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.

  • The Most Amazing Tribute to Mike!!!!!!

    by Laura A on 6/20/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    I couldn’t believe how amazing this show was!! I went to Las Vegas last August and saw every tribute to Michael I could see for his birthday. When I returned home in NJ, I needed more!! So I finally booked this show. This broadway production absolutely TOPS THEM ALL!!! I am now in the process of seeing it again!!!

  • Great performance terrible theater

    by D. A. on 6/10/23Rating: 2 out of 5

    Seating at the Neil Simon theater was absolutely horrible. Could not see most of the show, and we actually had pretty good orchestra center seats 110 and 111. The parts of the play we could see were wonderful. Incredible performers well put together show but such a great show should not be performed in a theater we’re seating was clearly not thought through when designed. All we could see were the heads in front of us. So disappointed.

  • OMGGGG

    by Ashley on 5/16/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    Please experience this show, I beg of you. It’s was phenomenal. My daughter bought tickets for us for my Mother’s Day gift and I couldn’t be happier. The entire cast did superb. I’m still raving about it! Do yourself a favor and go jam out with the cast. You won’t regret it.

  • Amazing show

  • Emotional, Amazing, Spectacular!!!

    by V. V. on 2/24/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    It was emotional and nostalgic for me right from the beginning of the show!! Listening to the soundtrack of my childhood paired with amazing performances literally blew me away!!! My proverbial wig was snatched! I’ve seen it twice and plan to see it again. I have seen lots of Broadway shows.. but this one has stolen my heart. FABULOUS!!

    by PD on 1/18/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    I saw the MJ show the week of Thanksgiving my seats were second row from the stage. It was on point. The story line is excellent and forget about the actors or actresses. The demeanor of Myles Frost and the gentle who was the under study of Michael was great. The dancers had me excited they were getting down. I had fun and dance at the end. The vibes were so awesome and once I left I was excited and saw people dancing outside the theatre. I have referred people an encourage them to go and see the show. One of my friends went after me in Dec. and loved it. Keep up the great job.

  • Best show on Broadway!

    by H. P. on 12/16/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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 12/8/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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 11/11/22Rating: 2 out of 5

    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.

  • Epic!

    by S. M. on 11/3/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    Best Broadway musical - by far! Even if you don’t like musicals, you will love this one! It’s a must go!

  • This show was phenomenal

    Yes me and my Husband had a wonderful time even though tall people was sitting in front of us but it was nice, we might have to go see it again...

    by glowoflove on 10/4/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    excited to see the show. story was told very well and the music and scenery was fantastic just a show stopper loved it and letting people know if they get a chance go see it and the actor who played mj myles frost did an excellent job bringing his life to broadway 🎭👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

  • SPECTACULAR

    by R. B. on 9/13/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    Jaw dropping. I had goosebumps all throughput the show. I wish theyll go on tour so a lot more people can see their talents. And how grand this show is.

  • Spectacular show

    by D.H. on 9/10/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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.

  • Best broadway show I’ve ever seen, EPIC.

    The lighting, stage presence, performances were awesome.

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

    by Peechez on 8/31/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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.

  • Going back a 3rd time …again. 7/23

    by Wendy on 7/19/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    I just can’t get enough. Everyday I watch the Tony awards performance. I’m hooked. Every cast member is amazing. I love them all especially middle MJ and Myles frost. Going on sat to see middle MJ fill in for Myles frost as MJ. I highly recommend this musical. Wish I had $ to go each month.

  • PHENOMENAL!!!

    by SDM on 7/19/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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 Will on 7/17/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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 7/10/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    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.
