About

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!

The James Brown Experience channels the spirit of James Brown's life as a Civil Rights campaigner, funk and soul icon, business leader and the eponymously named ‘Hardest Working Man in Show Business’. The production features a full cast and 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, The James Brown Experience explores the life and soul of the King of Funk in his own words. Featuring 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, the music in this show is unrivalled by any other.

“If you ain’t dancing, we doing it wrong...” There’s a reason he’s called the hardest working man in show business: with a vast back catalogue of 74 albums and 144 singles, there will be songs you know and some that you don’t, but we won’t stop working until there’s a smile on everyone’s face.

“The singing, live band and full performance was fabulous from start to finish”.

“The James Brown Experience was an absolute blast!”

“A feel-good show with a very talented cast!”
