This experience was absolutely amazing, if you do not experience this while you're in Branson you are completely missing one of the best performances, productions, choreography, band, dancers, singers, and all around experience. Michael Knight does the best Michael Jackson I have ever seen. His knowledge and capability of moving like Michael Jackson sounding like Michael Jackson and just making you feel like you're at a Michael Jackson concert is uncanny. I would highly recommend this to anybody, they make it so much fun, he comes through the audience several times and just makes it a great experience.

Saw the concert back around Thanksgiving. The show was amazing! I also had a great time meeting Michael Knight (The guy who played Michael Jackson) as he was so sweet and kind towards me and my family. Would recommend this show, and the VIP passes!

"The show was nothing less than a true thriller if you’re in ranch and don’t miss out on an opportunity to see this Broad"

I only rated this a five star because there wasn’t an option to rate it any higher. Michael was absolutely phenomenal. There were times that I actually felt like I was watching Michael Jackson perform live. It was amazing just how well Michael sounded and mimic the moves of Michael Jackson. I would highly recommend the VIP package that allows you to go backstage after the show to meet Michael and hear his story and to learn some of the history that brought this show to existence it is well worth their time and the cost which I thought was very very reasonable. We’ve been coming to Branson for over over 20 years and I would rate this show as one of the top five shows we have seen over the years. So without a doubt, I would highly highly recommend this show to anyone that is a Michael Jackson fan or if you just appreciate pure dance and movement talent because Michael is absolutely fantastic.

We live in Branson and this is my favorite show by far. I have seen it multiple times. Took our 4 year old grandson, who wore a "Thriller" costume, and he was overwhelmed with joy and excitement and MJ interacted with him so sweetly! I just can't say enough about this show. Any age person would like, if not love, the show. You rock Michael and your dancers and band are totally fantastic. Love that your wife is a big part of the show.
