LiveDesign: “Our mandate was to create a theatrical performance,” says David Finn of the lighting design for Michael Jackson ONE™ at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. “Jamie King had just finished the touring version of Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, which was a true concert-style performance, and both he and [Cirque du Soleil founder and CEO] Guy Laliberté were keen to create a piece that had a theatrical arc story-wise, musically, and visually. Jamie comes from the pop world, so I knew I had to have rock ‘n’ roll elements in the plot.” So Finn went for the flexibility of a repertory theatre plot, along with arrays of fixtures in key positions that could fill the space with stunning visuals. PRG, A.C.T Lighting, 4Wall Entertainment Lighting, Solotech, and Entertainment Lighting Services provided the gear.
