MJ Live – Promotional Video

Celebrated impersonator Michael Firestone has moonwalked for miles in the King of Pop's shoes, bowling over audiences across the globe with his extravagant, spot-on salute. But he didn't just stumble into this career by chance. He spent his childhood singing along to CDs and studying slow-motion videos of Jackson's dance moves with the eye of an obsessed football coach. And his work paid off. Firestone's previous tribute show, Moonwalker: The Reflection of Michael, earned the Reel Award (the tribute-artist industry's top accolade) for "Best Produced Show of 2011." With his latest endeavor, MJ Live, Firestone is poised for another victory.

His voice deftly rises and falls through every nuanced "he-he" and "shamone," while his feet mirror each famous dance move impeccably. Throughout MJ Live, Firestone spans four decades of Jackson's record-breaking career, backed by a full live band, a dazzling light show, multi-media projections, and synchronized choreography from eight backup dancers. Changing from the glitzy jackets to the torn-collar white T-shirt, he delivers a set stacked high with hits pulled out of MJ’s wunderkind days in The Jackson 5, his Thriller zenith, his Bad and Dangerous eras, and his hyperbaric epilogue. With muscular hooks and tectonic grooves, the show gets audiences as close as they can to the legendary juggernaut without having to hang out with Macaulay Culkin.
