‘Forever Jackson’ a tribute to MJ
Singing 100 per cent live lead vocal, his. His dancing mirrors the legend in every detail, step for step right down to the smallest of mannerisms, and his look (created through a three hour process using only theatrical make-up) is the exact image of MJ.
DIRECT from London and exclusively at Joburg Theatre, visiting South Africa for the first time, ‘Forever Jackson’ is set to delight Michael Jackson fans in Joburg. The show will run on The Mandela stage from June 1 to June 19.
Artist and producer Robin Parsons pays true homage to the late, great King of Pop.
Singing 100 per cent live lead vocal, his voice replicates the distinctive tones of Jackson. His dancing mirrors the legend in every detail, step-for-step right down to the smallest of mannerisms, and his look (created through a three-hour process using only theatrical make-up) is the exact image of MJ. He has spent the past 17 years studying Michael Jackson in meticulous detail to produce the closest complete likeness currently performing today.
Robin has been a long-time fan and learnt to replicate Michael’s abilities through a love of performing. His dedication paid off in a big way when he got to live a dream and performed for Michael Jackson in 2003 at his 45th birthday show at the Orpheum Theatre in LA, an honour only a very select few have experienced.
‘Forever Jackson’ features electrifying choreography, superb special effects and includes an extensive catalogue of hits, from the Jackson 5’s ‘Can You Feel It’ to solo pieces such as ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Bad’, ‘Thriller’, ‘Beat It’, ‘Man in the Mirror’, ‘Smooth Criminal’ and many more.
The three-week production, set for all ages, guarantees an authentic experience and visual extravaganza throughout its season ending on Father’s Day, June 19.
Performances run from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 20:00 and Sundays at 15:00.
Tickets range from R120 to R325. These are available by visiting www.joburgtheatre.com or calling 0861 670 670, as well as through Webtickets.
