I love a good skouspel so I’m super excited to be invited to the opening night of The Michael Jackson History show at the Artscape Opera House on the 19th of this month. The world’s premiere Michael Jackson tribute show, it’s a globe-trotting Aussie production but stars internationally acclaimed MJ-impersonator Dantanio who hails from Kimberley, South Africa, nogal.
The show takes a whirl through the pop king’s entire catalogue. Think Jackson Five’s ABC; all the ‘biggies’ like Billy Jean, Bad and Beat it as well as the later stuff like Black or White and Earth Song. But don’t let me tell you about it. Check out a li’l sample of what you can expect below.
Looks like a jol, right? Gotta say I didn’t expect it to be that good and this preview totally sold me. The moment ‘man in the mirror’ starts belting I was like ‘Oh yes! Flatmate and I are going to be standing up in our seats scream-singing and moonwalking our li’l asses off. (We looove getting carried away with shizz. It’s our jam. In fact, I might even have to find a white leather glove…)
Anyway, whether you’re an MJ super fan or just looking for what’s sure to be a thriller of an evening entertainment-wise (ha ha! See what I did there? #dadjokealert), these tickets are going to be hot and I’ve got THREE sets of double tickets for the opening night (19 Jan 2017) to give away.
Keen to win? To enter, hit me up in the comments section telling me your favourite Michael Jackson song. There’s another way to win too. Get hold of me on twitter saying ‘Hey @lipglossgirl, I’d love to win tickets to the Michael Jackson History show’ and be sure to include a link to this post.
I’ll announce the winners around COB on Friday but if you’d rather not hazard the hand of fate you can buy your own tickets over here.
Good luck guys!
Love, love
Leigh
This competition is now closed. A big congrats to winners Cindy Alfino, Leozette Roode and Cara Glaser.
Lipgloss is my Life 
Dirty Diana, undoubtedly. It is a song about a groupie, what is there not to love?
Ah that has to be You Are Not Alone, thing song gave me feels before I even knew what feels were!!!
I’m embarrassed to say Earth Song used to give me goosebumps 😁😁😁
Congrats! You just won double tix to see the Michael Jackson History show! I’ll be in touch soon x x
Billie Jean gets my feet tapping along …
ooops got so excited i spelt my name incorrect !!!
I’m bad 🙂
Obviously Billie Jean. I’m fascinated to know who’s son the kid is. Did we ever find out?
Good lord. *whose. That’ll teach me not to crack open the wine at 9am.
Oh who doesn’t love “Thriller”. MJ fan for life! Takes me back to my teenage years. Oh the good ol’ days. 😉
Ok, so Lexi is the Ultimate MJ fan. She does allllll the moves on our personal home dance floor (aka the lounge carpet once the coffee table has been moved). She and I obvi need to be there screaming with you. No brainer. 😬
In my over excitement I forgot: Billy Jean. -Always! Ha!
Oh my goodness, I’m a HUGE fan! Favourite song is ‘The way you make me feel’ but really I love them all.
Hey!!! Seems everyone stole my answer 😀 :-P. Billy Jean also my favourite but loved the thriller music video.. So 90’s! And also gotta love the Jackson 5 stuff when Michael was still just a kid.
Hey hey. I have always loved “black or white”, an up beat tune, which you can’t help jamming to, and I love that it pushes boundaries 🙂 Plus, as a kid, I just loved the music video, it was soooo cool, I mean which little girl wasn’t a Macaulay Culkin fan in the 90’s, and when the dad gets blasted through the roof, it was awesome.
Mine’s a soppy one (and a typical Leo answer): “Heal the world” ❤
Earth song!
I’m also a fan of ‘The Way you Make Me Feel’. Pure synthesizer magic and memories of me singing in the lounge with my leg warmers and forcing my little sister to be my back up dancer.
We introduced our kids to Micheal Jackson year or so ago and now we listen to him err’day. It ranges from Bad, Thriller, Earth Song, Remember The Time and I’ve lost count of all the others. 🙂
Congrats girl! You just won a set of double tickets to the Michael Jackson History show. I’ll be in touch soon x x
MJ will always have a special place in my heart but if there’s one song that means the most to me, it has to be Off The Wall. The lyrics, the melody, the beat, the everything! This is my brother’s favourite song of all time and has become somewhat of a life mantra in our family… “So tonight… Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoy yourself… Let the madness in the music get to you/ Life ain’t so bad at all/ If you live it off the wall”
You Rock My World is my favourite song by Micheal Jackson
Because my birthday tends to fall on Friday the 13th quite a few times in my lifetime, I am such a fan of Thriller by Michael Jackson.
Wow!!!! Such a huge fan,my favourite song is Billy Jean,just love it
We are the world , that Michael co write is a sentimental one for me ,than what else but THRILLER !!!!!
You Rock My World is my Ultimate favorite MJ song. coz he still Rocks my world
You Are Not Alone
Billy Jean love it
“The Girl Is Mine”
No song comes close to “Thriller”! 😀
There are way too many favourite songs to choose from. Michael Jackson has to be one of the best artists of all time. I would have to say my fav is Thriller, because I love to do the dance with my arms in the air in the lounge. My husband thinks I’m crazy!
