Let me start off this review with a huge caveat: I am a huge MJ fan, and my expectations are probably way higher than they should be for this show, or anything with Michael Jackson's name.
The show was just OK in my opinion. I understood and appreciated all of the imagery (tabloid junkies, the misfit children etc) but I just did not think the show lived up to the hype. The hologram was just OK as well (Man in the Mirror). It was not the second coming of MJ, as vehemently described by some people. Perhaps the hologram effect was dulled by the fact that I was sitting off center from the stage. Overall, an OK experience. I feel like I just watched an extended version of "Michael Jackson: Moonwalker" with tons of LEDs and acrobatics. Some good parts of the show were "The Billie Jeans" (LED dancers) and the Thriller act. I could have done without the hat juggling and the the "magic trunk" act, although the contortion dancing was excellent during "Human Nature". I would've simply preferred an updated anthology without the "storyline". This show is nowhere near the best show on the strip.
Overall, very underwhelming.
