Incredible dancing is what you're coming to see at the Michael Jackson One Cirque du Soleil... & this is so fitting, given MJs unsurpassed dancing skills
The acrobatics are mainly of the pole dancing, trampoline variety but there was an opening act of people twirling around a high bar that we'd almost missed since it was so high up on stage.....
This brings me to seating. You want to probably be seated in the lower 200 sections. Even in the high 100s, where we were, I felt like we still missed part of the show as the performers were all over the theater
Storyline centered around a group of 4 "kids" who each come into a piece of MJ's magic ( read: glove, shoes, hat, sunglasses ) and afterwhich, they have magical powers to vanquish the "evil" gangs / zombies / whatnot
Music was WAY LOUD so bring your earplugs but you'll quickly forgive once the dancers come on stage - they were absolutely incredible & the bit w/ the hologram of MJ dancing along w/ them was phenomenal
So this is nothing like any Cirque you'll see & there are definitely no death-defying feats of acrobatics but if you enjoy well-choreographed music as interpreted by accomplished dancers, with outstanding technical wizardry, you'll love Michael Jackson One
