Jackson impersonator on tour
For one night only, Michael Jackson is coming to the Theatre at Westbury, Newsday's Kevin Amorim reports. OK, so maybe it's really Jackson impersonator Joby Rogers, but he's in possession of a signed document that states, "It is the decision I, Michael Jackson, have made to have Mr. Joby Rogers . . . be my official substitute." Rogers has portrayed Jackson since 1984. He brings his "Ultimate Michael Experience" to Westbury April 17. Tickets go on sale at noon Friday through Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
