Celebrate the original soul legend in an immersive concert experience that goes beyond imitation and captures the essence of the Godfather’s unmatched legacy with The James Brown Experience. Get involved in the movement as you watch high-octane dance numbers, heart-wrenching ballads, and timeless classics that have inspired generations of musicians and activists alike to get on the good foot and Say It Loud!
In association with The James Brown Family Foundation, The James Brown Experience channels the spirit of James Brown in an authentic and meaningful way.
“This production not only honours James Brown’s extraordinary musical legacy, but it also reflects his creativity, hard work and passion. We are thrilled to see this show bring his legacy and sound to new audiences.” – The James Brown Family Foundation.
Featuring the New Soul Generals, a 9-piece funk orchestra whose musicians have toured with the likes of Jamiroquai, Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse and Martha Reeves, the band bring a power and groove that’s unmatched in the industry.
Taking audiences on a journey and exploring the King of Funk in his own words, there are all the big hits, such as I Feel Good, Man's World, Get Up Offa That Thing, Sex Machine, Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag, and many more.
