| - I'm telling you right now everyone needs to see this show!
Doesn't matter if you're a fan of Michael or not. If you are a Cirque fanatic or this is your first time. Heck, as long as you still have a pulse, get your butt there!
Now I am a little biased because yes, I am a Michael fan and this was only my 3rd Cirque show, aside from Zumanity and Immortal. If you have seen Immortal, immediately wipe that from your mind, because MJONE is nothing like it. While Immortal is more like a concert, MJONE is a story: four misfits navigate their way through a wondrous world with Michael's music and message as the guide.
I won't give much away but there was definitely some highlights: Billie Jean with guys in light up suits, Dirty Diana and one naughty dancer, and Man In the Mirror brought the house down. Brilliant.
The show does what I thought was impossible: interpret Michael's music into something so glorious, so wonderful, that it is out of this world. By the time the show ended, everyone was out of their seats and dancing! The man next to me who was in a wheelchair took every once of strength he had to give a standing ovation. Another woman was crying saying this is the most fun she's ever had. People left the show singing his songs and smiles on their faces. And at the end of the day isn't that what it's all about?
