Beat it!

The hit show about the King of Pop returns!
Music, magic, moonwalk: the superlative show featuring Michael Jackson's greatest hits

„BEAT IT! – The hit show about the King of Pop! is a spectacular live show experience about the most successful entertainer of all time, whose music will remain unforgettable forever. The approximately two-hour tribute traces Michael Jackson's incomparable solo career in spectacular images and presents 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. After the world premiere, the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper ran the headline: „It almost seems as if the King of Pop has risen again.“ The result was record-breaking tours in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from 2018 to 2020 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 ended prematurely in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. And now, six years later, in spring 2026, the legend returns to the stage in a new version with a new cast. Tickets for next year's comeback tour are now available at all known advance booking offices and at www.beat-it-show.com.

With more than 500 million records sold and over 200 completely sold-out stadiums on his three solo world tours, Michael Jackson became the biggest and most successful pop star in music history. He achieved worldwide fame as a child, as a member of the legendary „Jackson 5“, and made his definitive breakthrough with the release of the best-selling album of all time: „Thriller“. Even 16 years after his death, Michael Jackson, the „King of Pop“, lives on in the hearts of his millions of fans for all eternity. And „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, rows upon rows of completely sold-out concert halls and a knighthood from his brother cannot lie: the successful show by musical producer Oliver Forster gave audiences goose bumps night after night, and not just die-hard Michael Jackson fans. „BEAT IT!“ is a perfectly choreographed stage spectacle with outstanding dancers, virtuoso musicians and a lead actor who is so close to the original that it regularly takes the audience's breath away. From the very first note, the spark is ignited. With „BEAT IT!“, no one can stay in their seats. The urge to move is 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 if the „King of Pop“, who died in 2009, has been resurrected and returned to the stage for one more evening.
