A Review and More of MJ One at the Mandalay Bay
This weekend, I was able to see the first dress rehearsal of Cirque du Soleil’s MJ One at the Mandalay Bay, along with several other fan community leaders, thanks to the MJ Estate. Not only did we get to see the show before anyone else, but we were treated to several other surprises that truly made for an amazing and eye opening weekend.
Before I get to the show and the spoilers (which I will give fair warning about, fear not), I will say that Cirque du Soleil and the MJ Estate have achieved something truly amazing with this one. Throughout this entire weekend, the love, respect, and admiration that they feel towards Michael (and the fans) was obvious. I can’t imagine how hard this entire team worked to make this happen in such a short amount of time, but I deeply admire and appreciate them all the more for it.
We were flown from all over the world to Las Vegas and put up at The Mandalay Bay, which is by far the nicest hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. (To be fair, it is probably the ONLY nice hotel I have ever had thee pleasure of staying in.) The view from my room was amazing. See for yourself.
The hotel was massive. I literally did not leave it once between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon, and I never even saw the whole thing. It was also gorgeous with some amazing restaurants and shops,. (I got a really great gift for our wonderful GlitterySocks, but I’ll let her tell you about that when she gets it.) And as some of us on PosMike were wondering, yes, it is connected to the Luxor. The MJ slot machine may have turned me into a gambling addict. I won enough to break even, which I considered a huge success.
We all got together for an amazing seafood lunch on Saturday. The highlight of that lunch was not the amazing food, however, but getting to personally meet John Branca, Jamie King, and Welby Atidor. All were incredibly kind, gracious, and unbelievably passionate and enthusiastic about this project. You could feel the MJ love and admiration throughout the room. On that note, you could feel it all over the hotel. The MJ Slots were always occupied and there was ALWAYS somebody buying MJ One tickets in the box office.
Wir kamen alle zusammen für eine erstaunliches Meeresfrüchte Mittagessen am Samstag. Das Highlight dieses Mittagessen war nicht das super Essen, jedoch aber persönlich zu treffen John Branca, Jamie King, und Welby Atidor. Alle waren unglaublich freundlich, liebenswürdig, und unglaublich leidenschaftlich und begeistert von diesem Projekt. Man konnte dieLiebe und Bewunderung zu MJ im ganzen Raum spüren. In diesem Sinne könnte man es im ganzen Hotel zu spüren. Die MJ Slots waren immer besetzt und es gab immer jemanden beim Kauf MJ One Tickets an der Abendkasse
Later that afternoon, we were given a tour of the theatre, including backstage. We saw first hand how they do this stuff, and I still can’t even fathom it. We couldn’t take pictures inside the theatre, but we could take pictures inside the lobby!
Später am Nachmittag hatte wir eine Führung durch das Theater, inklusive Backstage. . Wir sahen aus erster Hand, wie sie diese Dinge tun, und ich kann es immer noch nicht ergründen. Wir konnten keine Bilder im Theater machen, aber wir konnten Bilder in der Lobby nehmen!
