On Michael’s 55th Birthday, Cirque Du Soleil’s performance of ‘Michael Jackson ONE’ in Las Vegas was a very special occasion for many of MJ’s Fans. Read an account of this amazing performance from one of Michael Jackson ONE’s fans – Betty Byrnes – from her Blog: Michael’s Heart.
MJ One is an experience like no other; just as Michael Jackson was an entertainer like no other. Where Immortal started the rolling wave of excellence to honor Michael Jackson and his legacy which has traveled around the world… MJ One catapults it to a whole new dimension. I’ve heard it said Immortal was like the MJ ice cream and cake and MJ One is like a super sized serving with sprinkles, whip cream and cherry on top. There is no way I could ever explain or break down this show song by song. Nor would I want to as it’s simply an adventure that truly needs to be experienced personally.
Every time I’ve attended, which is four times now, I’ve seen and experienced something new from different areas of the theater. As with all Cirque Shows it is changing, evolving as a living thing, creatively growing each time. This fact is so reassuring to me as a huge MJ fan because we all know Michael was a perfectionist. The fact that Cirque du Soleil continues to listen, digest their own creation and change it for the better on a continual basis gives credence to the fact that they highly respect the genius of Michael Jackson and his artistry.?? When the fans were asked to attend the show and write a review I was absolutely thrilled and honored. Having already purchased a ticket for the MJ One early show and MJ pre-party birthday celebration in Vegas I now would also be attending the very special second show.
I had two tickets for the second show and for me it was imperative I needed to invite someone special. I prayed knowing that God had someone in mind for that assignment. I felt it needed to be someone who had not seen the show yet… so they could share this first experience. I wanted to watch the expression on their face as MJ One touched their senses for the first time. I really had no idea what God had in store. I waited for weeks to ask someone and then the doors opened and I knew who would be my special guest… Michael Kiss (MK). A very long time fan of Michael Jackson’s, also an MJ impersonator who is performing in Vegas at the V Theater, a member of the Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California (MJFSC) Face Book group and more importantly a friend. He happily felt very blessed to attend the second show with me.
