Some of it was quite good -- the entire audience actually gets snowed on in one set for one thing. But much of it is mediocre and jaded. Adding trampoline acts to Thriller made it worse, not better. All in all, not bad, but not my favorite show in Las Vegas, and not cheap.

Let me start by saying I enjoy Michael Jackson songs and I didn't mind hearing all the music even though it was VERY loud (concert level loud) however, I thought with this being a Cirque show it would have some Cirque-type stunts but it was just singing and dancing. The only part I truly enjoyed was the hologram type projection of Michael in one scene. It was like watching a ghost sing and dance. Other than that it was just ok. I would never want to see this again. And for what it was (not really a Cirque quality show) it was very overpriced.

Second favorite cirque show now (just hard to beat Love). We wanted to try a different show and we both really enjoyed this. While I may not be the biggest Michael fan I did grow up with his music and always enjoyed it. After hearing all his hits in thia show I have even more respect for the talent that was MJ. The show itself was great. The lights, screens and of course the dancers. Mostly dance and not as much acrobatic performances. Not really a negative as this is what we expected. The talent was top notch. I didn't really follow any storyline but I am sure there was one. Nothing bad at all to say. Would recommend this show.

The show was awesome!!!!! The music was fabulous and there was a lot of dance. It was truly enjoyable for all ages. The lights might be a bit much for some. My husband felt there wasn’t enough “Cirque du soleil” And too much dancing but I loved it!

As a Michael Jackson fan I loved the song choices and how they used them to connect to a story line, and I really believe he would have been proud of how it represents part of his legacy. I paid extra for the "golden circle" seats and felt like it was worth every penny. At certain points the performers were right next to me and even right over my head! I plan to see it again especially because I was crying so much near the end that I probably missed some details. I've seen other Cirque shows and this is definitely different in a good way, and I was very happy with it. More dancing than acrobatics, however you still see that the talent if Cirque performers is next level elite! You definitely feel like you're at a rock concert, so if you think live concerts are too loud, then yes, you'll complain about the volume here. I left the theater dancing, feeling nostalgic, and in an uplifted and inspired mood!

The music volume was SO LOUD they give away foam earplugs at the entrance which is the first warning. I only recognized 50% of the songs but the music was excellent. Would go once; that is enough though.

A very poorly executed story line which opens and leaves you in the dark and lost as to what is happening. I was expecting something all Michael jackson. Something truly exceptional. Instead I saw 3-4 great and amazing acts that connected to Michael. I feel that he would be deeply saddened by his name being attached to this. The show opens with this bunch of children being followed by Photographer's. Then there are two obscure songs weak weak and the you see the young Michael by act 4-5. I was lost completely. Then there was the a scene of Neverland ranch gates, where of all things Michael said. They play a clip of him talking about children. How rude and insensitive can they be? It was just like watching the HBO documentary that dealt with the pedophile allegations. I was literally in shock. They should have steered clear of those remarks pairing them with the gates. Then this machine that shoots out pyrotechnics that is basically identical to the Pepsi commercial where the same machine exploded too soon and burnt Michael’s scalp causing pain, traumas and pain pill addiction. I can’t imagine Janet or his mom approving this mess I felt it was such an embarrassment. I learned after the show that the four children were chasing his glove, hat and other items as if they were his magic which is nothing farther from the truth. The thriller scene had incredible trampoline action and a scene where they all wore lights on black bodies. There was a dancer with one leg who honestly was amazing. There was also an amazing hologram of him signing. Overall the highlights were seeing his images which one can see more of snd better on any you tube video. The dancers are all acrobats and give great performances but the acts and story or lack thereof leaves one baffled and wondering what any of it had to do with his life snd his genius. Also it was crazy all the cast was mainly skinny white, aíslan and Latino children with only 4-5 black dancers. I feel the mix could have been more well thought out and also found the extremely young age of the cast unappealing. The average age felt so very young. It is seldom that I see something so sadly ruining if the person it was designed to celebrate. RIP dear MJ. Try Ru Paul’s Drag race I’m sure it is more authentic.

Best tribute concert to Michael Jackson that I have seen. The performances are excellent and the musical choices are perfect.

My SO and I are big MJ fans and paid a lot (even for seats way in the back) for this show. I’ve seen other Cirque shows and this is by far the worst. It doesn’t even seem like a Cirque show. There wasn’t much in the way of creativity or stunts. Add to that an incoherent narrative and storyline that doesn’t make sense. The lights and fog machine could only do so much. Best part was all MJ’s hits being played super loud. Not worth the money and disappointing for Cirque’s reputation.

According to other reviewers, this show has changed post-Covid. I've seen nearly 70 Vegas shows and a ton of concerts and this show was garbage. Last night 10/16/2022, my husband and I finally went to see Michael Jackson One at Mandalay Bay. We were in section 202, row MM. We were fairly high up but could still see. Show makes zero sense. There is no storyline, it's a convoluted mess that has nothing to do with Michael Jackson. The story could have been about Neverland, or delved into the world of Thriller or even Bad. Nope. Instead we had robot Anubis-looking characters, a pole dancer in bondage wear, a guy in a treasure chest coffin, bizarre tabloids as a backdrop, a creepy moon deity and some sort of alien rockstar? It made no sense. Not sure what was even Cirque about this production other than the trampoline scene, which was so forgettable I couldn't remember what song it was paired with - and I left the show not even 8 hours ago. It wasn't anything to write home about. I did like the part where they had neon illuminated suits like the dancers at iLuminate at The Strat, but iLuminate has better costumes and a better MJ dance. How does Cirque knockoff a cheaper show and still have a worse version of their costumes? The songs they chose to showcase didn't have a cohesive them, and many favorites were left out in favor of some of his more obscure songs, such as his 1995 song "Stop pressuring me" with Janet Jackson. The theater was so cold and the air was turned up so high it felt windy. I had goosebumps in a short sleeved dress. The woman next to me put her arms into her shirt to try to stay warm. I heard other people as we walked out complaining about how cold it was. Show was boring and I kept looking at my watch hoping it was time to go home soon. This show was either changed extensively after Covid to the point it should be renamed and have a new Yelp listing, or people have no discernment or taste and will give anything 5 stars if MJ's name is on it.

I really enjoyed this show. The combination of video, dance, lights, and the hologram at the end made for a fun show! The Thriller and Billie Jean performances were extra cool. I would go again!

Just an all around good time, feel good show! Lots of energy. Energetic audience. Lots of dance with some acrobatic acts.

Um... not what I was looking for. Let me start by saying that I love Cirque du Soleil, and MJ, so I figured if you put them together, that would be pretty awesome... right? Oddy I felt like this show fell flat. The "clowns" I normaly love in these types of shows that help tell the story and move the show forward felt far less compelling than I have come to expect from this company, and the Cirque acts felt underwhelming. Of course the music is mostly original MJ recordings so they are amazing, but the rest just felt a little gimmicky. Could have been transcendent and in the end fell short.

Loved everything about this show from the showroom (completely renovated) with large, comfortable seats to the show itself. Did a great job incorporating Michael's music with the signature Cirque athleticism!

Show was excellent Full of surprises.Very talented performers. Michael Jackson would be proud of this show
