ONE NIGHT FOR ONE DROP,
THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS
ANNUAL CHARITABLE
EVENT IN LAS VEGAS,
MARKS FIVE YEARS.
One of the charms of the annual,
one-night-only performance of One
Night for One Drop, imagined by
Cirque du Soleil as a benefit for
critical worldwide water issues: its
wacky cast combos. This year's
performance was no exception, with
Grammy-nominated rapper Redfoo
from Party Rock Crew playing the
role of the Voice of Reason, and
13-year-old America's Got Talent
winner Grace VanderWaal playing a
winsome circus poodle-wrangler.
Having lost her dog, she takes out
her ukulele and sings her original
"Light The Sky." The show follows the
story of an abusive ringmaster
(Humanity) forced to look back at his
own abuses of his assistant (the
Earth) and ask for a redo. Fittingly,
VanderWaal, the Tenors, Shatner,
and Redfoo ended the show linking
arms for a rousing can-can dance to
a singalong number called "Screw
It—We're Moving to Mars."
Redfoo and Grace
VanderWaal do
a final jig for
the crowd.
