Brazilian impersonator Rodrigo Teaser, who was voted “#1 Michael Jackson Impersonator” by MJVibe readers two years in the row, will be touring the US for the first time with Lavelle Smith Jr, Kevin Dorsey and Jennifer Batten.
On a three tour dates called “Michael Lives Forever”, Rodrigo will be bringing Michael’s longtime choreographer Lavelle Smith, Michael’s backup singer Kevin Dorsey, followed by guitarist Jennifer Batten who fans will recognize from years of playing with Michael
About Rodrigo, Jennifer Batten said, “He makes a presentation that Michael himself would be proud of. He takes every aspect of the show super seriously and expects the same from the crew and performers.”
Adding to that, backup singer Kevin Dorsey said, “Because Rodrigo exudes and takes so much pride in the way that he presents himself, as he pays homage to The King of Pop.” While chorographer Lavelle Smith says that when watching Michael Lives Forever, “You feel transported to each Michael Jackson era when you see Rodrigo perform all the hit songs.” When asked about the experience creating Michael Lives Forever, Rodrigo said, “I’m not an artist who discovered he could imitate Michael. I’m a fan who, by imitating his idol, discovered that he could be an artist. And I will be forever grateful to him for opening my eyes to his art. I don’t want to take his place. Neither I nor anyone else can replace him. That’s why this show is more than a show, it’s a celebration.”
Lavelle and Jennifer have been already working with Teaser the last few years for the same tour in Latin America. Here below the dates for the tour and more might be added soon.
