Award-winning Michael Jackson tribute show led by Ben Bowman, with a live band, recreating the King of Pop's hits and dance moves.
Michael Starring Ben comes to the Hexagon Theatre on Sunday 17 October 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a Michael Jackson tribute show fronted by Ben Bowman, who's backed by a live band throughout the night.
Bowman comes from the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, and he's built his reputation on how closely he matches the King of Pop in both voice and movement. He's spent years honing the routine to the point where audiences feel they're watching Michael Jackson himself. The award-winning production leans on that likeness, alongside the costumes and the dance moves, to recreate his stage presence. The live band handles the hits that made him a star, including 'Thriller', 'Billie Jean' and 'Beat It'.
It's a full-band show rather than a playback set, so you'll hear the music played live on the night. The focus is on the songs and the dance routines that defined his career, with the costumes and choreography working together to bring back that particular stage energy. If you're taking anyone younger, keep in mind that under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult over 18.
