Cirque du Soleil, News, ONE Chinese performers kept out of MJ ONE in Las Vegas
For the first time in its nearly 27-year history on the Strip, Cirque du Soleil has sidelined artists because of a potential health risk.
A troupe of performers who had just returned from a trip to China were held out of the “Michael Jackson One” show for three performances.
“In the interest of safety, Cirque du Soleil executives made a decision to have seven Chinese artists from the Michael Jackson ONE show sit out of the show for three days (Thursday through Saturday) to ensure they were not showing symptoms of the coronavirus,” the company said in a statement.
The coronavirus is a new respiratory virus that has killed dozens and sickened at least 1,000 in China.
The Chinese artists had just returned to Las Vegas after traveling to China, the statement read. None of the artists was near the city of Wuhan, considered the disease’s epicenter.
The decision was “made in consultation with the Michael Jackson ONE medical team and the seven affected artists and was supported by the entire cast and crew of the show,” the statement said. All of the artists are scheduled to rejoin the cast Sunday.
Cirque officials Ann Paladie and former company executive Jerry Nadal said Saturday night they could not recall performers ever being held from a show because of a potential health risk.
MJ ONE in Las Vegas has been suspended due to COVID-19. Here below the statement from Cirque du Soleil:
Taking into consideration the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation for social distancing as well as the escalation of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group announced the immediate temporary suspension of the following Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas:
“O” at Bellagio KÀ at MGM Grand The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage Mystère at Treasure Island Zumanity at New York-New York Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay
From the very beginning of the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the Group took rigorous measures to protect its work teams and the public. Our priority has always been and remains the health and safety of our artists, our partners and various employees, but also of our public.
We will continue to monitor and assess the situation to determine when shows will resume
Will customers be reimbursed?

Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil Mandalay Bay
Most of the Casinos in Las Vegas are re-opening today putting safety measures in place against COVID-19.
While most of the casinos and hotels are re-opening, all shows are still currently closed but you can pre-book tickets shows for MJ One starting on July 2.
It is not know yet what measures Cirque du Soleil will put in place but the date is set for now.
Last night was the grand re-opening of Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil at Mandalay Bay after 17 months of closure due to the pandemic.
And the show was sold out!
French Olympic trampoline qualifier Greg Pennes, who is working on the show talked about the months of closure: “Training, obviously, has been my main goal, it’s definitely new for us, dealing with health and safety issues, but once you jump in…”

Greg has been with MJ ONE for over 6 years and after so many months out of work, he said “It’s been amazingly great! The body remembers. It’s pretty incredible”.
MJ ONE is one of the only production in Las Vegas to have audience wearing face-covering as well as their performers. Weirdly, it doesn’t take away from the show, in contrary, it ads a sort of Michael-esque feel.

Makeup application for masked performers has been adjusted and the process takes about an hour per performer with the artists moving in and out of the space in shifts to maintain social distancing.
Performing in front of a live audience, Greg said “The first time back, I got goosebumps, it was so much different than performing for empty seats. It was emotional and magical”.
Fans will also recognise a new comer to the MJ ONE family: Dres Reid, who was one of the dancers on “THIS IS IT”.
