Michael Starring Ben

Friday, July 3, 2026 - Empire Theatre, Sunderland

Michael Starring Ben reaches Empire Theatre Sunderland on 3 July, midway through a tight early‑July run that also takes in Carlisle and Glasgow. The production, presented by Cuffe & Taylor and James Baker Productions, continues its focus on Michael Jackson’s classic tour aesthetics, with a live band, choreography and lighting tailored to the Empire’s stage. Following previous arena shows in cities such as Newcastle and Liverpool, the Sunderland date keeps the scale substantial while leaning into theatre sightlines before the tour crosses into Scotland the following night.
