It was surely as emotional as it was a musical spectacular.
Family and fans of the King of Pop were treated to a theatrical adventure through the legend's greatest hits at the opening night the Michael Jackson ONE on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Leading the crowd at the sold-out show was the late singer's son Prince Jackson, who posed on the red carpet with girlfriend Remi Alfalah and his grandmother Katherine Jackson.

The trio smiled as they made their way into the theatre alongside Michael's siblings Tito, Marlon and Jackie.
The premiere comes four years to the week since the Billie Jean singer was found dead in his bedroom at his Los Angeles home from a suspected drug overdose, leaving behind his three children Prince, Paris and 'Blanket.'
Not spotted on Saturday night was Michael's daughter Paris Jackson, who has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after a suicide attempt earlier this month.

But things appear to be improving for the 15-year-old, who is expected to be released soon, family members told E! News on Saturday.
'She's doing wonderful right now,' uncle Jackie Jackson said.
'She's getting better. She should be out soon.'
Uncle Marlon chimed in with well wishes and hopes for the teen's speedy recovery: 'We love her. After all that she's gone through, losing a father -- that's hard on a youngster. So she's staying strong.'
Supportive: Michael's mother Katherine was awarded custody of his three children, including Prince, after his death in 2009
Putting on a brave face: Not spotted with Prince was sister Paris, who has been hospitalized after attempting suicide
While surely being a trip down memory lane for Michael's family members, a litany of celebrity fans also made sure to attend, including Justin Bieber.
'Just watched #MJONE by @Cirque in Vegas. MJ was the greatest that ever did it. the show reminded us of that. #ManintheMirror was incredible!' the 19-year-old tweeted.
Also spotted making their way into the premiere were director Spike Lee and actors Dule Hill, Allison Janney, Neil Patrick Harris and Ian Ziering, who has just extended his run in the popular Vegas all-male review Chippendale's through July 14.

'So stoked for the opening tonight of One, the Michael Jackson Cirque show opening at Mandalay Bay! Bring on the awesome! #crotchgrab,' Neil Patrick Harris tweeted ahead of the show.
The show is billed as a 'unique theatrical adventure through the spirit and music' of the King of Pop.
According to the Mandalay Bay's website, 'Michael Jackson ONE is a state-of-the-art visual and audio experience' that recounts the tale of 'four misfits set out on a transformative adventure. By journey's end, they will personify Michael's agility, courage, playfulness and love.'
'Bring on the awesome': Neil Patrick Harris tweeted his excitement for the show, which he attended alongside partner David Burtka
Not so bad: Director Spike Lee wore a shirt emblazoned with the late singer's face as he attended with his wife Tonya
The 90-minute song and dance spectacular, written and directed by Jamie King (known for his work with Britney Spears and Madonna) has been running in previews since May and features over sixty performers as they run through a large chunk -- nearly three-quarters -- of Michael's music library.
'Michael Jackson is creatively inspiring for Cirque du Soleil artisans,' Cirque du Soleil president Daniel Lamarre said of the project.
'There are so many common creative elements between us that it is a pleasure to imagine this new production.'
A fashionable friend: Italian designer Roberto Cavalli paid tribute to the singer, whom he had worked with in the past
Fans: Actors Josh Strickland (L) and Ian Ziering also grabbed tickets to the show
Ticket sales current run through the end of September with performance times listed through December 30. But according to the Las Vegas Sun fans will be hard-pressed to find any seats for performances this summer.
'We're pretty well sold out with the current block we put on sale to Aug. 31,' the newspaper reported earlier this month.

Having hosted another posthumous show and exhibit dedicated to the singer -- The Immoral World Tour and the Michael Jackson Fan Fest -- Mandalay Bay president Chuck Bowing declared that the casino is 'honoured and humbled to be home to incredible entertainment celebrating his legacy for new generations to come.'
'The world may never again know a force in entertainment of the caliber of Michael Jackson,' he continued.
The hotel has also launched a Michael Jackson-inspired lounge as well as a permanent exhibit on the property.
