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.

  • Amazing!

    by J. B. on 3/13/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    So incredibly happy I picked this for my daughter’s 18th birthday celebration. The cast was simply amazing. We saw this with Aramie Payton and thought he was lip syncing he was so spot on. And the child who played young MJ - just WOW! Definitely will be seeing again with the whole family!

  • Run don’t walk to see this show!!

    by DarthATLien on 3/1/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    The best broadway show I have ever seen. The singing and dancing were phenomenal. Everyone should see this whether you are Michael Jackson fan or not!

  • Excellent show

    by J. D. on 2/22/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    The douchebag who said this show was on par with a high school production must have had a brain hemorrhage. This was a show of excellent production and fantastic direction, costume design, and attention to detail. The lead was fantastic. Yes, mUch of the show relies on Michael Jackson’s music, however, it is well done and quite entertaining. The misses- female dancers are not nearly as good as the male dancers. Janet Jackson and their sisters are not even mentioned. However, it all still worked. I saw the show twice and considering seeing it again!

  • Speechless

    by J. P. on 2/20/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    I have seen countless plays however MJ is not that. MJ is a precious moment the world needs to heal and enjoy music. This show was GREAT from beginning to end the music, the actors, the production, the band and all those behind the scenes. This is definitely a must see play.

  • Incredible!

    by R. R. on 2/19/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    This will be my 3rd Broadway show I've seen and it was by far the best! I was blown away by the actor who protrays Michael. He looks and sounds just like him. Definitely want to see this show again.

  • Michael Jackson Reincarnated

    by C. W. on 2/15/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    This was an outstanding performance. The three performers that played the different age groups of Michael Jackson were so incredibly accurate. The music was amazing. You could feel the base booming while in your seats. The performers really brought Michael’s vision to life! I am going to purchase tickets again because it’s worth watching more than once.

  • Best show I’ve ever seen

    by S. W. on 2/13/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    I will be honest - I was not expecting this to be as great as it was. The actors that played MJ looked and sounded exactly like him. The music was spot on and it was like being at a live concert and inside his music videos /most famous videos all at once. I could not have asked for something better. I grew up as a huge fan of MJ but never got to see him in concert and I feel like this musical payed the perfect homage to the man he was and the legacy he left behind. Buying tickets to see it again!

  • This production will run forever...

    by Mary Elizabeth mith on 2/8/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    It will influence clothing and culture... if only we all could pay attention to Michael's words and what he believed , the world would be a better place.

  • Broadway at its best

    by T. S. on 2/6/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    This musical is amazing and I hesitated to write this review because I want to be able to get tickets again. It’s an absolutely perfect production, from beginning to end.

  • AMAZING!

    Truly amazing. The singing and dancing is just phenomenal. I could not stop moving in my seat. I'm so ready to see it again.

  • Absolutely wonderful!!!

    by N. on 1/31/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    This musical is so worth it. I had the best time ever. I have seen so many Broadway and of Broadway shows including musicals, but this one is by far the best. This will bring all your MJ memories and will make you want to jump and dance.

  • TONY MATERIAL

    by A. T. on 1/23/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    This show was the best show I’ve seen on broadway in the last what? 3 years? And I watch a lot of shows! The story, the vocals, the dancing, the stage production. This was so wild and unexpected! Also, the entire cast was invested. I highly doubt anyone will not enjoy this show. PS. I’m not a Michael Jackson fan. (Show was awesome though!)
