Michael Jackson: One is the second Michael Jackson-based production by Cirque du Soleil, after Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.
Like The Immortal World Tour, the production was written and directed by Jamie King,[1] but only uses prerecorded tracks, with no live orchestra. One evokes the entertainer's artistic style in several ways and is the most dance-driven Cirque du Soleil show.
It was announced to the public and media on February 21, 2013,[2][3] began previews on May 23, 2013, and held its official world premiere on June 29, 2013, at the Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Marketing efforts in 2013 included the release of "sneak peek" videos of several production numbers, including "2 Bad", "Stranger in Moscow", "Bad", and "Smooth Criminal" .Michael Jackson One has grossed over $500 million as of 2021, with 5 million tickets sold by 2023, making it one of the successful Cirque du Soleil productions of all time.
