Michael Jackson’s relationship with Madame Tussauds spanned a quarter of a century. His first sitting in 1984 led to subsequent sittings and a visit to the London attraction by “the gloved one” in 2005 with his children. Jackson has been sculpted six different times and is the most widely exhibited figure in the Madame Tussauds worldwide empire.
In recognition of the 40th anniversary of Michael’s solo career and to celebrate the launch of its MJ Experience traveling exhibit, on Sunday Jan. 22, Madame Tussauds will host 20 dancers (ages 13-18) dressed in MJ-style costumes dancing to a medley of his hits outside of the attraction. Additionally, following the performance, Madame Tussauds will unveil a two-foot tall wax replica of Jackson’s iconic glove.
