Given the quality of his work and his reputation for high standards, the expectations for a show revolving around Michael Jackson will always be exceedingly high. Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, produced in conjunction with Jackson’s estate, aspires to meet the level of perfection the star would demand. The show, which combines Jackson’s music with Cirque’s distinctive acrobatic feats, is at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas in a space that was formerly occupied by a production of The Lion King; it was completely renovated specifically for MJ ONE. CDS anchored a team that included Auerbach Pollock Friedlander, Moser Architecture Studio, and Jaffe Holden Acoustics for the design and specification of the rigging and automation, lighting control, and audio-video systems. The show’s story line was written by choreographer Jamie King, who danced in Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour. The musical director, Kevin Antunes (New Kids on the Block, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Britney Spears, ‘N Sync, Justin Timberlake), made his selections from “Michael’s entire treasure vault” and remixed it specifically for the show.

  • Beastie Boys Square Resolution
    Draft of Resolution, Provided to CB3 by Applicant CB3 Beastie Boys Square Resolution Whereas the Beastie Boys were established in July 1981 as part of the Lower East Side’s CBGB punk music scene, and frequently played in that venue; Whereas the Beastie Boys’ first album, “Polly Wog Stew,” was recorded at 171A Studios, located at 171 Avenue A in the East Village; Whereas in 1984, the Beastie Boys were the first white and the first Jewish hip hop group signed to Def Jam records, where they played a significant, early role breaking down racial barriers in 1980s music between rock (white audience) and hip hop (black and Latino audience), which in turn led to a greater cultural understanding and historic reduction in the racial divide between the groups according to the book and 2013 VH1 miniseries “The Tanning of America”; Whereas in 1988 the group released the album “Paul’s Boutique,” which brought the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets on the Lower East Side international fame by featuring an oversized picture of the corner on the cover of the album; Whereas the cover art from “Paul’s Boutique,” which Rolling Stone magazine named the 156th greatest album of all time in 2009 and the Village Voice named 3rd on its list of the 50 Most New York Albums Ever in 2013, continues to draw fans from around the world to the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets; Whereas, the Beastie Boys meet CB3’s street renaming guidelines because they have achieved “exceptional and highly acclaimed accomplishment or involvement linked to Manhattan Community
