International Michael Jackson Tribute
International Michael Jackson Tribute Moonwalking Across Canada In 2024!
The Michael Jackson HIStory Show touring Canada from June to August 2024. Internationally acclaimed tribute The Michael Jackson HIStory Show has announced it will return to Canadian stages with new star Garth Field at the helm this June to August.
After roaring success and wowing audiences across the globe, the show is set to perform at an impressive 21 venues with the new and updated production created to stun audiences across the nation.
This tour will be the production’s first Australian tour since 2022 when former lead star Dantanio was farewelled at his final performance in New Zealand. The accomplished impersonator toured extensively with the production, however chose to retire from international touring after the close of the 2022 season.
This left producer and director Johnny Van Grinsven with the unenviable task of re-casting one of the most challenging roles in his entire creative roster, which spans 15+ international stage shows and over 120 cast members.
“MJ is a really tricky role. You have to be able to dance and sing and act and hold that character convincingly, and you have to do it all really well, or fans just won’t get on board. MJ fans are very loyal and they want to see their favourite artist represented in the right way, so it’s important we get it right,” says Van Grinsven.
After auditioning thousands of MJ impersonators across seven countries he eventually landed on the impressive Garth Field as the cream of the crop, to take on the immense role going forward. With training in various dance styles including hip hop and tap, a musical background in jazz, his intense love of Michael Jackson and his own successful MJ production running in Europe for the past five years, Field was immediately picked as a promising candidate.
“Garth had the very rare combination of vocal talent, dance talent, the right looks and most importantly the drive and ambition to rise to the role, to work at being the best in the business. Getting all of those things in one person is extremely hard to find but we’re pretty convinced we have the right person and we’re sure that fans of the show will feel the same once they’ve seen him in action,” Van Grinsven said further.
Joining Field on stage on this Aussie tour will be a full new roster of dancers and musicians, to showcase the updated production which still includes all of Jackson’s biggest Pop hits, but now features a brand new redesigned lighting and FX show.
The tour is strictly limited, and tickets are on sale now from venue box offices. For more information head to
