Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil

This show is absolutely phenomenal! It was my second time seeing it, and it was even more incredible—they added new elements to the performance. This time, I also did the VIP Experience to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and it made the night even more special. Hands down, this is my favorite Cirque du Soleil show!

Everyone I spoke to about the 1.5 hour long “Michael Jackson One” show said it was awesome. I rolled my eyes, sighed and called it a day. I’m so glad my spouse got us tickets without my consent! And, in the third row no less. EXPERIENCE: Located in the Mandalay Bay, we had cocktails prior to the show at nearby House of Blues. Being Las Vegas, we got drinks to go and brought them into the show (no glass allowed). There is a bar inside the theater as well. The theater isn’t large, so the show felt almost intimate. The performance began with cast dressed as paparazzi, coming up to a few guests in the audience snapping pretend photos and asking interview-like questions to get the excitement started. There is no Michael Jackson impersonator, thankfully. Instead, cast members dance and perform acrobatics to his music. One dancer in particular showed off impressive moonwalking skills and several others nailing the anti-gravity lean. At the end, you do see the king of pop for a moment in the form of an eerily realistic but tastefully executed hologram. OVERALL: Highly recommended! And this is coming from someone who is tired of Cirque acrobatic shows in Vegas.

Amazing show! And so many talents there! It was very entertaining. Great artists and great performance I would highly recommend it if you are in Vegas.

This was the absolute best live show I have ever attended. Absolutely incredible! Phenomenal! So underrated compared to the other larger shows. It was just FUN! I loved every minute of it, including the paparazzi who surprised me at my seat and the tabloids on the screens were funny. What a wonderful experience!

I recently attended the Cirque du Soleil show at Mandalay Bay, and it was an absolutely captivating 90-minute experience. The smaller auditorium provided an intimate setting, ensuring every seat offered a great view of the incredible performances. The show seamlessly blended stunning acrobatics with dazzling special effects, creating a visual feast that kept me enthralled from start to finish. The performers were not only highly skilled but also engaging, with the show incorporating interactive elements that made the audience feel like a part of the magic. The pacing was perfect, and every act brought something unique—whether it was breathtaking stunts, moments of humor, or the sheer artistry of movement. I rate Mystere over it.

Phenomenal show! The sets, music, acoustics, performances, diversity of dancers,etc. were exceptional! The staff (ticket staff, attendants helping you to your seats, gift shop) were very customer service oriented. This is a show I would not hesitate to see again!

Ok- you go because you love his music. The performers, while entertaining, are the B team of Cirque performers. I’ve seen all the Vegas Cirque shows and as far as the acts go, this is sub par. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it! But it was because I was dancing from my seat the entire time. If you are looking for a true Cirque show, see O or Ka or any of the other ones. It’s like going to AAA baseball or G league basketball. Fun but you’re not seeing the pros.

As a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music, this was one of the most amazing shows I've EVER seen!! It was everything and more than I expected!! I think even someone who is not an ardent lover of Michael's music would still be blown away by the theatrics of this show!!! I can't rave about it enough!!
