It was announced to the public and media on February 21, 2013.[1][2] In their continuing partnership with the Jackson estate, One evokes the entertainer’s artistic style in several manners. The new production began previews on May 23, 2013 and the official world premiere was June 29, 2013 at the Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Like The Immortal World Tour, this production was also written and directed by Jamie King.[3] “Sneak peek” videos were released on the internet revealing numbers of the production, including “2 Bad”, “Stranger in Moscow”, “Bad”, and “Smooth Criminal”. However, unlike Immortal, the show only uses prerecorded tracks, with no live orchestra. This show is also the most dance-driven Cirque du Soleil show.Table of ContentsThe show[edit]Characters[edit]Setlist[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]The show[edit]The show’s plot is centered on four “misfits” who set out on a journey into Michael Jackson’s world and music. By journey’s end, they personify Jackson’s agility, courage, playfulness and love. These values are represented with his white gloves, white socks and black shoes, hat and sunglasses.Each of four main characters receives an object from Jackson. First, Clumsy is given the shoes, and with his newfound balance, performs a double slackline act to “Bad.” Next, Shy overcomes her name when she receives Jackson’s glasses, and she vanquishes a troupe of warriors in a martial arts display set to “2000 Watts” and “Jam.” Then, Smarty Pants, the de facto leader of the four, puts on Jackson’s hat and is imbued with the artist’s legendary gracefulness in “Smile.” Finally, Sneaky, the troublemaker, performs a playful manipulation act with the rogue glove to “This Place Hotel” and “Workin’ Day and Night.”Characters[edit]Michael Jackson – the misfits’ spirit guideMephisto – the antagonist who represents the paparazzi and tabloid mediaClumsy – the misfit who gains balance with Jackson’s white socks and black loafersShy – the misfit who uses Jackson’s sunglasses to overcome her introversionSmarty Pants – the de facto leader of the misfits; uses Jackson’s fedora to display gracefulnessSneaky – the troublemaking misfit who performs a playful manipulation act using Jackson’s sparkly gloveVarious villains – opponents whom the misfits encounter and must defeat to complete their adventurous journeyWarriors – The Heroes of The Show that utilize the white jackets and white fedoras to defeat the MephistoSetlist[edit]*Also includes: “Ghosts” \/ “Somebody’s Watching Me” \/ “In the Closet” \/ “Why You Wanna Trip on Me”Vortex – IntroBeat It – Dance NumberLeave Me Alone\/Tabloid Junkie\/2 Bad – Dance NumberStranger in Moscow – Spanish WebBad – Slack lineSmooth Criminal – Japanese Men’s Rhythmic GymnasticsHuman Nature – ContortionJam – Martial ArtsThey Don’t Care About Us – March RoutineEarth Song – Shadow PuppetsSmile – Solo DanceWanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ – Trapeze DuetThe Way You Make Me Feel – Dance NumberDirty Diana – Pole DanceThis Place Hotel – Glove ManipulationBillie Jean – Glow-in-the-dark Dance RoutineScream – Video ProjectionThriller – TrampolineSpeechless – InterludeI Just Can’t Stop Loving You – Spanish WebMan in the Mirror – Dance NumberBlack or White – FinaleReferences[edit]External links[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/2014\/09\/25\/michael-jackson-one-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Michael Jackson: One – Wikipedia"}}]}]
