Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson ONE

Michael Jackson ONE is a Cirque du Soleil production in Las Vegas, where several of the company's shows draw more than 9,000 people a night. In keeping with the troupe's style, the production relies on theatrical, character-driven staging rather than performing animals — an approach that helped define contemporary circus.

The company's roots go back to a Quebec stilt-walking troupe, and it has since grown into a global producer with shows in over 300 cities. That heritage shapes a visually ambitious experience built around narrative stagecraft and physical performance.
