Jacko lives again at Rotherham's Civic theatre

Jackson Live in Concert will be taking to the stage of the town centre theatre on Friday, May 3.

Michael Jackson is fondly remembered as one of the most profoundly influential artists of all time.

His impressive career spanned almost five decades, and he was continually at the forefront of popular music, being crowned as he is now, the undisputed King of Pop.

Jackson Live in Concert sees a long-time fan named only as Ben recreating the Michael Jackson experience with his stunning rendition of all his favourite songs.

The performer said: “From as far into my childhood as I can remember, I have always been obsessed with Michael Jackson. Everything about the King of Pop mesmerized and enchanted me.

“I used to spend hours poring over album covers, photographs, interviews, videos and anything I could find that was about Michael.

“Even my seventh birthday party was Michael Jackson-themed.

“I always loved to dance and began copying Michael’s signature moves as I dreamt of being a performer just like him.”

Jackson Live in Concert features all-live vocals and music, costumes, and all the signature dance moves associated so fondly with the undisputed King of Pop.

The show will be performed at the Rotherham Civic Theatre on Friday, May 3 at 8pm.

Tickets are priced at £17.50 (£15 concessions) and can be purchased in person from the Box Office in The Rotherham Visitor Centre in All Saints' Square, via phone on 01709 823621 or online at www.rotherham.gov.uk/theatres.
