"Very energetic! He’s got the moves down!"

He definitely had the look & dancing down. But his singing not as good. I think the show would be much better if he didn’t do the Dangerous Tour that no one was familiar with except maybe Michael’s die hard fans. I enjoyed the ones that was his hits. Billie Jean was my favorite. He shook hands in the audience too long. But over all a good show.

An incredible show! You can really tell the work that went into it. I couldn’t recommend this production enough! The music was great, Michael Knight is unbelievably talented- and his entire cast was fantastic. Definitely pay the little extra for the backstage pass- it’s very worth it!

Amazing re-creation of Michael Jackson! High energy, excellent show. He has the look, sound and moves down. Great production along with excellent back up dancers. Raffled off a dance with Michael for one lucky girl also that would be a memorable event for anyone. Even had Slash filling in on guitar.

"Great Time at the MJ The Illusion Show!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

This show is excellent for fans of Michael Jackson. We had great seats and enjoyed this high energy recreation of highlights from the Dangerous Tour. Live band was excellent and added to the show. Whole cast brings all they’ve got to energize the crowd and provide you a memorable MJ Concert experience. I felt the crowd didn’t cheer enough. Put yourself in the moment and pretend for 2 hours that you’re at a 1990 Michael Jackson concert. The more energy you give the performers the more they give back. He came out into the audience and shook hands with almost everyone in the first say 10 rows. Nice touch! VIP packages available to go backstage, but we did not do that. The more you remember the music and know how Michael Jackson was at a concert, the more you’ll appreciate how much work this whole cast does to put on a great performance!
