About

MJ the Musical is the four-time Tony Award-winning showcase of Michael Jackson’s unparalleled artistry. The dazzling jukebox musical centers around the construction of 1992’s Dangerous World Tour, recreated by the Tony Award-winning choreography of Christopher Wheeldon. In total, 25 of Michael Jackson's most electrifying hits are woven into a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage. The musical took Broadway by storm when it premiered in February 2022, with The Washington Post calling it “a riveting, adrenaline rush of a show.” MJ has been nominated for 10 Tony Awards and one Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. One of the hottest tickets on Broadway, MJ has grossed over $142 million and been seen by more than 975,000 theatergoers.

    Best show on Broadway!

    by Myles Frost #1 Fan on 12/16/22

    There’s a reason why this show won 4 Tony Awards and is a constant sold-out despite being on the higher-priced side. The book is amazing and is a great tribute to MJ and his artistry. Would make you cry several times and also thoroughly engaged, never a dull a moment and I’m always amazed by the fantastic set design and stunning outfits. We are going back for front row a third time and undoubtedly will be back for more! Also recommended it for every single one of our friends & family. It is a MUST SEE!

    I LOVED IT

    by J. B. on 12/8/22

    I cried 3 times watching this. The performance is beautiful. I love the chromatography, the art, the hard work the put on and the background. Amazing amazing amazing. I will go again to bring my Micheal Jackson fan mother. I know how much she loves him as much as I do. I hope everyone gets to see this awesome performance. Enjoy!

    Lynn Nottage’s book is all over the place

    by J. F. on 11/11/22

    I’m a big fan of Lynn Nottage’s work as a playwright. “Ruined” is a dramatic masterpiece. However, her writing for “MJ” is sloppy and has a very weak narrative. The performers are fantastic. The production is wonderful. Unfortunately, the writing kills what could be a great show.

    Spectacular show

    by M. on 9/10/22

    This show is such a delight to see. The dancing, and singing are beyond incredible. The performers take the staging to a whole new level. For those who are not crazy about jukebox musicals, this one is different as it is staged as MJ giving a documentary interview with his greatest hits intertwined. Definitely a must see production, as you will leave the theater absolutely captivated by the show.

    Such a helluva tribute to a musical genius gone too soon !

    by Peechez on 8/31/22

    I heard so much about MJ LIVE and the fact that a Baltimore native was the star attraction having won an Emmy was a must see. It did not disappoint. So nice I am heading back to NY in November to see it twice.

    PHENOMENAL!!!

    by SDM on 7/19/22

    Michael Jackson is alive! That is the feeling I had while watching MJ the Musical. I cannot believe that there is not more of a buzz about this show. MJ the Musical is one of the best Broadway shows I have seen in years! It is not a cheezy, but a quality and very thoughtful musical. The Tony Award performance did not do it justice. Absolutely a theatrical homerun - Miles Frost (a must see), the ensemble cast, the band/orchestra!!!!! I plan to see it again.

    MESMERIZING!!!!!

    by T. W. on 7/17/22

    We traveled from Michigan to New York and saw MJ the Musical on 07/13/2022. It was a birthday trip for me and a surprise to my 7-year-old son who LOVES Michael Jackson. OMG…it was way more than we expected. Myles Frost was WONDERFUL to watch in his portrayal of The King of Pop…Spot On!!! The entire cast, set design, everything was FANTASTIC!!! The music brought back many wonderful memories! It is definitely a MUST SEE!!!

    Amazing!

    by M. G. on 7/10/22

    The show was incredible! Myles Frost (MJ) was spot on! The dancing was superb. An amazing performance. Quick note: the show was SOOOOOO loud. (It seemed as if someone didn’t do a proper sound check). I never wear earplugs at a show, but luckily located some during intermission and was able to enjoy the last 1/2 of the show without the insane volume. Definite go see it - but pack earplugs - or talk to the show manager and maybe we can get a more appropriate volume.
