Wendel Gama as Michael, a brilliant rock band accompanied by horns and strings, a dance crew with original choreography and sophisticated special effects bring MJ's greatest hits back to the stage. Included: the unforgettable guitar solos by Jennifer Batten - the legendary guitarist who accompanied MJ on all his major tours for many years. "Billie Jean", "Beat it", "Bad", "Black or White", "Man in the Mirror", "Smooth Criminal", "Thriller" - it wasn't just his countless number one hits that made MJ the undisputed "King of Pop". His attitude, his exalted music videos and his exuberant live performances were in a class of their own and virtually created an art form in their own right. The interplay of singing, music, dance, state-of-the-art technology and energetic entertainment was probably never more perfectly staged than with him. "ONE NIGHT OF MJ" once again immerses the audience in the magical atmosphere of MJ's extraordinary shows. The unique arrangements are faithfully brought to life by the live band. A small but majestic live orchestra additionally underlines the grandeur of the unforgettable compositions.
Wendel Gama from Brazil is one of the world's most famous Michael Jackson impersonators. With over four million TikTok followers and a voice that comes incredibly close to the original, he captures the essence of MJ. Every move, every gesture and every dance step is a respectful and passionate tribute to the great entertainer.
The legendary guitar riffs and solos could hardly be performed more authentically than with Jennifer Batten as lead guitarist. For almost ten years, she performed for and with Michael Jackson on his major live tours around the world. She first appeared on the "Bad World Tour" in 1987, followed by the "Dangerous World Tour" (1992/93) and the "HIStory World Tour" (1996/97). The last tour alone took them to 35 countries on five continents with 82 concerts. Looking back, Batten confirms: "The time with MJ was the best time of my life, especially because I was already a fan of his music."
She says of the "ONE NIGHT OF MJ" show: "Audiences love his music - but many of his fans have never had the chance to see Michael live. That's why I love this fantastic show. Interpreting Michael's songs with strings and trumpeters is downright epic. I'm sure Michael would have loved that. He was always keen to give the audience a wow effect."
"ONE NIGHT OF MJ" is not just a live musical spectacle, but a fantastic journey through the magical world of Michael Jackson - true to the original, full of energy and thrilling. The fast-paced, loud, shrill and at the same time emotional, honest and humble tribute to an unforgotten icon.
