A musical biography of Michael Jackson's life will be staged at Baycourt on Wednesday. After a successful run in 2011 the musical biography titled Michael Jackson HIStory will return with brand new, reinvented production, HIStory II.

Critics praised the 2011 production nationwide as a thrilling example of live entertainment. Online public
response erupted with praise for the show and a social media outcry of fascination with the show's star, Kenny Wizz.

Since the shows launch 2011 Michael Jackson fans have called for the show to return. 

This brand new production is set to raise the bar once more. HIStory II brings to the stage a level of production that will exceed expectations. The show will also feature the addition of new songs, dances and ground breaking moments.

The tour, entitled HIStory II, is an opportunity for Jackson fans to witness a concert they may never have experienced in their lifetime, or to relive memories they were lucky enough to make. In all, HIStory features over twenty songs performed live by Kenny Wizz.

This seasoned performer isn't simply riding the surging wave of Jackson's popularity. HIStory is the result of more than two decades perfecting "the art of sharing MJ". 

Wizz is known to be one of the best Michael Jackson impersonators in the world.
