Members of the Jackson family were in Las Vegas on Saturday (June 29) to honor the late King of Pop at the opening night of "Michael Jackson ONE," the new Cirque du Soleil spectacular. The newest Vegas production is Cirque du Soleil's second collaboration with the estate of Michael Jackson.
Michael's brothers Jackie and Tito said they were excited to see their brother's work on stage.

"I'm expecting something fantastic. When you have Michael Jackson, who is a superstar and Cirque who is a superstar company, you expect to see something fantastic, something great when you put those two together."
Katherine, Michael's mother, who is currently engaged in a wrongful death suit against concert promoter AEG Live, said she thought the Cirque production would have impressed her son.
