Kenny Wizz was just twenty when Michael Jackson’s career exploded with the release of the pivotal album Thriller. During that time, Wizz’s strong resemblance to Jackson heralded the start of a long career as a conduit for Jackson music. His regular performances in Atlantic City gratified audiences and allowed him to perfect his act. After tours in Europe and Asia, Wizz settled in Las Vegas where his show was signed for eleven years at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. The concert’s success is the product of twenty-five years’ dedication from celebrated Las Vegas performer, Kenny Wizz, to championing Jackon's genius and persona. Shattered by Jackson’s death in June, 2009, he closed his own act down despite calls from fans to continue. “My decision [to return] was definitely about giving back to fans,” he said. Wizz feels Jackson’s death has made concert-goers more critical of his performances. “It’s more difficult because my act is observed through a microscope now he’s gone. People want the closest thing possible.” The rampant popularity of recreation concerts is driven by their ability to transport a person to a time and place they once loved. It’s a founding principle of the success of HIStory II’s producer Showtime Presents, the producer behind the immensely popular concert series Queen – It’s a Kinda Magic. The MICHAEL JACKSON HIStory II tour 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.
