The Michael Jackson Tribute Show

Hands Down...this is the BEST party I've ever been to!!! For any Prince or Michael Jackson fan, this party is HEAVEN!!!!! The DJ is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! The Howard Theatre was spectacular with the renovations. If this party was every week...I would be there EVERY WEEK!!!! I have been in touch with the dj....I NEED THIS PARTY TO COME BACK!

A terrific evening with MJ music. The performance was engaging and had audience singing along. Impossible to sit still while watching the dancing unfold. The theater setting is intimate and allows for a one on one with the dancers. Please, please bring this show back! Never gets old. MJ music will live on as long as we have shows like this to play Tribute.

I really enjoyed revisiting the Howard theater in DC it was absolutely beautiful inside. I found myself to be a little disappointed at the so called tribute to Michael Jackson in Prince because of the advertisement. A tribute to me is live performances and dance so that's what we expected and that's not what we got. We got basically a club night a DJ featuring Michael Jackson and Prince music all night long with two giant screens showing their videos. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy dancing to all of the music and the drinks were good I just wish they could have really giving a real tribute with music and a live show to the Greatest King of Pop and the Royal Prince of oll time

Overall this was a pretty good event! However, I wish the DJ would have done a little better of a job reading the crowd and not playing obscure songs all the way through when people weren't feeling it. Also, I wish he would have played some of the super hits earlier on. I found myself sticking around to hear the Prince classics that he probably didn't play until the very end, if at all.

Expected concert event only to be night club playing prince and michael

I'm not sure where some of these reviews came from or that picture, but The Ultimate Thriller is amazing!!! I saw them at Red Rocks last summer and it was the best concert I have ever seen. They have a live band, singer and amazing dancers as well. I will see them again when they come back to Denver.

The Ultimate Thriller, which has toured Europe, sold out Red Rocks and are the only full tribute using many of Michaels actual staff are playing Sept 1 at the Hard Rock Live. This is all live and features E Casanova, long thought of as MJ's best interpreter of all of his singing, dancing as well as his looks. This is the show I saw in Germany, with many updates. This Show is Not to be missed....please know that the reviews here are all mixed up.

Show was great! the band is awesome, the dance is great, just overall excellent band!

This show is a new comer to the US and has been put together by top of the line singers, musicians and dancers all choreographed by MJ's principle dancer for over 9 years. This will be as close as you get to seeing MJ Live. The dancing and music is amazing and the production as a whole is amazing.

I love Michael jackson and have seen the tribute band Who's Bad and loved them so i was looking forward to seeing another...There was no band..just pre recorded music. this pales by comparison..so next time its going to be Who's Bad again...so much better

The show starts off as if you were at a live concert with Michael and his backup dancers. It was a lively nonstop show with all your favorite songs. The dancers were very good. Michael made you feel as if you were seeing a live performance of the one and only Michael Jackson. He has truly studied and perfected the skills to bring back memories of a great entertainer. He has the moves and grace of Michael. It was a full house for this event and everyone let their voices and excitement be heard. A very enjoyable concert.

I thought the show was great! Michael Firestone did a great job entertaining the audience and impersonating Michael Jackson. The only thing I didn't like is that it seemed short. I was so into the show, I was sad it ended so quickly. I wished it would have lasted at least 2 hours. Overall great performance that brought back so many childhood memories.

advertisement on loc al tv in Honolulu said live band. but it was all prerecorded except kennys voice

As the show began, we were subjected to the absolute worst opening act I've ever had the displeasure of enduring; a DJ that had absolutely no clue what to say so he improvised, poorly. I thought his onslaught of bad jokes, verbal pauses, and unnecessary crotch grabs would never end. Finally, Hype 5-0 provided a welcomed break, albeit lengthy; but they were pretty good. When they were done, THE DJ RETURNED! Again, bad jokes, unnecessary crotch grabs\u2026you get the point. Finally, he was done and we thought were about to see the main attraction. No, more Hype 5-0! Eventually, the madness ended and the star of the show came out. He hit the stage with huge intensity, and stopped still as a statue at the front of the stage, in the all too familiar Michael Jackson famous pose. After that great photo opportunity, the show went down hill. In my opinion, rule number one that an impersonator must follow is DON T BREAK CHARACTER. Kenny Wizz broke character between every song. Even if his singing was up to par, which it wasn t (even with his very obvious back-up track which he fell behind more than once), going back and forth between the two personalities was confusing and not enjoyable. So, if his singing wasn t great, his dancing has to be, right? Not so much. The dancing was better than the singing but, for 50 dollars per ticket for someone billed as the best MJ impersonator in the world, not nearly good enough. So, if his singing and dancing weren t that great, his show has to be, right? Not so much. Actually, the show may have been the most disappointing part of all. MJ s show was full of special effects, excitement, and most of all, lots of people dancing. Mr. Wizz s show lacked all of the above. There was one moment that could have made for a nice special effect. He did a dance which ended with respectfully laying a traditional MJ type hat and glove on a stool and a video of MJ s life and career started playing. It would have been a really special moment but, THE AUDIO DIDN T WORK! Ugh!!!! Come on, seriously?! You have an arena full of people who paid good money to come see a show, and you can t even get the audio to work on a simple computer based slideshow? Unacceptable! As for excitement, the show provided none. The dancing seemed very much scripted. The backup dancers only appeared sporadically. MJ s stage was full of dancers all the time unless he was doing a ballad in a dark auditorium, and he OWNED THE STAGE. Work on your stage presence and ownership, Mr. Wizz. The only reason we stayed until the end of the show was because I wanted to see and hear Thriller, which turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of the night. So, the show was a giant disappointment and an even bigger waste of money. If there was some way I could get our money back, I would surely like to hear about it. The show was awkward, and it made me feel, at times, very uncomfortable even to be there. If this guy is the best, I won t bother seeing any more. The venue was OK but the sound (which I assume is controlled by the venue) was very subpar. There were numerous microphone shreeks that could have broken glass. Bad, bad show.

The opening act and show was good. We just wanted to see the tribute, so we were impatient. But, the wait was worth it! By the end of the show, we really beleived we were seeing the real Michael Jackson. He came out into the audience and we were all trying to reach him and hi five. I'm really glad we saw the show. It is memorable.

Was a little skeptical at first with the no so good warm up emcee. Warm up dance crew was good. MJ Tribute artist was very good. Overall entertaining evening - over two hours of fun!

only my 5 yo liked it. started late, his voice was terrible.

Aloha all, We attend many concerts, didn't really know what to expect with an MJ Tribute Concert and as longtime MJ fans we were curious. It turned out to be delightful event, with the local Hawaii High-Five Dance Troupe being one of several highlights. They are great dancers/entertainers. Kenny Wiz as MJ was surprisingly credible and the concert got better and better and the final song/dance numbers were superb! I will recommend it to everyone - whether you're an MJ fan, or just curious, you'll probably really enjoy it as we did. Go see this show. I'm giving it 5 stars and a big HANA HOU! JMW

During this tribute to the late King of Pop, there were two videos that were very touching that played in the background. It seemed like something fitting to remember this man that had such a wide appeal and generous heart. I really enjoyed the audience participation parts of the show and when Kenny Wizz would seemingly materialize in the audience. The best parts of the dance routines were the ones that included the backup dancers. I think I would have enjoyed it even more had some of the classic music videos played at any point. Without the audience participation bits I would have been more inclined to give this show an average rating, however it was a ton of fun seeing the audience members on stage and the little surprises on the performances they gave.

Once it got started....because it started late... IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I hope that next year it'll be more organized..... KENNY WIZZ IS THE MAN!!! GONNA GO TO HIS SHOW THE NEXT TIME I'M IN VEGAS!!!!
