What a fun experience. Songs from all time periods. Costume changes, and the dancing was just unreal. Kudos to this guy. He has obviously been professionally trained for YEARS to be able to pull this off. Highly recommend if you love the King of Pop.

This was crazy. You had one - way to happy skinny employee telling people to sit wherever you want to. Most of us sat in our assigned seats like we picked out and were told to by others. He really messed up a lot of seats then laughed about it and said ..wow glad I didnt help those people. Pretty bad and unprofessional. The dancers were extremely Great in their percussion! They could be in Vegas. The MJ person not so much. I’m hoping he was just having a bad day. A few songs were really flat while singing and after the mid break he sounded terrible ! He must of eaten something not good for the throat . His wife has a beautiful voice. The place was pretty much on the empty side and I can see why. Tickets were kind of high priced for this act. I Would say if you’ve never been out traveling or to Vegas and seen any other shows in your life than this will be great for you, enjoy.

"Great Show, Learn the Lyrics, Please"

Great high energy show with live band. Michael Knight does a very nice rendition of Michael Jackson. Voice, dancing and moves are on point. There are several songs where the lyrics are obviously off. I don't know if that is intentional or not. That is one of my biggest disappointments of the show. Get the lyrics right. 2nd is selfish, he didn't do P.Y.T. Outside of those 2 things I had a very entertaining time at a great venue.

"MJ-The Illusion...Gotta see this one!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 30, 2025
From vocals to dancing & music it was a fantastic show! It was the closest most of us will ever know of experiencing a MJ concert. Michael Knight does an incredible job on all the dance moves (which were outta this world) & nails the vocals. At one point he made his rounds thru the audience shaking hands which showed the appreciation he has for his audience. There was a bit of a scare when he unexpectedly blacked out & fell from the stage (NOT part of the show-1st time it had ever happened-God bless him). Thankfully he didnt appear hurt too badly but in true professionalism, he continued the show. His entire crew did a GREAT job...don't hesitate to see this wonderful show!

"Michael Jackson's 1992 Dangerous World Tour resurrected! HAVE FUN!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 25, 2025
Throughout the show Michael Knight as MJ said he wanted us to HAVE FUN! This show is as close as you're going to get to experience Michael Jackson before the resurrection. This is a must see for any MJ fan. And for those that are not MJ fans, but appreciate true showmanship, song and dance, you'll love and appreciate this show as well. Although anyone who appreciates true showmanship should be a Michael Jackson fan and vice versa. Michael Knight as MJ did a perfect job moonwalking, doing the toe stand move, the circular and sideways moonwalks and all of MJ's dance moves. I love how MK and crew really worked hard on every detail to recreate Michael's 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Throughout the show MK said he wanted us to HAVE FUN! During "Heal the World" he personally went to each person individually and looked us each in the eye while he shook each of our hands. MK did his best to embody the true spirit of MJ. I felt during "Heal the World" that the real Michael Jackson is looking down from heaven and is aware of this show and is proud that MK and crew are spreading his message of being a champion and never giving up and the importance of children and our childhoods and making the world a better place. MJ's real life hero is Jesus Christ and MJ did his best in life to bring people to Christ. And I felt MJ's presence during "Heal the World" and that MJ is thankful and proud of MK and crew and all of us for all being champions and spreading God's message of peace and salvation through our God-given talents.
