Tribute show
A Michael Jackson show conceived for the stage, energy, and emotion.
Ben Jack’son’s show offers, while remaining proportionate to Michael Jackson’s incredible concerts, a retrospective of his greatest hits, featuring staged and choreographed sequences. The performance follows a genuine narrative progression.
Playback is a deliberate artistic choice: it ensures a precise, intense dance performance that remains faithful to Michael Jackson’s universe. Ben Jack’son chooses a perfectly controlled playback performance rather than live vocals that could be compromised by demanding choreography — an approach Michael Jackson himself regularly used on stage. The audience, particularly demanding, can therefore enjoy hearing Michael Jackson’s real voice. The show also features a professional singer performing several Michael Jackson songs entirely live.
A professional, multidisciplinary team. The show features 2 to 4 dancers and can run from a 10-minute pop-up performance to a full 90-minute show.
Video projections, stage effects and a powerful visual identity. The show features video projections, technical effects—including controlled pyrotechnics—and Michael Jackson’s iconic 45-degree lean.
