Michael Jackson tribute show in which Ben Bowman, backed by a live band, recreates the King of Pop's songs and dance moves.
Ben Bowman brings his Michael Jackson tribute to the Regent Theatre on Saturday 27 February 2027, with the show starting at 7:30pm. He's billed as the UK's ultimate Michael Jackson tribute star, and he's backed by a live band throughout the night.
Bowman has spent years honing a routine that's close to the original, and he describes it as a show that takes the audience back to remember the man, the music and the magic. It runs for around two hours and draws on both Michael Jackson's solo catalogue and The Jackson 5, so you'll hear the early Motown years alongside the later global hits. Among the songs confirmed are Beat It, Billie Jean, Thriller and Man in the Mirror.
It's not just about the singing, though. The show leans on Jackson's iconic dance moves, with elaborate costumes and meticulously rehearsed routines that run through the set. The live band provides the backing, so the sound comes from a full band rather than a track. The production is not associated with or endorsed by the Michael Jackson Estate, and the title Michael is a registered trademark.
