The 1 is for the whole team that showed up. After each song, “MJ” needed a break to catch his breath and a drink of water. There was one guy on the side of the stage that was up dancing and doing costume changes. We were not sure if he was an under-study or if he just comes everyday. In addition, “MJ” could not hit the correct pitch on all the songs. Several people were filming the whole show. So, just YouTube it to see what you think. This is a NO for any serious Michael Jackson fan.

First off I am not a big fan of Michal Jackson. I only say that to say this, I would see it again if it's still here the next time I'm Branson. The performance is excellent and the show is full of energy. It has a very professional look. The effects are minimal but used well. The show performed with equal enthusiasm whether the audience is large or small. Clearly a lot of work has been put into this production.

Was a little skeptical at first since I actually saw Michael Jacksons BAD tour live in 1988. The first few songs were hard to get into mainly because I didn't know them. After those it picked up and I really enjoyed the show. Michael Knight did a great job both singing and dancing. His voice is lower but still really good. The only thing I wasnt crazy about was the back up dancers and the female singer. She definitely didn't have strong vocals. Attendance appeared to be low and I would have expected it to be higher than it was. Didn't like the way they had to keep trying to make up for the low attendance by selling raffle tickets, 15 min back stage passes, etc.

From start to finish Michael Knight as Michael Jackson NEVER disappoints! He brings the legendary King of Pop to life with incredible precision and accuracy recreating Michael’s Dangerous Tour! Michael’s talent, the amazing band, the engaging dancers will have you on the edge and jumping out of your seat! It’s unlike anything you’ll see in Branson. All this talent is complimented by pyrotechnics, fog, fire, videos and spectacular lights. Don’t miss this show!!!
