Abstract: For the 100th edition of MJ Studies Today, Kerry Hennigan takes a look at the iconic imagery presented by Michael Jackson on his Dangerous World Tour, in particular his spring-board entrance onto the stage in a shower of sparks at the commencement of each show. With the Dangerous concerts, Jackson set a precedent in spectacular stunts for his own performances which carried right through to his plans for This Is It, and which have now been replicated in the Broadway and touring productions of MJ: the Musical.
