Michael Jackson's 'presence' felt at Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show

The creator of Cirque du Soleil's 'One' show, which was written in Michael Jackson's memory, has revealed that the King of Pop's presence is always felt around the production.

Jamie King confessed that he believes Jackson is haunting the show, which is currently being staged in Las Vegas, and he gets a sense of how the superstar would have reacted to the scenes and dance numbers by the spooky atmosphere surrounding the action:

"I have sensed from the very beginning that Michael has been with me all along. I am not just the story creator and director, but that I am the co director with Michael. My intention from the very beginning was to create a show that Michael would wanted to create himself, so I do not do that alone. I didn't make one decision that I felt Michael wouldn't have wanted."

King isn't alone in his experiences as sound designer Jonathan Deans added that he has felt the 'Thriller' icon's spirit as well: "His presence is definitely here. You close your eyes and he's in the room. Hopefully he will be sitting here saying that is great."
