BEAT IT!

“BEAT IT! – The hit show about the King of Pop!” is a spectacular live show experience celebrating the most successful entertainer of all time, whose music will never be forgotten. The approximately two-hour tribute traces Michael Jackson’s incomparable solo career through spectacular visuals, presenting 20 of his greatest hits live, including “Billie Jean”, “Smooth Criminal”, “Thriller”, “Man In The Mirror”, “Black Or White” and, of course, “Beat It”. 

“This is one of the best Michael Jackson shows I’ve ever seen,” enthused Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson immediately after the world premiere on 29 August 2018 at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. This was followed by record-breaking tours from 2018 to 2020 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with more than 250 performances – most of them completely sold out – and a wave of boundless enthusiasm from audiences and the press, before the tour unfortunately had to be cut short in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Following its successful return to the stage in spring 2026 after a six-year hiatus, with 85,000 attendees across 44 cities, the legendary production will go on tour again in 2027 in a spectacular new version featuring a fresh cast.

“BEAT IT! – The hit show about the King of Pop!” brings the exceptional artist back to life in a unique stage show. More than 250,000 enthusiastic spectators, concert halls sold out time and time again, and a seal of approval from his brother speak for themselves: Musical producer Oliver Forster’s hit show has been giving audiences goosebumps night after night, and not just die-hard Michael Jackson fans. “BEAT IT!” is a perfectly choreographed stage spectacle featuring outstanding dancers, virtuoso musicians and a lead performer who is so close to the original that it regularly takes the audience’s breath away. From the very first note, the energy is palpable. By the time “BEAT IT!” kicks in, no one can stay in their seats. The urge to move is simply too great as soon as lead actor Garth Field slips on his silver glitter glove, adjusts his hat and performs the moonwalk in typical Michael Jackson style. It almost seems as though the “King of Pop”, who died in 2009, has risen from the dead and returned to the stage for one night only.
