Description

AURORA, IL — Michael Jackson's voice — or at least one shockingly similar to the King of Pop's — will fill The Piazza entertainment venue in Aurora Saturday when impersonator Michael Firestone visits with his "I Am King: The Michael Jackson Experience" show. Starting at 7 p.m., the concert, taking place place at 85 Executive Drive near Fox Valley Mall, will be complete with costume changes, a live band and professional dancers from Broadway and Las Vegas. "Bad," "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Man in the Mirror" are among the songs by the late star slated to come to life once again. Michael Jackson's former touring guitarist, Jennifer Batten, will also be part of the Aurora show Saturday, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Lookalike Michael Firestone nails the part right down to the King of Pop's signature kicks and spins," the show's description reads on the website. "And his voice is so shockingly similar, you'll think he's lip-syncing — but he's not." Firestone was one of two people chosen as official impersonators for the Michael Jackson Laser Spectacular shows in theaters and casinos across the country and Canada, according to the singer's website. For a taste of the show, or perhaps for those on the fence about tickets, videos of Firestone performing can be found on the "I Am King" website. Tickets to the show — which are available for people ages 21 and older — cost between $22 and $45 and can be purchased here. Doors to the show open at 7 p.m., and the concert is expected to start at 8:30 p.m. Food and drink will be available for purchase from The Piazza's menu.
