Michael Jackson is not only remembered as one of the most influential artists of all time, but many of today’s artists have been inspired by his iconic style. His career spanned nearly five decades of music, and he was continually at the forefront of popular music. Jackson Live in Concert sees long-time fan and hugely talented Ben recreate the Michael Jackson experience with his stunning rendition of all his favourite songs.
Ben’s portrayal of Jackson has to be the most accurate and exciting tribute to the King of Pop to have ever toured UK theatres. Ben is joined on the stage by his Incredible Band and Dancers who work their way through all the hits. He’s got the look, the moonwalk and the voice! His renditions of Thriller, Beat it and Billie Jean are truly sensational.
Jackson Live in Concert features all-live vocals and music, fabulous costumes, and of course all the signature dance moves associated so fondly with the undisputed King of Pop. Pure MJ!

40 years ago saw the release of a record that would bridge the generation gap and become a rock anthem to both young and old - 20th Century Boy. Written and composed by Marc Bolan, he with his band T.Rex, were among the most flamboyant and charismatic performers of the glam rock era. In 1976 they released one of the most memorable and everlasting signature tunes, I Love to Boogie.
T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over 20 years, a career that ironically out lives Marc's very own T.Rex. The only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan's family, estate and original ex-members of T.Rex. T.Rextasy have been described by many as 'beyond the boundaries of tribute'.
Truly a rock'n'roll concert for all ages - if you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this show is for you!

Combining stunning replica costumes and excellent authentic choreography, from Waterloo to Dancing Queen, all of the hits are performed with superbly accurate harmony vocals, set to a full live band.
Created by the original Director, Producer and Choreographer of the award-winning Abbamania! West End musical, and starring the original 'Frida' from the London cast, this show leaves fans asking the question..."Did we just see the ABBA reunion concert that never was?"
