THE "Forever Jackson" experience, which is billed as "the ultimate Michael Jackson stage show", will thrill an audience at Tewkesbury's Roses Theatre.

The King of Pop is no longer with us, but thanks to the new "The Legacy of a Legend" set, his spirit will live on with a stunning tribute show on Friday, February 5, at 7.30pm.

A spokesman said: "Crowned Britain’s number one UK Michael Jackson production at the UK National Tribute Awards, critically-acclaimed live concert show Forever Jackson is coming to town with its brand-new tour for 2016, Legacy of a Legend.

"Star of the show, Robin Parsons, has even had the honour of performing before Michael Jackson. He performed at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles as part of the pop legend’s lavish 45th birthday celebrations."

Show producer Pete Tobit promises that, thanks to "an incredible attention to detail", fans of the King of Pop are in for "a jaw-dropping, ultimately authentic experience".

He said: “Not only do Robin’s 100 per cent live, pitch-perfect vocals sound precisely like Michael, the resemblance is uncanny.”

Robin is transformed into Jackson thanks to a three-hour process using only theatrical make-up; and both he and the tightly-choreographed accompanying all-girl dance team Hip Hop Pop are attired in costumes that "meticulously recreate Michael’s imminently flamboyant stage costumes".

Mr Tobit added: “Every little detail, from his distinctive dance moves right down to Michael’s smallest mannerism is reproduced absolutely faithfully.

“Featuring a superbly-talented live band, special effects and unique projections, Forever Jackson is a visual and audio treat. Its lavish, brand-new Legacy of a Legend tour sees the production destined to become 2016’s stage show of the year.”

The award-winning production takes audiences from Michael’s early days with the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons through to his rise to become The King of Pop. All the million-selling hits feature including: Thriller, Beat It, Bad, Billie Jean, Man In The Mirror, Smooth Criminal, Can You Feel It and many more.
