text: We were so excited to see this show.    Having never seen a bad Cirque performance, and having such a love for MJ's music and image... we couldn't see how it could go wrong.\n\nWhat an absolute waste of time and money.\n\nThe Michael Jackson video slot machines capture his image and legacy in a more honest way.    Quite honestly, it's terrible.  \n\nIt starts off great.  The theatre is stunning.   The ushers are dressed in faux-MJ getups.  The paparazi hound you with flash photography.    It's an excellent way of building anticipation.   \n\nThen the show starts, and you're transported back to high-school talent show.   That's what it feels like.    Soul-less dance and silly interludes all set to stock audio and video samples of Michael Jackson.     \n\nIt had the metaphorical effect of Propofol and quite literally soothed me to sleep.   \n\nIt's different than the excellent Cirque show \"Love\" on the Beatles in that it doesn't really incorporate much of the popular circus/ cirque elements like acrobatics or humor.    ONE is to Cirque Du Soleil as Softball is to Major League Baseball.     \n\nAt least it gave them an excuse to sell these $30 shiny light up gloves.    \n\nNever again.
