Guided by Michael Jackson’s own words, the new “Michael Jackson One” by Cirque du Soleil starts previews May 23 and celebrates its official premiere June 29 at Mandalay Bay.
L.A. attorney John Branca, co-executor of the Estate of Michael Jackson, said: “We are guided by Michael’s own philosophy in all that we do. In preparing for this production, Michael’s message to the cast and crew for his ‘This Is It’ concerts was foremost in our minds. He counseled them on what the audience experience should be.
Cirque CEO and President Daniel Lamarre hosted a preview of “One” at Mandalay Bay and added: “Our second project with the Michael Jackson Estate confirms how stimulating this creative partnership was meant to be. As a creative challenge, this project is the ultimate — Michael Jackson is an all-time phenomenal artist, timeless and contemporary.
“This new theatrical experience is not only respectful of Michael’s legacy, but also very distinctive from the ‘Immortal’ world arena tour.”
Even this show has been rehearsed in Montreal, as a viewers are sure about the magic is going to operate in the next few weeks prior to the preview and premiere full of acts and quality performers.

A habitual sperm donor in his youth, he discovers that he’s the biological father of 533 children, 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck.
Produced by André Rouleau, the film also stars Julie Le Breton, as David’s long suffering girlfriend who suddenly finds herself pregnant and understandably reluctant to share parenthood with the unreliable David, and Antoine Bertrand, David’s longtime friend, Paul, an attorney who takes on his case while trying to disabuse him of the joys of parenthood.
It’s a story hugely sentimental full of unexpected reactions of some characters but plenty of charm and great humor sense. Mainly with anonymity laws have changed and 142 of these young adults want to meet him what is he going to do? Is he will be out of this intriguingly bizarre situation? Just see it because is really enjoyable French Canadian film will be will release on March 22 in Los Angeles and New York, with a national rollout to follow.

Don’t get mad – get everything!” is the mantra for DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell…and Back! from the producer of the Off-Broadway hit, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL promises a night of laughter and solidarity for all. The story centers on Linda, who is still reeling from the collapse of her marriage. When all she wants to do is have another bowl of Chubby Hubby ice cream, Linda’s three friends (along with a massage therapist/pizza delivery boy/make-over guru and others) decide to help her move on to a new beginning by throwing her the mother of all divorce parties. Using familiar songs with clever new lyrics, and coupled with a good dose of comic mayhem (and a touch of “naughty”) the girls cut loose on the realities of divorce, long term relationships and moving on.
The production coming to Los Angeles previously performed at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach and the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A separate, Canadian company performed the show at Stage West in Mississauga, Ontario last fall.
