An electrifying tribute concert to Michael Jackson led by CJ, featuring his greatest hits with dazzling choreography and visual effects.
Man In The Mirror comes to York Barbican on Saturday 6 March 2027, a tribute concert to Michael Jackson. It's led by CJ, who's billed as one of the world's greatest Michael Jackson tribute artists, and he's backed by a cast of performers and musicians rather than going it alone. The show is described as a brand-new production, so it's not just a run-of-the-mill tribute night.
The set works through the King of Pop's biggest hits, with 'Thriller', 'Billie Jean', 'Beat It', 'Smooth Criminal' and 'Man in the Mirror' all on the list. It's not just about the songs, though — the production brings in choreography, visual effects, a light show and authentic costumes to round it out. The whole thing runs for about two hours, including the interval, so you've got a full evening of it rather than a short set.
CJ is the focus here, and the show is built around his take on Jackson's style and charisma. With a full cast of performers and musicians on stage with him, it's a proper production rather than a solo act. The choreography and the costumes are part of the draw, and the light show and visual effects are woven in throughout.
