In"Forever, The Best show about the King of Pop", the music is played live, and the artists - including a near look-alike - perform in a two-level set. They perform re-orchestrated Michael Jackson songs, from the days of The Jackson Five ("I Want You Back","ABC","I'll Be There"...) to the more recent"You Rock My World" and"Unbreakable". Songs sung in full or in medley, sometimes in jazzy ("Dont' Stop 'Til You Get Enough"), gospel ("We Are the World") or a capella ("Leave Me Alone") versions. These songs are accompanied by choreographies that scrupulously respect the King of Pop's artistic universe. A universe also present in the costumes (hat, glove, red leather jacket...). For some songs ("Thriller","Smooth Criminal"...), the video clip is re-enacted on stage.
However, we were rather surprised by the absence of"Black or White".
