| - ONE fantastic show!
REMEMBER THE TIME: I've been fan of Michael Jackson since my youth. I can vividly recall listening to his "Thriller", "Bad", and "Dangerous" albums. When the opportunity arose to see this production in Las Vegas, I knew I couldn't pass up this chance. Many thanks to fellow Yelper Rod U. for procuring the awesome seats.
ROCK WITH YOU: This production is in residence at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. If you've never been to a Cirque show, be not afraid as the staff are well organized in guiding guests to their seats and/or helping them find their way around the theatre.
BLACK OR WHITE: One noticeable aspect of this show are the costumes. The staff meet, greet, and photograph guests in eye-catching red trench coats, black fedora, and sunglasses. The clothing worn by the performers are a true ode to the King of Pop, especially the talented young man who is show cased during breaks in the performance. Costumes are black, white, colorful, whimsical, and "bright" to say the least.
HUMAN NATURE: It's difficult not to get engrossed with the show and sing along to the music of MJ. All his hit songs are showcased during the 90 minute production, and by the end, I was one of many who were clapping and singing along to the tunes.
THRILLER: Being a Cirque du Soleil production, the performers definitely add their touch of acrobatics and thrills to the show, but not overly done as to outshine the music. Although there is a Cirque "touch", there is also a lot of choreography involved, especially many group numbers/dances. As mentioned earlier, the young man who mirrors many of Michael Jackson's signature dance moves was a definite highlight. His moon walk was extraordinary indeed.
THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL: This was my favorite part of the show! It was just immense fun!
YOU ROCK MY WORLD: An amazing, amazing show!! Highly recommended. By the end you will be dancing in your seats surely.
