Tickets are now on sale for the fifth edition of One Night for One Drop, an extraordinary, one-night-only experience created to benefit safe water access programs. Performing exclusively at the Zumanity Theatre at New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas Friday, March 3, 2017, the performance will feature an evocative new theme with a healthy dose of humor, bringing to life some of the world’s most famous circus characters in an intimate vintage setting. 

Presented by MGM Resorts International, One Night for One Drop 2017 will focus on the concept of time, showcasing a variety of themes which will inspire guests to re-evaluate what “taking a chance” means to them as they witness some of the world’s most daring circus acts performed in a whole new way.

Serving as the Creators of this year’s production, Zumanity performers Nicky and Laetitia Dewhurst will enlist the help of their family to tell this tale, including Nicky’s father and beloved Mystère performer Brian Dewhurst, who will represent mankind as he portrays a grumpy old circus ringmaster known as “The Traveler.” Also performing in the show will be Laetitia’s brother Perry Ray, as “The Timekeeper” who teaches the old ringmaster a lesson he will never forget.

“Like other natural resources on Earth, water is such a precious commodity that needs to be preserved and protected if we wish to stand the test of time,” said Krista Monson, creator of the first One Night for One Drop in 2013 who will return to direct the overall process including overseeing the creative team as Director of Creation this year. “As performers, Nicky and Laetitia have a deeper understanding and appreciation for circus life including the long hours, tireless rehearsals and non-stop dedication that go into putting on a show. With time running out, we will use those same efforts to deliver a performance that’s both gritty and bold, daring guests to act now.”

Individual, tax-deductible VIP tickets, which include the post-show extravaganza complete with live entertainment, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and festivities, are available for $1,500, with show-only tickets starting at $100.
