SA-born Michael Jackson tribute performer Dantanio Goodman will celebrate the memory of The King of Pop live on stage at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace from December 6 to 22.
The Michael Jackson tribute concert is a two-hour musical spectacular, which takes audiences on a nostalgic journey back to MJ’s early days as a member of the Jackson 5, his ground-breaking theatrics in the ’80s and his continued reign as the King of Pop into the 21st century.

Having rung in 2019 with a successful performance run in Cape Town in January, it’s now the turn for Johannesburg fans to experience the music, costumes and amazing production celebrating the icon.
In 2014, Dantanio was scouted by the show’s director, Johnny van Grinsven, to take on this challenging role, in what’s been billed as “a mind-blowing stage production”.
Dantanio said Michael Jackson inspired him to sing and dance. He has been preparing for this role his entire life and get’s to live out his dream of paying tribute to his idol on stage around the world.
“I am so excited to be back in Johannesburg, where I get to share my love for MJ with other die-hard fans of the pop icon,” said Dantanio.
“It’s such an honour and a privilege to perform as Michael across the globe and what a treat it is for me to close out 2019 in style – celebrating the life of the King of Pop right here on home soil.”
Expect to hear all the major hits, such as Thriller, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Bad, Beat It, ABC, Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough, Human Nature, PYT, and They Don’t Really Care About Us, being belted out on stage.
