My husband, 15 year old son & I went to the show. It was very entertaining with a great choice of songs & fabulous dancing. The storyline was tastefully done. Highly recommended for everyone.
The set list was great. Listen with an open ear because the songs are a mashup of cover performances. Some tempos were slower than expected, but the cast was great and the atmosphere was amazing! Must-see performance.
The lead cast member playing MJ was difficult to understand during certain times in the performance. He pulled off the dancing with no problems. Otherwise, it was a good show.
This show was absolutely incredible. The people who played Michael were outstanding. Especially the one who was able to do his voice when talking. The music was awesome.
Not a dull moment - it was great! The young MJ is awesome !
Attended the opening night show at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk. It was a sold out show for good reason! The performers were amazing - dancing to perfection, while the music was as equally impressive! The best part, however, was the storyline - taking the audience on an emotional, tumultuous, controversial and exhilarating journey from MJ's humble beginnings in Indiana to his time with the Jackson 5, and then beyond his best selling albums "Thriller"and "Bad", finally arriving at his conclusive "Dangerous"tour rehearsal. What a great performance by all! A story and production not to be missed!
Every moment of the show was energetic and exciting. Every performance was perfect. I have not seen a show this fantastic in a long time.
I saw this tour when it came to Norfolk, VA and it was amazing! From start to finish those dancers, singers, actors, band members, board ops, give it their all! I would see this again and again. This story breaks your heart. But also plays your heart strings as it wonderfully goes through SO MANY of Michael's contributions to the music world.
All of the dancers were excellent. MJ was realistic with his dancing and moves.
The show was the best musical I have seen in years.
The show was amazing. All of the Michaels were fantastic. Great singing, great story.
The contents and story were great; all the performers were fantastic. The choreography amazing along with their costumes. "best light show"I have ever seen in a musical. Well done everyone who was involved in this production !!
I can’t even find the words or adjectives to describe what an amazing evening show and production MJ life was! The cast the crew, the light show the Orchestra everything was top-notch
I really enjoyed the show and loved the décor. Southam Hall at the NAC is a fantastic venue. The performers delivered great energy, and the choreography was visually impressive. However, the show felt a bit short on capturing some of MJ’s biggest hits. It was also a bit difficult to understand the performer playing MJ, as their speech wasn’t very clear. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience!
It’s an excellent, great musicians, great dancers, great singers, good storyline, great music
I have no idea how Ottawa was able to grab this show but it was the best Broadway show I have ever seen and I have seen shows in London England, New York, Vegas and Toronto. The music, dance moves, scenic design were all top notch. Storyline stayed in the lines and celebrate what made the king of pop so special.
MJ Touring was the best Broadway show I have seen by far. I felt like I got to see him live and the cast was amazing! Worth it to see and want to go again!
I was dancing and singing. Beautiful people. The plot was tasteful and eloquent! Michael in three generations! Crazy. JUST CRAZY! I was star struck.
RBLT has never disappoint every show they bring to Rochester is up and above expectations. We have the best and I have seen a lot. Good job RBLT, good job. Keep up the good work
