Presented by Moonwalker Entertainment and crafted by writers and directors Paul Rizzo and Hayley Priscilla, this powerhouse pairing brings two world-class productions that have toured everywhere from Australia and New Zealand to Dubai, Asia and even Las Vegas.

Kicking things off is Moonwalker: Michael Jackson’s HIStory, a spectacular two-hour live show that dives deep into MJ’s legendary discography. Expect the big moments — Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Thriller — brought to life with a full live band, professional dancers, killer visuals, iconic choreography and era-perfect costumes. It’s the closest you can get to seeing the King of Pop in his prime.

Then strap in for a very different kind of pop takeover as Spice Girls Forever bursts onto the stage in a full-throttle celebration of the biggest girl group on the planet. With dazzling costumes, high-energy choreography and a multimedia spectacle built for maximum nostalgia, it’s everything you loved about Baby, Ginger, Scary, Sporty and Posh — wrapped in glitter, girl power and certified bangers. Wannabe. Stop. Spice Up Your Life. They’re all there.

The best part? You don’t have to choose. You can relive the moonwalk and the zig-a-zig-ah in one weekend. As the team behind the shows put it, “It’s history and herstory all in one night.” And honestly, they’re not wrong — Michael Jackson reshaped pop culture, and then the Spice Girls rewrote the book again with empowerment, attitude and absolute chaos. We’re still preaching “Girl Power” over 20 years later!

Whether you’re an MJ purist, a diehard Spice stan, or someone who simply thrives on a bit of theatrical excess, this double-header is primed to hit every nostalgia receptor in your body at once.

This is the ultimate celebration of two generations of pop royalty — loud, proud, and larger than life. Don’t miss it.
