CJ’s voice isn’t quite as beautiful as Michael’s but the rest of his performance is top notch. Man in the Mirror’s four piece band led by Music Director Nic Southwood are in support with four dancers led by Holly Harrison who is also the choreographer.  The visuals here are dominated by the solo figure of CJ as Michael Jackson and there is sensational lighting, back drop video and onstage fireworks.

Michael Jackson has a huge backlist but I hope your favourites will be there. It is so nice to see these live onstage and not controlled by a company owning the rights.  “Bad”, “Billie Jean”, “Earth Song” and “Man in the Mirror” are mine.

The first song is “Bad” with CJ wearing one white glove and showing us Jackson’s iconic dance steps.  A red lit backdrop will see marching soldiers with stamping in the dance moves and video of a helicopter.  In a gold shirt, CJ will sing, “Wanna Be, Startin’ Somethin’ ” with fantastic footwork and showing off his white socks.  CJ tells us that “Michael was the greatest entertainer who ever walked on earth”. There is purple lighting and silver beams of spot light for “Just Another Part of Me” with more slidey shoes footwork.
