Since the 1980s, the Cirque du Soleil troupe has fascinated audiences with its juggling, dancing, fire breathing, and musical talents. Originally, the founder, Gilles Ste-Croix, named the group Les Echassiers (stiltwalkers) de Baie-Saint-Paul, a small village near Quebec City. As the group of street performers grew, the shows became more eclectic and magical. And when one of the members, Guy Laliberté, decided to take the show on the road, the audience grew, encouraging promoters to book the crew for their revolutionary performances. In 1987, the Cirque du Soleil launched its
We Reinvent the Circus
tour in the US, setting the tone for the modern circus. Detailed sets and raw talent and without animals became the template for all the exciting live shows that followed.
Today, the Cirque du Soleil puts on full-scale productions all over the world, including Europe, Asia and South America. The success of the 1993
Mystère
, Cirque's longest-running show, led to a permanent residency in Las Vegas. Since then, the performance troupe has invited audiences to go back in time (
Alegria
, 1994-2013) and escape to the mystical world of make-believe (
La Nouba
, 1998-2017) [4]. One of its most popular draws,
Michael Jackson ONE
, combines the acrobatic and theatrical flair the Cirque du Soleil is known for, along with the musical and dance stylings that made Jackson the King of Pop. Cirque du Soleil debuted
Michael Jackson ONE
at the Mandalay Bay Resort in June 2013 with the help of Jamie King, creative director and choreographer, who danced alongside Michael on the Dangerous tour. To this day, the venue continues to attract large audiences. During
Michael Jackson ONE
, you'll follow Smarty Pants, Sneaky, Clumsy, and Shy on an adventure as they get sucked into the vortex of fears and anxieties. With the help of Michael's iconic sunglasses, white socks, black shoes, a white glove and a black hat, the crew emulates Michael's signature moves. Watch performers do the moonwalk and the anti-gravity lean as they overcome obstacles while grooving to some of Michael's most popular tunes.
