Rabat’s Royal Theatre will host This is Michael, a live tribute show to Michael Jackson, on Oct. 29, bringing one of the world’s most recognizable pop repertoires to Morocco’s newest cultural landmark.
The show is scheduled for 8 p.m. at the theatre in the Bouregreg Valley, according to Events.ma. The ticketing page lists numbered seating and shows prices reaching 1,500 dirhams.
The production is expected to revisit some of Jackson’s best-known songs, including “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” “Beat It” and “Smooth Criminal,” through a stage format built around live music, dance, lighting and visual effects.
The performance adds to the early programming of the Royal Theatre of Rabat, which opened to the public in April 2026 after years of construction. The venue was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and includes an 1,800-seat theatre, a 7,000-person open-air amphitheatre and an experimental performance space.
Zaha Hadid Architects describes the building’s sculptural form as inspired by the Bouregreg River between Rabat and Salé. Its opening has positioned the venue as one of Morocco’s most prominent new cultural sites and a platform for large-scale international productions.
The Michael Jackson tribute is part of a wider run of global-style shows now entering Rabat’s cultural calendar as the city seeks to expand its role as a performing arts destination.
