There will only be one Michael Jackson. His music spanned a generation and the legacy of his unparalleled music continues to this day.

Michael starring Ben is the latest smash hit theatre production from renowned producer James Baker and features the UK’s ultimate Michael Jackson tribute star, Ben Bowman; who not only looks and sounds like Michael Jackson, but has honed his routine so impeccably that audiences believe they are watching Michael Jackson himself.
Michael starring Ben creates the most authentic, lively and powerful re-creation of the iconic superstar you will see anywhere.
