't want to ruin the magic. All I can say is that it's worth seeing, bring your kids, and prepare to take a trip down memory lane. Side note, there are a few things that came off a little inappropriate for children, but not enough to avoid the show. And remember "Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie?"

This show is so strange and not in the good way you've come to expect from Cirque du Soleil. I've been to a number of Cirque du Soleil's before and this one just seems so off brand. The storyline is odd, hard to follow and just outright lame. I do have to say that a couple of the actors gave faceeeee for days. They were so animated and loved watching them. But I couldn't understand what the heck was going on with the children. Or much else in the Peter Pan-esque show. The set isn't very 'Cirque'-like, pretty basic. There was so much dancing, not coordinated well with not overly exciting choreography. I love dance but not when the performers are not in sync. It was also missing the cirque performers doing actual circus like things. There was someone on ropes which was dope, but that was it. My friend and I left confused as heck and I would definitely not recommend others to this show. Really disappointed in the performances and show as a whole. See one of the million other performances in Vegas if dancing is your thing.

Who's BAD? The people responsible for Cirque MJ One! I was so looking forward to this show. I grew up loving Michael Jackson's music, and still do. Despite his problems, he was a phenomenal talent and entertainer. And the other Cirque shows I've seen blew me away! Sadly, I found the MJ One show completely disappointing. How can the joining of two such amazing forces be such a complete letdown? I would've walked out early except that would've hurt my husband's feelings. First, the show made no sense. The various elements felt chaotic and disjointed. Most parts seemed totally irrelevant to MJ music and the rest of the show: Futuristic caped characters and their transporter-looking vehicle, all with lots of silly red lights. Four kids wandering around the stage looking confused. A punk guitarist. A rope dancer dressed like she just walked out of Satan's Strip Club. And a woman reminiscent of a pagan moon goddess floating above the audience. Sophmoric. Don't get me wrong...there were some good parts. But they were overshadowed by my mind constantly asking, "Is this really the best they could come up with???" Then there was the moral preening that seems to be obligatory for all entertainment nowadays. Please spare your audience the lecturing; it's not edgy, it's just annoying. We don't pay to get preached at! Yeah, yeah, we know...you're a lot better than us. UGH Perhaps worst of all was the music that was selected. Michael didn't get popular because of his later work, and there was too much of that in the show. My recommendation: don't waste your money. If you do, don't say you weren't warned.

The show was amazing but I have one complaint-- the sound was too loud! It was uncomfortable to the point where I watched the show covering my ears. Thank goodness for the seating attendant who noticed me and supplied earplugs! My boyfriend also felt the sound was too loud and used earplugs as well, although his mother thought the sound level was fine. Other than that, the show was awesome!

10/8/22: I'm visiting Las Vegas for the first time & wanted to see at least one Cirque du Soleil show. So, I chose MJ One because I love his music and knew it had to be a great show. The tickets were over $300 for 2 people & we were in the 2nd row on the left side of the stage. Next time, I will pick less expensive seats. The storyline didn't quite make sense to me because the scenes were all over the place. It started with them touching his glove when they weren't supposed to & then the bad guys chasing these 4 people all over the place through song. But the way it was done threw me for a loop. Don't get me wrong, I still loved the show. They had acrobatics, but it was a lot of just dancing. There were people moonwalking up the side of the theatre's walls at times, people flying over our heads, etc. There was so much going on that I didn't know where to look at times. Lol. They did have a concession stand with alcohol, regular drinks, candy, and popcorn. The prices were ASTRONOMICAL though. Somehow I paid $27 for a large blue raspberry slush (the cup was tiny), popcorn, and Reese's peanut butter cups. Sneak a snack in if you can because they didn't check my purse. (Hint, hint) Lol. I'd recommend it if you love MJ's music. I wasn't disappointed except for how the story was going at times. I danced in my seat the entire time.

This is a great show for anyone who is an MJ fan! They have such a great tribute to him through this show. Don't sit near the front, you will miss a lot. Sit toward the mid section and back. Enjoy the show!

DO NOT GO. Terrible production. If you are looking for a cirque show this one isn't for you. Three flyers in the whole show. Huge waste of money

If you grew up loving MJ's music... this is the show for you. My dad didn't even like his music growing up and appreciated the stunts. I don't get the hate for this show. We went for my mom's 60th and she was dancing and jamming out. We seat In the upper rows and we could still see. It's one of those theaters where you really can't get a bad seat. However, I will say that I wish I had a closer view to see some of the stunts close up in detail and how they are done. That will be for next time. TIP: The reviews show a lot of people confused with the overall story of the show. I actually read the program before It started. So it was easy to understand the overall story as it was happening.

Great light show and performances. The only gripe I had was they cut up all the songs and did not play them in their entirety. Plus there was a sprinkling of politics and subliminal "messages" in the presentation. Other then those two concerns I thought it was pretty good.

I hate to be that person, but I really feel like I need to get this off my chest! The show itself is a 5 stars for me! The performers, the music, choreography, lights, acrobatics were amazing and I loved every second of it! However I did have to drop a star because of a particular incident and would probably even give it 3 stars, but I don't really want to affect the ratings of the show itself or peoples decision to see the show, so I'm giving it 4. Now this is my 3rd time seeing this show, twice last year in April and for the third time this year (last night). I have never had a problem with the ushers or being told not to photograph during the show because I know the rules and will always follow theater/show rules (especially being a previous performer myself). But this 3rd time that I went was the first time I had an usher (I didn't see her name) come up to me (mid show) and tell me not to photograph or video during the show. I politely told the usher that I was not recording and she told me "it's ok". She said that in a tone where she was trying to get me to "fess up" or admit something that I didn't do. Now I am the first one to take accountability and apologize when I do something wrong, but the thing is I didn't even have my phone out. My phone was tucked deep into my bag and I hadn't pulled it out since the beginning of the show (which was the only time I had my phone out while in the theater) as soon as the show started I put my phone away. I tried to explain to her, but she walked away before I could. Now I would understand if my phone was out or I was texting and it may have looked like I was recording, but my phone wasn't even out. The only thing I was doing before she walked up to me was clapping right after the end of one of the numbers. I do have a ring on my finger so I don't know if maybe the flashing lights from the show was reflecting off of my ring and made it look like a flash from a phone (the number that had the most flashing bright lights just finished btw), but regardless, if she didn't actually SEE a phone or see me use it she shouldn't have come up to me. Or maybe she even saw someone in front of me or behind me record, but because of all of the commotion of the show she (for whatever reason) assumed it was me. I'm really trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I couldn't even really enjoy the rest of the show because of how frustrated that made me and also feeling like I was being monitored after that. I just don't like being pinned as a liar when I wasn't lying. Sorry this was so long, but I had randomly and very last minute decided to see this show again on the last day of my trip to Vegas and that was not really a good note to end off on. I just think that the ushers need to actually see a phone or something because that's not ok to just come up to somebody, it ruins the whole experience. It's already bad enough that they have to escort people that are 20-30 minutes late to their seats which already takes away from the experience, but to be accused is a whole other nuisance. I still recommend everyone see this show because I love MJ and this is one of my favorite shows, everything was amazing! I would even see it a 4th time even after this incident, I probably wouldn't chose the aisle seat again since that's where I sat this time (you can see my view in the pic of this review which is one of the very few pics I took at all in the theater, all pre-show btw)
