I have to admit not being sure what to expect. I like the music of the King of Pop and remember avidly awaiting the new releases of his singles and videos on Top of The Pops throughout my childhood and teenage years, however I would not consider myself a super fan so was a little apprehensive in case I didn’t really know the music as well as I thought I did!
I need not have worried, from the outset the songs were recognisable and the 4 lead vocalists were all stunning in their portrayal of many of the most well known and certainly many of my favourite tracks. The stage setting was simple which ensured that it did not detract from the dancing and singing which was the main focus of the show. Having said this, there was a mixture of small scale pyrotechnics and video montage which added to the atmosphere.
Adrianna Louise’s version of “The Way You Make me Feel” definitely rocked the house and showed the strength of her voice.
The more rock style of Rory Taylor’s voice perfectly suited popular classics such as Dirty Diana, whilst also showcasing his softer items with a heartwarming version of “She’s out of My Life”.
The show for me was stolen by Shaquille Hemmans and Eddy Lima. Shaquille’s range of voice perfectly suited the range of classic songs he sang and his mannerisms were a tribute to the talents of Michael Jackson. Eddy Lima’s dancing, particularly for Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal and Thriller had the audience on their feet- both joining in and in appreciation. His uncanny resemblance to Mr Jackson also helped to wow the audience.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the show and felt like I was waiting for each song as if it was the release of the videos and singles from my youth.
