Four shows remain

The Strip's Cirque du Soleil roster is now exactly four productions, and this page carries all of them. Mystère at Treasure Island is the original — the 1993 production that started the empire, 30+ years in — with a full buyer's guide (prices, seating chart, which seats earn their money) and the company's own 'Most Explosive Acts' showcase (2026). Its framing matters: acrobatics-first classic against which the bigger spectacles are measured. Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay gets the same buyer's treatment plus two official films — a 2015 backstage piece (the cast as family: the MJ Warriors, guitarist Gina Gleason as The Muse, the lean explained by the dancers) and the 2013 opening-era film, labeled as the period piece it is.

MikeTheVegasGuy's buyer's guide to Mystère at Treasure Island (2024): prices, the seating chart, and which seats earn their money. His framing matters — Mystère is the original Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show, celebrating over 30 years at TI with two shows a night — and his review treats it as the classic, acrobatics-first Cirque against which the bigger spectacles are measured.

Key takeaways
  • Prices + seating chart: which seats to buy
  • The original Vegas Cirque — 30+ years at Treasure Island
  • Two shows nightly, as filmed

Mystère's Most Explosive Acts | Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil's official 'Mystère's Most Explosive Acts' showcase (2026): the show's biggest acrobatic moments cut as a highlight reel — aerial, tumbling and the giant snail's-eye spectacle of the production. Performance footage only; watch it to see what the acts actually look like.

A Mesmerizing Journey Through “O”: Barge, Bateau & Fire | Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil's official feature on three of 'O's signature water acts, the Barge, the Bateau and the fire performance, filmed on the Bellagio stage where the pool is the floor. Twenty-two minutes of the show as only its own cameras can capture it, since audience filming is prohibited. Performance footage, no narration track available.

The two that can't be filmed

"O" and KÀ ban audience filming outright, so their records here are the company's own cameras: for "O", the signature water acts feature and — the page's one narrated keeper — a coffee interview with show coach Allister Booth, whose path ran from Mystère's original creation cast through five years performing in "O" into coaching. For KÀ at MGM Grand, the Forest Act in pure performance footage and the 20th-anniversary oral history: the conductor, a baton artist, a 20-year cast-member-turned-rigger and the shoe technician ('the soles never lie') remembering the spinning stage's debut.

How to choose

First Cirque show ever: Mystère — the classic grammar of the form, two shows nightly as filmed. Biggest spectacle: "O", if the water stage is the draw; KÀ, if you want story and machinery. A fan's show: ONE, built entirely on a catalogue you already know. Each show's own page on this site goes deeper — this guide is the comparison layer, and every film on it exists because the shows themselves can't be bootlegged into coverage.

Sources: the nine videos on this page — two full buyer's guides, official Cirque performance films and anniversary oral histories, a show-coach interview, and Mandalay Bay's backstage and opening-era films — summarized from their entries in our catalog.

A coffee with…Show Coach at ‘O’, Allister Booth! 🤸 ☕️ | Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil's 'A coffee with…' interview with Allister Booth, a show coach at 'O', traces an unusual career: original-creation performer on Mystère, five years performing in 'O', retirement into coaching across several Cirque productions, then a return to 'O' as a coach. It is this page's one narrated keeper: 'O' bans in-theatre filming, so nearly everything else here is official Cirque performance film. The interview is the human backstage view those films cannot give.

Key takeaways
  • Interview with 'O' show coach Allister Booth
  • His path: Mystère creation cast, five years performing in 'O', then coaching
  • The page's only narrated video; 'O' prohibits in-theatre filming

Journey Through the Forest | #KA Forest Act | Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil's official 'Journey Through the Forest' film of KÀ's Forest Act: the production's lush aerial-and-creature sequence presented as pure performance footage. No narration — the act itself, filmed by the company, and the clearest look at KÀ's visual world on this page.

KÀ 20th Anniversary | Trailer | Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil's KÀ 20th-anniversary film (2025) is an oral history, not a trailer: the original conductor and co-orchestrator Richard Oberacker, baton artist Noriko Takahashi, 20-year cast-and-now-rigging veteran Matthew Salcedo and shoe technician Liann Rawlings remember the first preview, the spinning stage's debut and two decades of the show — 'there is no show in the world like it.' The warmest record of KÀ's human machinery on the page.

Key takeaways
  • 20th-anniversary oral history from cast and crew
  • The stage's first spin, remembered
  • 'The soles never lie' — wardrobe's-eye view

Behind The Scenes at Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

Mandalay Bay's official behind-the-scenes film (2015) introduces the ONE cast as a family: dancer Luke Randle (an 'MJ Warrior'), live guitarist Gina Gleason as The Muse — whose favorite moment is the snow-falling serenity of Stranger in Moscow — and magician Xavier Mortimer as Sneaky, on the Smooth Criminal lean and why the dancers feed off the crowd. Dated 2015, and the show has refreshed since; the cast's own words remain the best backstage record.

Key takeaways
  • Cast interviews: the MJ Warriors, The Muse, Sneaky
  • Stranger in Moscow's snowfall, from the guitarist
  • The lean, explained by the dancers

MICHAEL JACKSON ONE by Cirque du Soleil at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

Mandalay Bay's official 2013 Michael Jackson ONE film, from the show's opening era: Cirque's creative voices on the themes Michael explored all his life and how the production was built to carry them. A period piece from the premiere year — valuable as the record of how the show was first presented, with its staging since refreshed.

Key takeaways
  • Opening-era official film, 2013
  • The creative intent, in the makers' words
  • Premiere-year presentation of the production
