MJ LIVE is the number one Michael Jackson tribute show in the world showcasing the energy, excitement, spectacle and pure joy of this legendary superstar and his music. Experience this awesome, theatrical stage production with its powerful sound, spectacular lighting, visual effects, team of dancers and live band on stage taking audiences back to when the King of Pop ruled the charts -- along with the Michael Jackson tribute artist’s spot-on breathtaking impersonations, performed by rotating impersonators Justin Dean, Jalles Franca and Tony Kouns. Sing along to many of Jackson’s biggest hits presented all on one stage, including “Bad,” “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Dangerous,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Black & White,” “Thriller,” “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough,” and many more. MJ LIVE also includes a Jackson 5 segment (“I’ll Be There,” “I Want You Back”) inspired by Soul Train.
