Saw it in DC last year and loved it so much, went again a few months later in Baltimore. Amazing cast and show!!! Briefly met Jamaal (MJ) after the first show and he was so sweet and humble. What a talent!
First time seeing this musical. I was really amazed, entertained and loved the before and recent songs of MJ. I would really love to see this again next year if you are back in town. The actors were amazing and the dancing was stupendous. Love the younger MJ actors as well. MJ was portrayed very well and somethings I didn't know about his early childhood, made sense on his song selection. Overall Great Show!!
Very well done. Dancing outstanding and man who played Michael even had his voice down pat. I would highly recommend the production to anyone that loved Michael’s talent.
After struggling with actually "presenting the ticket"on my cell phone (god, what a mess!), I was treated to a masterful performance from the cast of "MJ": Jordan Marcus gave a performance that defined the phrase, "how can someone be so incredibly talented?"For 2 1/2 hours, he sang and danced at least as good, if not better, than the "original"Michael Jordan. His strength and athletic ability is beyond imagination. I was totally impressed and very happy that I attended the event.
Wonderful event attended last Sunday! The story and music was exceptional. Had a great time!
The production not only showcases Jackson's drive, genius, and generosity. it also brings him to energetic life through the excellent performances from his time with the Jackson Five to his later life. Don't miss it!
Needed more of MJ's music and less about his life story. Performers were excellent
The show was amazing. Great songs and great performances.
Every person that played Michael was fantastic. The set was amazing. Really impressed with how the set really made me feel like we were moving through time. Was disappointed in the suipporting dancers though. I know I can't expect them to perform at a level that Michael would expect, but a lot of them seemed bored. Faces weren't giving, movements weren't crisp.
Took my Goddaughter's & parents to see their TALENTED GodBrother @quinny_gram play "Little Michael"in the MJ musical & the entire cast & music was AWESOME! THIS IS A MUST SEE SHOW! Vivica A Fox 🤗
