The music and dancing of the “King of Pop” will be front and center stage at the Palmdale Amphitheater as the City of Palmdale presents the Michael Jackson Tribute “I Am King” on Saturday, Aug. 21 as part of its summer concert series.
Featuring Michael Firestone as Michael Jackson singing and dancing live while backed by an incredible cast of talented musicians and Broadway and Las Vegas dancers, the performance will be a musical and visual journey into the world of the King of Pop.
