Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil Tickets

Michael Jackson ONE is Cirque du Soleil's love letter to the King of Pop, staged in a purpose-built theatre at Mandalay Bay. Rather than a straight biography, the show threads more than two dozen of Jackson's tracks through a loose story about four misfits who discover his spirit of creativity — every number an excuse for breathtaking choreography, aerial work and illusion.

What sets it apart is the sound: the score is mixed in panoramic surround, so the bass lands in your chest while dancers recreate the moonwalk and the Smooth Criminal lean. At 90 minutes with no interval it moves fast and suits ages 5 and up, making it one of the easiest Cirque shows to bring the whole family to. Arrive early for the pre-show and aim for seats toward the centre for the fullest surround effect.
