About

The music. The moves. The icon. Now, the unparalleled artistry of one of the greatest entertainers of all time comes to Chicago first as MJ, the Tony Award®-winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own. Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. MJ is startin' somethin' as it makes its North American Tour premiere at the James M. Nederlander Theatre in August 2023.

    It was fabulous

    by Alfie on 9/5/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    I had perfect seats in the first balcony center stage. I loved it so much I've purchased tickets again to see it in St. Louis. It was phenomenal!

    by Jess on 9/5/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    The music was great, the story was in line and the dancing was the best. We had a great time which brought back all the memories of the great Michael Jackson. It was good, I plan to see it again.

    Absolutely amazing!

    by Joe and Karen! on 9/5/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    The music and choreography were phenomenal, and the 3 performers who were MJ were each terrific. Standing ovations during the show, and of course a lengthy on at the end.

    Worthy of the King!

    by Opinionator on 9/5/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    Unbelievable show. I've seen the Las Vegas One show (which I loved), but that one was more about the spectacle. MJ has no shortage of that, but it also tells the story of the Michael Jackson legend very beautifully. Do not hesitate to catch it if you have the chance to, especially if you're an MJ fan.

    I've seen a lot of musicals in my 35 years here in Chicago, but I would have to say that this was one of the best productions that I have seen and probably my favorite...and both times that I saw it.

    Best Musical Ever

    by Dr. Bianca Clark on 9/4/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    I don’t even know where to begin! The MJ musical was the BEST musical I have ever seen! The actor Roman W. Banks was phenomenal as MJ, he deserves an award! He nailed this performance down to a “T”, from the moves, dancing, singing, jokes, literally EVERYTHING! I was so in awe, so impressed! I felt like I was watching Michael. The entire cast was magnificent. This musical brought me so much happiness, peace, and tears! When it comes to your city you have to see it! Please do not miss out! Congratulations to the entire cast on this mind blowing production!
