Direct from London and exclusively at Joburg Theatre, visiting South Africa for the first time, Forever Jackson is set to delight Michael Jackson fans.
The show will run at Joburg Theatre’s Mandela stage from 1 to 19 June.
Artist and producer, Robin Parsons pays true homage to the late great King of Pop. Singing 100 percent live lead vocals, 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 theatrical makeup – is the exact image of the music icon.
Parsons has spent the past 17 years studying Jackson in meticulous detail to produce the closest complete likeness of the star.
His dedication paid off in a big way when he got to live a dream and performed for Jackson in 2003 at his 45th birthday show at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles – an honour only a 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 ending on Father’s Day, 19 June.
