Captivating Audiences for a Decade
Among the countless thrills found on the Las Vegas Strip, few shows have captured the imagination and captivated audiences quite like “Michael Jackson ONE” by Cirque du Soleil. Over the span of 10 years and more than 4,000 performances, this tribute show has firmly established itself as a staple of Las Vegas entertainment. Debuting at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on June 29, 2013, “MJ ONE” had the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Cirque du Soleil’s long-running favorites, Mystère and “O”. The pressure to build on that legacy was felt by everyone on the MJ ONE creation team.
“It seemed unattainable,” reflects Igor Zambelli, a slackline artist who has been with the show since its inception. “Now looking back, we’ve really come a long way to create this history for ourselves. We’re a part of continuing the legacy of Michael Jackson and the amazing history of Cirque in Las Vegas.”
A Show that Transcends Borders
Today, “Michael Jackson ONE” draws visitors from around the world, with performances taking place five nights a week. It has rightfully earned its place as one of the best-selling shows in Las Vegas. The dedication to craftsmanship that defined Michael Jackson’s career can be seen in every aspect of the production. From monumental songs and dance routines to groundbreaking music videos, MJ ONE not only pays homage to the King of Pop but also celebrates his undeniable influence on the world of fashion.
An Ode to Iconic Costumes
“The costumes are so iconic,” says Wardrobe Supervisor Veronica Vazquez. “You expect that when you see a Michael Jackson show. You can’t do ‘Smooth Criminal’ without seeing an element of that pinstripe suit.”
Indeed, every outfit in “Michael Jackson ONE” is painstakingly designed to pay homage to the King of Pop’s sense of style. Each thread of the wardrobe, from the crystal-embellished glove to the fedora and rhinestone white socks, embodies the timeless fashion statements for which Michael Jackson was renowned. The attention to detail, amplified by the cast, crew, and creators of MJ ONE, truly brings the show to life.
A Legacy that Endures
Now in its 10th year, “Michael Jackson ONE” stands as a testament to the dynamic collaboration between the music and legacy of Michael Jackson and the extraordinary production and acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil. Combining acrobatics, dance, and mesmerizing visuals, the show embodies the showmanship and artistry that defined the King of Pop’s performances. It continues to astound and inspire visitors from all corners of the globe, ensuring that Michael Jackson’s influential spirit will forever be celebrated in Las Vegas.
