A Michael Jackson tribute show concert. Michael dances centre-stage with four backup dancers and a five-piece band.

Honouring the one and only King of Pop in electrifying style in Wellington.

Celebrate the creative genius and unsurpassed musical talent of the King of Pop. The Michael Jackson HIStory Show promises to be a riveting live performance. The full-scale production at St James Theatre pays tribute to one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. The stellar live band, choreographed dancers, and authentic costumes make this performance all the more impressive.  

Garth Field is at the centre of this performance. He’s often described as electrifying in his role as Michael. He’s a triple-threat performer with impeccable vocals, dancing, and acting. 

The show tracks Michael’s journey from his early days as a member of the Jackson 5, to his groundbreaking theatrics in the 80s. It goes on to acknowledge his continued domination of pop culture into the 21st century. Hear all the hits like Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, Beat It, Don’t Stop 'til You Get Enough, They Don’t Really Care About Us, and many more.
