ONE alternates between multi-sensory overload and poetic theatricality
the essence of each song. And while the King of Pop himself is present throughout the show via multi-screen projection and clever costume references, when the moment finally comes (as it must) for The Gloved One to appear in a holograph- ic-style Pepper’s Ghost illusion, it’s done with such lyrical elegance and musical
precision that Jackson becomes a golden sparkling spirit, blessing the show’s dancers with his magic. The show reaches beyond the proscenium to immerse audi- ences visually, sonically and emotionally. All of this makes Michael Jackson: ONE an apt choice for this year’s Thea AOA for Event Spectacular.
