Yes, Michael Jackson is a polarizing figure. No one is disputing that. But the impact of his art on so many things—fashion, dancing and, of course, music—is also indisputable. It’s nearly impossible to avoid The Gloved One’s influence in modern entertainment; countless artists acknowledge how they owe their careers to his inspiration.

Another indisputable fact: Las Vegas loves Michael Jackson tribute shows. Before the pandemic shutdown, there were no fewer than four iterations of the King of Pop along the Strip. And one of them, MJ Live, is back and delivering killer versions of most of his classics.

It’s all due to the magic of Jalles Franca, who inhabits the moves, spirit and even voice of the man and the legend. Don’t be surprised to see a high level of excitement during this show; Franca earns it and then some.
