MJ Live: A Michael Jackson Tribute Concert
“Bad.” “Billie Jean.” “Beat It.” “Black or White.” All enormous hits—and those are just the B’s. MJ Live: A Michael Jackson Tribute Concert aims to match the energy and excitement of these and many other indelible songs with a sing-along stage spectacle that’s just as huge. The concert also features Boy Band Review as the opening act.
The show is backed by a full live band, a dazzling light show, multi-media projections, and synchronized choreography from backup dancers. Changing from the glitzy jackets to the torn-collar white T-shirt, the impersonators deliver a set stacked high with hits pulled out of MJ’s wunderkind days in The Jackson 5, his Thriller zenith, his Bad and Dangerous eras, and beyond. With muscular hooks and tectonic grooves, the show gets audiences as close as they can to the legendary performer without having to hang out with Macaulay Culkin.

About MJ Live: Michael Jackston Tribute Concert
As vaudeville heaved its last breaths in the late 1920s, RKO’s Riverside Theater opened in 1928 and served as a performance hall for just a few years before Warner Brothers took it over to screen their films. Decades of neglect followed, reaching a nadir in 1966 when a carelessly tossed cigarette butt incinerated the proscenium’s drapery, prompting the cash-conscious owners to replace the opulent teal velour with workmanlike duvetyn. A slated demolition in 1982 nearly replaced the theater with a shopping mall before a coalition of citizens convinced philanthropist Joseph Zilber to save the space. In the subsequent renovations, craftsmen installed plush red drapery, overhauled the obsolete lighting, and repainted the faded French Baroque gilding of the auditorium, restoring the elegant space to its former glory and inspiring it to get back out on the theater dating scene.
