LEGACY Media Kits are DONE AND OUT!


I’ve spent literally months working on the media kits (also known as press kits) for the LEGACY show. When it comes to the image of LEGACY I am very particular and PICKY on how things should look and feel. Therefore, decided to take on designing the entire kit. I edited the video for the DVD, made all the visuals and wrote it out from the first word to the last period. With the help of some peer editing, we ended with a fabulous product and I am VERY pleased. Also, I found a printing press here in the cities that did an AMAZING JOB (Ideal Printing, St. Paul, MN). It looks extremely professional and I could not be happier with the final product (s). 

I spent about three months working on the design, the concept and content.
The kit itself consists of an eight page, full color pamphlet, DVD cover, DVD printed design and content about the show and “LC Jackson”.
The kit serves as a promotional tool but more so, as a way of pitching the show to venues that book live entertainment.

The content in the pamphlet outlines LEGACY (the show), LC Jackson (The Impersonator) and is complemented with reviews from some of our previous clients.  The pamphlet is full of imagery that captivates the eyes. There are two whole pages dedicated to the spectacle that LEGACY is through a magnificent collage design of photos ranging from the LEGACY debut at the MOA to the most recent summer shows.

The “meat” of the kit is the DVD which has customized video to sample LEGACY at it’s best. I selected the most visually pleasing footage and created a professional DVD with a customized menu and “eye candy” features to make sure the viewer is stuck to the screen wanting more after each video.

I’m excited to see the feedback and reaction of the recipients that will receive a copy.
These efforts have paid off!! I couldn’t be happier!

NOTE:
Photos from the Xavier Tavera shoot were used to create this kit. Xavier did an amazing job and this kit would not be what it is with his stunning work.

The Xavier Tavera Shoot for LEGACY Live

Hello readers! I've not been blogging so much lately because I’ve been extremely busy with work (my day job), daddy duties and LEGACY Live. I’ve had little time to sit down and gather all the things I want to talk about and share.


I’ve done so many things involving LEGACY. I’ve been pushing for growth, networking with people in the entertainment field and learning so much from them.
I have SOOO MANY things I want to share with you all. I won’t do it all in a single blog because it would be a LOOOOONG read. However, I’ll start with the following: The Xavier Tavera Photo Shoot

In August, we did a show at “Heart of the Beast” theatre in Minneapolis and I had the pleasure of meeting a photographer by the name of  Xavier Tavera. Xavier had his 
"LC Jackson & Xavier Tavera"
studio equipment set up upstairs in the theatre where the show took place. He was there doing photography of the different performers and he did a few photos of myself as well as the LEGACY cast that was there that evening to perform.



Xavier is an extremely professional photographer. His work is very interesting and eye-catching. Some of his collections have been featured at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Weisman Art Museum and he has exhibited his work nationally. I learned that some of his work has gotten censored and even banned because of its controversial content. He is true to his work and I admire that in anyone who has the nerve to put something out that might offend some people, yet bring out opposite feelings in others. I Love that.  

After the shoot at the Heart of the Beast theatre we chatted for a little bit and he was interested in knowing more about what I do etc. I told him a quick summary of my story and he asked if he could shoot photos of me (as myself~ Luis) in my “LEGACY” room at home. I suppose he wanted to shoot photos of me in my environment not as “LC 
Jackson” but as Luis. I said I would love to and that’s where that conversation ended. Then I had to leave to perform with my peeps. He too, had to go since he was also doing the shoot for the live entertainment that night.

Shoot at Oxford Studio
A month and a half later we reconnected again and we did a longer shoot at Oxford studio (where we hold rehearsals). He told me he was doing a series on myself which I was surprised by. I didn’t realize he was doing a series on me but then it all made sense! That’s why he wanted to shoot at my home, in my environment. Then it clicked! We had a successful and fun shoot. Two days later, we shot the ones in my downstairs living room with all the costume racks, props, hats, mic. stands~ you name it. He arranged it all very nicely and took the photos. At the last minute, he changed his mind and had me get into hair and makeup. While I got ready, he sat and we chatted for a good hour or so...

Tavera's work is simply jaw-dropping
 We had good conversations about our art, music, family, even Juan Gabriel (a Mexican songwriter/singer). There was everything and it was such a good experience. I was surprised by the fact that he entrusted me with his raw files of the photos he took and said I could use them commercially (in press kits, posters, website etc.). That is something he said he never does (give someone his unedited work) and I was very honored by the fact that he trusted me with his work. I promised I would not release anything he wouldn’t want people to see. I treasure those photos and his work so much that I put the disc in a safe and will have the final drafts password protected on my workstation.

What I got out of this whole entire experience was being reminded that your work has to mean something to not only you but others as well. Xavier said something that will stick with me forever. He was describing what he felt when he saw people at galleries looking at his.  He said:


"The worst thing that can happen is for someone to walk away feeling indifferent about seeing my work”

THAT was priceless to me and it was the biggest lesson/reminder that I took from my time with Xavier. This had more impact on me than all the other tangible things that I got from this experience. I got a reminder of how important it is to convey any kind of emotion in others through your art. If you don’t achieve that you may as well not do it.

You Never Want To Let Go


The more you do, the more you learn. 
The last couple of months I’ve gone from being “overexposed” to people sending me e-mails about where I’ve been.
The truth is, it’s been an insane last couple of months with shows which have all brought great stories and experiences. At one point, LEGACY got so busy that I couldn’t keep up with having a normal life outside of work and weekend shows. Now, things have slowed down but could pick up any second.

During this 3 year rollercoaster of LEGACY I’ve come to really put into perspective what performing really means to me and how much I’m dependent on it in order to keep happy. Gloria (our Producer) once told me that I’m the type of person who needs that artistic outlet in order to keep me happy and focused. At first I took it as “okay.. sure”… When things came to a halt last summer after the success of the shows, I began to feel sad and began doing unproductive things to fill my void. Once we began working on the 2011 series, I was up and running again… I felt happy and completely focused.

Long story short, I’ve come to realize that Gloria was right 400%. I need this. I need this as part of my life. It’s who I am and truly, it’s where I feel most comfortable; on stage. I have friends and many, many acquaintances who I don’t see very much. I’m not a partier nor do I tend to be in the common places people go to socialize. I just don’t; as a matter of fact, the times I do get out it’s because I’m there to entertain others. Once the show is over, I take photos with MJ fans and then I go back to my quiet usualness.

Being onstage is an entire different animal. You are at your most vulnerable state, yet for some of us it’s worth the risk. The more I do this, the more I feel connected with Michael Jackson whom I never met, yet I know so well. I feel at home, I feel at piece and I never feel alone. The more you engage yourself to something that draws you anyway, you never want to let go.

Ready or Not, here I come...

In the last month, there has been piles and piles and piles of work and new experiences.

I’ve had great things happen, some not so great. I’ve had lots of love in my inbox from MJ fans and LEGACY fans too. In the last month I was told I had great showmanship and a week later I got some hate voicemails about how awful a show was and how I do not belong in this business…  I know. Sad right? Not at all. There was over 1,400 people at this event and only one called to complain! HAHHAHA You have to have a sense of humor and take the good with the bad in this realm.

Also, I launched the Spanish LEGACY site. This needed to be done because I always run into people who want more info IN SPANISH. Therefore, that was the quickest, most efficient solution for me to do it.  If you visit the site www.legacylivellc.com you’ll get two options now: English and Español.

One not so good thing is that I had to turn down such a great opportunity.  I was asked to go out to Houston, TX for a show with a few backup dancers but it’s the same weekend that I’m in Chicago. In addition to that, it was on a two-week notice and that’s kind of short notice because I do have a day job. I’m hoping LEGACY will be my full-time work soon. At the rate work is coming in, I do see that in the horizon… I just need that one phone call I’m expecting (this is encrypted talk, by the way- you’ll understand later) ;)

Jack Reuler 
The biggest, newest, “announce-able” piece of information is the very strong possibility of a set of 6, full shows in July, 2012. Mixed Blood Theatre founder and theatre Director Jack Reuler contacted me a few months back in order to bring 6 full BACK TO BACK ( I know… yikes) shows to L’Homme Deu Theatre in Alexandria, MN. After seeing LEGACY perform here in the cities he invited the show to Alexandria! Mr. Reuler invited me to go see a show there and visit the site and it was awesome!  I invited my wife to come along (my stage manager couldn’t make it that day) and after seeing a rock concert there, the Director of L’Homme Deu (Chris Denton) gave us a tour of the theatre and the campus where the LEGACY production would stay during the 6-show run. 
Theatre L'Homme Deu 
I’m super excited!!! I was extremely flattered for someone like Jack Reuler to reach out to me because he liked our work. I must admit that of feels great when seasoned professionals like that take notice; it means you’re doing something right. Not to mention that this would be the largest contract I’ve landed thus far and I’m only two months into running LEGACY as an operating, entertainment business. This is huge for all of us involved.

As of right now, there are no plans of having a FULL-BLOWN production here in the cities for 2012. However, it might make sense to do a set of shows simply because I’ll be working on a new show for L’Homme Deu at the same time. I’d hate to leave the Twin Cities fans out or make them feel they have to drive two whole hours to go see this show. That’s just crazy.

This next month we have a few shows booked (private events for the most part). Also, I will be having a new photo-shoot for what will be the 2012 promotional material which for L’Homme Deu is due in late Nov. I believe.

As you probably noticed, our YouTube channel has been filling up with videos. I’m trying to edit more and more and put it out as I have it ready. It’s very time-consuming and that I do on the little free time I get.

Thank you all for the love, and thanks to the haters that have been calling/e-mailing too. You are all my strength to keep doing what I do.

Not Losing Track.

Last week, a friend convinced me to enter a competition and after a little thinking about it I submitted my application to compete at the House of Comedy at the Mall of America in their talent contest. I got a call saying that I was qualified to enter after they reviewed my work and I was all set to go. I even invited peeps, booked dancers and everything.

This morning, I completely did a 180 and changed my mind on the entire thing. As I’ve said before, I’ve never liked competitions. Competitions are ego boosters and a chance to show who is the best. That is not why I perform. I don’t do it to feed my ego or to try to prove that I’m better than anyone else.
I realized that this morning while looking at some video footage on YouTube of us dancing for the fun of it. No pressure, no watching your back, nothing. It was pure joy knowing that we were performing to share our work with others and not to try to beat the opponents. I don’t want to lose track of why I do this and so I’ve decided to pull from the competition. Call me dumb, I know…

I’m not driven by money or ego boosting opportunities. I want to be sure that when I perform is because it genuinely excites me. I have to stay true to me and my reasons for doing this.

HOT July, HOT Shows!


July has been a SUPER BUSY month for LEGACY Live.
We have been booked every weekend for shows which is quite awesome!!
We've performed at all types of events this month. We were hired to perform at the Twin Cities Open Ballroom Championships, local fundraiser and other private parties. They have all been so much fun!  Each one has their unique story. I love it.
Fundraiser (2011)
The last show for July is on the 30th and that is a large event; probably the largest in a long time. LEGACY Live will be doing a show at the Roseville Oval for a high school reunion. However, this is a crazy reunion. The reunion is supposed to be the largest high school reunion in the United States. The Guinness World Records will be there because they are expecting this event to have between 2,000-5,000 people. This is a reunion for one high school but it will be for a range of years; that’s why they expect so many people. The event will be a tented, outside event. LEGACY Live is performing with myself plus eight backup dancers. It’s going to be crazy in the membrane show!

2011 TCO Ballroom Championships 
Also, this month has been incredible for future shows as well. I’ve scored some pretty big deals for future shows  (which I’ll be talking more in depth about, soon). We’re talking full productions in summer of 2012. It’s pretty exciting stuff!

Next month doesn’t seem as busy but it’s nice because it’s a good time to reset from all the crazy weekends and refocus for what is coming our way.

Also, in July I launched the official YouTube Channel for LEGACY Live which will be FULL of videos ranging from 1998 to 2011. Yes, I am uploading some of the OLD SCHOOL stuff as well. It will be a nice treat for fans to see or relive those old shows as well as the newest ones.

Pretty Big Deal Marketing Dilemma

I've hit a brick wall while preparing for some upcoming work.... 
I'm trying to make my mind on how to exactly  proceed with the marketing of LEGACY Live. I know how to market an entertainment product and sell it but I figured out I’m not good at changing gears with ease when it’s something that could change how people view LEGACY. 
2011 LEGACY Live Marketing 

In my experience, marketing has been the second biggest expense for LEGACY. It’s what exposes the product, the entertainment. In the past, we’ve marketed LEGACY as “LEGACY- A Tribute to the King of Pop”. Simple and clear! Today, It’s LEGACY LIVE Entertainment, LLC. This does not give away what it is. It says nothing about what we do unless you attach an image with it. The other dilemma is: what do I market along with LEGACY Live Ent.? Do I market Luis Castillo as Michael Jackson, The cast of… or a stage name that is easily marketable? i.e.  LC Jackson ? 
The stage name "LC Jackson" is a much easier name to market than Luis Castillo for the work I do.


This is really hard because I've never done this (impersonate Michael Jackson) for BUSINE$$ reasons. I've done this because I'm passionate  about it and it takes me places money can't. When you take that and add having to make "business decisions" puts a lot of pressure on the whole thing. It's not as relaxed...  
2011 LEGACY Live Marketing

I need to make decisions fairly quickly as the clock is ticking and some likely-to-happen, significant projects are headed my way. If I make the wrong choice I could potentially hurt the marketing plan and waste lots of resources. This is where I do my research and see how other “good within reason” MJ impersonators are marketing themselves and if it’s working out for them. If not, I come up with something slick and go from there.

The Child in the Mirror


As I was doing some research on potential dancers I came across a young man by the name of Jayden Cooper. I’ve never met Jayden. I did comment on some photos he had posted on his site and all of this brought me back to my childhood.  You see, Jayden is approximately 13 years old and he is an Michael Jackson impersonator. 


Jayden Cooper

Jayden has many MJ costumes that I have no idea where he got or if he had them made. He has the costumes, the shades, the glove, the socks, the fedora but most importantly, the passion. Through his photos I could tell that this is something he is truly passionate about and that is so neat to see especially in young people. It doesn’t have involve the arts. It could be anything. 
Coming across his page during my research sunk in with me and brought me back to when I was his age. I was doing exactly the same thing. I was dressing like MJ, dancing like him and taking any opportunity to perform. I want the readers of this blog to check his page out and see what I see. If you like what you see, “Like” his page and show him support for his passion. Again, I don’t know Jaden and never spoken to him. 



(eyes blocked for privacy)

What I do know is his passion and I know what he is feeling when is dresses like Michael and dances to Michael. That I do know. I also know the importance of feeling support for what you do especially at that age. He is doing something great and I hope you can see what I see and support this talented young man.

Adam Hester = Genius!

Adam Hester is a professional photographer and videographer that I met via online  three weeks before “LEGACY- A Tribute to the King of Pop” opened in May, 2011. Adam has worked with Target, Olson Advertising and The Be The Match Foundation just to name a few. Obviously he’s got what it takes. He’s got “A” caliber work in his portfolio.
LC in the dressing room on June 3, 2011
Adam wanted to come to LEGACY to film and photograph the behind the scenes footage as a personal project. This sounded like a great idea although it was literally 3 weeks before opening and we had never worked together before. Adam came to one show during the second weekend of LEGACY at SteppingStone Theatre. When I met him, I was looking like Phantom of The Oprah with all this light-base makeup on and tons of eye-shadow. Obviously my makeup wasn’t done if I didn’t look like MJ quite yet; that’s was the first time we met in person. We briefly discussed the show (he had never seen a LEGACY show), his ideas and plans for the shoot that night. I was delighted to see him do what he does best! Then, our stage manager gave him a tour of the backstage area, showed him the exits and entrances to use during the live performance and he seemed super excited!!! Two hours later after the show was done he called it a successful wrap!

LC performing to Billie Jean (June 3, 2011)
Working with Adam was an incredible experience. He was so much fun to make fun with and he quickly learned our atmosphere before the shows. In the dressing rooms, everyone is crazy, having fun, knocking on each other even Adam got knocked-on for something. I can’t remember what we were making fun of him for but he took our jokes very well. He quickly learned the LEGACY love.  It was a super fun experience. I remember being backstage minutes before taking the stage, hearing the rumble of the crowd when he asked: “aren’t you nervous?” I said “not at all, this is fun!” and he gave me the funniest look and said “I’m nervous for you guys!”.. we both laughed and I nodded. Then, after performing Billie Jean, I exited to the right and he yelled “That was amazing! This show is amazing!” . That made me feel very good. Having someone who is a professional who’s worked for big names tell you that about your work makes you feel like you’re doing something right. It really meant a lot to me although at the time we were scarmblingfor the next costume change and I didn;t have time to really "take-in" the moment.
Adam Hester = Genius
When I saw the final product of his work yesterday I was truly STUNNED but not surprised. I knew his work was incredible. This video he created  says SO MUCH without a single word. THAT IS VERY difficult to achieve in an effective, professional manner. It was flawless, clean and effective. Please CLICK link below to see this incredible piece:

LEGACY Live Picks Up Momentum AND THEN SOME...


LEGACY had a wildly successful run at SteppingStone Theatre once more! In a matter of six shows, LEGACY raised over $19,000 and donated 100% of the proceeds! That is LEGACY’S biggest success to date.

LEGACY is now operating as a live entertainment business (LEGACY Live Entertainment, LLC- www.legacylivellc.com). It’s amazing how much work has come our way in just the first month after the shows. We’ve booked shows pretty much every weekend in July. It’s very motivating to have a good start with this new business venture. I admit, it’s a scary thing but as the days go by, I learn new things and I am getting the hang of this.

There has been a large interest in LEGACY since earlier this year and even more after the shows at SpettingStone Theatre.
We’ve had interest from high-profile theatre director who wants to bring a new LEGACY show to their venue in the Summer of 2012. This conversation is still in process. Nothing has been set in stone or on paper for that matter.

Also, there are management groups interested in taking over this show in order to take it to the next level. This means bigger production, bigger audiences, bigger budget etc. It all sounds great right? It is. It could be, I’m sure.  However, as I always say: Everything comes with a price. I’m not talking money or anything like that. I mean the changes that all of this could bring to everyone involved if LEGACY went in a much different direction. It sounds exciting and new but it comes with a price.

It’s a matter of stepping back and really seeing the big picture and deciding what is best for this show in the long run and seeing how that will change the current system.  On the other hand, this could take LEGACY to an entire new level; a level that could take me years to reach on my own. All I know is that I will stay true to myself no matter what. I’ll do what’s best for my family and this show in its entirety. I want to share this show with everyone and I will do my best to reach as many people.

LEGACY Starts off BIG

I usually come in about 3-4 hours early to the venue for hair, makeup and to get “in the zone”.
On Friday night, I arrived to SteppingStone Theatre at about 4:45PM or so. When I got there, costuming, hair and makeup was in full swing taking care of 10+ performers.
The smell of hair product and makeup was all over the place. Hot irons were running and costume racks were full with beautiful, COMPLETE costumes by Lisa Castillo (who I am not related to by the way- I know what you’re wondering). She is my good friend and costumer.  

I went to the SST offices to turn in some paperwork from ticket sales I had made and I was then notified that we had 37 seats left for that night. Not, 337. THREE,SEVEN. WHAT!? I was pleasantly surprised. I knew we would do well. However, I did not think we would have a sold out show on memorial weekend. Usually most people are too busy on vacation or doing “up-north” type of stuff. I was wrong again. People were purchasing all the tickets left so see us dance.

Saturday night was flawless. If you know me, you know I’m very difficult to please when it comes to the stage. I don’t let people get away with half-assed work. If you didn’t know that- tada! Anyhow-  It looked amazing. Costuming, hair, makeup, dance, music, lights, set …everything. I could not have been happier that night. What also made me happy was seeing the happy faces of the cast, the production team and especially the new dancers to LEGACY. It’s not like this was their first performance with LEGACY but it was their first real show and they were super happy. That made my night; seeing them enjoy the fruit of their hard work.

The Saturday 1PM show was pretty full too. It was not officially “sold out” but the crowd was big enough to make the stage shake from the rumble. It was very intense. Again, the show went very well.

LEGACY Live Entertainment, LLC is in full swing. We have four BIG SHOWS left at SteppingStone Theatre and it’ going to be a trip. Especially the Saturday Night show… watch. We’ve gotten so many complements on the costuming this year. Also, the “refinements” we made to make the show non-stop. The only time it really stops is intermission. Other than that, hang on to your panties (if you’re wearing any) because they’ll fall off from the excitement!!!

Lastly,  I want to thank all the fans for the gifts: the hand-made bracelets, stuffed animals, flowers and a very special MJ ring given to me by Shayla- the biggest MJ fan I’ve EVER met. Check out “Michaels Mission” on facebook to learn more about what she does. Shayla- you’re amazing. Much Love.



-Luis


P.S.

Don’t get caught paying full price for the tickets at the door. Get them in advance to save some money. The show kicks ass whether you pay $15 or $12.

BREAKING NEWS: LEGACY's BIGGEST MOVE YET!!!


Here it is... BIG NEWS!!
After much thought, feedback and evaluation, I’ve decided to turn LEGACY into a legitimate business entity that will continue to capture the imagination of audiences everywhere we go, as we pay tribute to the King of Pop: Michael Jackson. “LEGACY- A Tribute to The King of Pop” will be operating under LEGACY Live Entertainment, LLC as of June 6th, 2011. I will be heading this entertainment business with the support of my continuing team members, loving family and friends.  

The show “LEGACY- A Tribute to the King of Pop” began as an idea in a small office where Gloria Gamboa, Marques Mathias and I pitched it to SteppingStone Theatre in 2009. We had no idea where it would go but we knew it was a risk and that risk has paid off ten times more that we all anticipated after months of hard work and dedication. Today, I see all the support and admiration for our work and it would be a complete waste to stop now after so much work and success.
LEGACY has donated thousands of dollars to the community through our work and I couldn’t be more proud of my entire team and the volunteers who helped make this happen.

As we conclude the last set of major shows at SteppingStone Theatre this June, I leave with my hands full of appreciation. SteppingStone Theatre was the key to our success and I couldn’t be more appreciative for the risk they took on this vision. Thank you SteppingStone for opening your doors to this production and I look forward to return to your stage and beautiful theatre in the future. Richard, thank you for giving me the chance to take risks; I’ve learned so much about myself and the process through this experience and we couldn’t be here without your blessing and support. I’m forever grateful for all you and your staff has done for us.


As far as LEGACY Live Entertainment, LLC is concerned; we’re going to entertain, captivate, inspire, pay tribute and KICK MAJOR ASS doing it.

I’m proud to introduce…

Let the LEGACY Ticket Sales Continue!!


Hello all!

Sorry for not blogging in over a week. I have been increasingly busy trying to get designs done for printing, helping take care of a little precious baby and dancing my caboozi off at rehearsals.

Rehearsals are in FULL SWING. We are just about done with all the dances and now it’s about running the show and cleaning it up as we go. It’s hard work but it’s fun; that I can’t deny.


2011 LEGACY Ticket Sample

I have also finished designing the official tickets for the shows and they are at the printers! Many people have been asking me about tickets, tickets, tickets!!!

LEGACY has six shows which have a capacity of 430 seats per show so no worries! I don’t think we’ll run out of seats soon. The online ticket sales are open and we’ve been selling tickets at a good rate. I am comfortable where we’re at right now considering we’re only in early April.

I expect to have physical tickets by April 15th so PLEASE let me know if you want physical tickets in your hand before the show. I am taking orders right now!!! This way we can make arrangements. Also, remember that groups over 25 pay only $10 per ticket instead of $12 in advance or $15 at the door!!!

I am giving free tickets to those who help us raise money by selling candy. I have a volunteer who is selling candy at a high rate. Put it this way: I’ve given her 15 BOXES of candy and they are selling them QUICK. For every five boxes, I am issuing 2 free tickets to any show (that is a $30 value). If you want boxes of candy to sell also let me know and we can make it happen!

Below are some Ticket Notes/Info to keep in mind:

$12 in Advance
