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.

    Highly recommend!

    by Les on 9/4/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    The musical was absolutely fantastic!!! I was dancing and singing in my seat. There was never a full moment and was so creatively and effortlessly seamless. It definitely captured his persona and told his story at different stages in an honorable way. The cast sounded fantastic as well and there were a few celebs in the audience also checking it out. I would love to see it again… and again!

    MJ- An Awesome Show

    by Royalte1 on 9/4/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    I loved all the different people who played MJ at different stages in his life. The costumes were exquisite…all the ones we remember most. The show gave insight and perspective to MJ’s life.

    Amazing Experience

    by T.B. on 9/4/23James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago

    The show was nothing that I expected. I typically hate musicals but this one made me fall in love with theatre all over again. Everything was well executed : the acting, dancing, and story line was great! I will definitely go again if it comes back. MJ’s characters were great. I loved how they captured MJ’s funny persona.

    Made me cry. Twice!

    by Sarahy on 9/4/23

    I was taken away by this MJ experience. I couldn't help it - I cried twice! The moment Mj and his mom performed "I'll be there", and the Man in the mirror piece brought the tears out.

    A magical night! I felt MJ was really with us!

    by Jeff on 9/4/23

    Venue was terrific and all the performers were dazzling! In addition to the iconic MJ music, the production tells Michael’s story in a way that we don’t typically think about! It was a Wow!

    A very partial experience!

    by Tim on 9/3/23

    Our seats were on the aisle in the upper balcony, and my view of the stage was more than half-blocked by the two people in the row ahead of us! When they put their heads together in conversation I could see nothing. The sight lines were atrocious! At least the music was good.

    Dynamic

    by SRK on 9/3/23

    It was entertaining from beginning to end. Music,singing,dancing were fantastic. Compared to the previous bi-ops I have seen this is right up there with Carol King.

    Best show ever

    by Lifelong MJ fan on 9/3/23

    There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how incredible this show is. The dancing is mind blowing, the choreography is outstanding. Every single cast member is superb. I have been to many Broadway shows and this one is BY FAR the BEST EVER!!!! I might even fly to New York to see it again !!!

    Amazing performance

    by Ecee on 9/3/23

    Roman Banks portrayal of Michael Jackson was nothing short of amazing. He had the voice, the look and those moves! I am actually going to see it again along with some friends who I initially invited to go with me. I'm sure I will find something new to be amazed by.

    Michael Jackson Musical

    by Co on 9/2/23

    I was very much impressed with the play, only wish that Michael could have been there playing his part. The players did an excellent job, and especially the young characters that played all of the parts of Michael Jackson.

    Fantastic production

    by S R on 9/2/23

    The only constructive criticism I have is that it was difficult to hear Michael. I know his speech was soft spoken and childish but maybe he needs a more sensitive microphone
