TV STAR MILES “BABY BOOGALOO” BROWN JOINS CAST OF FOURTH EDITION OF ONE NIGHT FOR ONE DROP

Star-studded benefit will debut at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, March 18

TV star Miles “Baby Boogaloo” Brown will make his highly anticipated debut in the fourth edition of One Night for ONE DROP imagined by Cirque du Soleil® on Friday, March 18. Known for his key role as “Jack Johnson” in ABC’s Blackish, Brown will tell the childhood story of this year’s artistic director Hassan El Hajjami as he journeys on a quest for water in this completely original, one-night-only production. Presented by MGM Resorts International, McLaren Automotive and Zappos, One Night for ONE DROP is an annual celebration to raise funds and awareness for critical water issues worldwide.

“I’ve never been more excited!” said Brown. “This is my first time ever performing with Cirque du Soleil and I still can’t believe that it’s happening. It’s a dream come true!”

 

“Back in Morocco, my grandmother and I had to walk for water every day because she didn’t have any in her village,” said El Hajjami. “When I was chosen to create this year’s One Night for ONE DROP, I immediately thought of my good friend Miles and knew he would be the perfect representation of my younger self. We are grateful for his evident enthusiasm and willingness to star in this show.”

 

Known as one of television’s most unforgettable young stars, Miles “Baby Boogaloo” Brown currently stars as “Jack Johnson” in ABC’s hit show Blackish, performing alongside renowned actors Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross. Brown previously appeared on Drunk History, The Thundermans, Shameless and Raising Hope and was also heard as the voice of “Jack” in Disney Junior’s Goldie and Bear. The 11-year-old actor, dancer and rapper has been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, America’s Got Talent, Yo Gabba Gabba, Justin Bieber’s “Believe” and Battlefield America, and will soon make his debut in the global masterpiece One Night for ONE DROP imagined by Cirque du Soleil.

 

All proceeds will benefit ONE DROP’s global initiatives, along with innovative educational programming in Nevada through a partnership with the Las Vegas Springs Preserve. Individual, tax-deductible VIP tickets, which include the post-show extravaganza and after-party, are available for $3,000, with show-only tickets starting at $100.
