He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson's unique and unparalleled artistry comes to cities across the United States as MJ, the multi-Tony Award-winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own. Created by Tony Award-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status.
Loved MJ the Musical….completely entertaining, fantastic music. A must see if you love the genius of Michael Jackson.
I read the reviews before I attended, and they were true. The music was fabulous. The adult MJ was amazing. But dialogue was difficult to hear. Of course, Michael spoke softly, so the actor portraying him did as well. I heard barely half. The female reporter was impossible to hear. I was waiting for someone in the audience to yell out, "Speak up!"or "I can't hear you."However, you can still get the gist of the show. Overall, the musical numbers make up for it.
This is the best show I've seen in a long time! Dancing and singing were all excellent!
The scenery, dancers and telling the story of MJ’s musical side was well done. Every song hit an inner cord of mine including laughter and tears. I highly recommend seeing this musical!!
We loved everything about this show. The singing and dancing were fantastic. The lighting and special effects amazing. The dancers did a wonderful job. This show was a winner for us!
Everything was spot on. The actor playing MJ could have been his twin. Surprisingly intimate look into his life even as a musical.
This was even more amazing than i thought it would be. The way they told the story of his life and transitioned between childhood and adult career was seamless and beautiful and even made me cry a couple times. It really felt like I was watching Michael himself. I would absolutely go watch this again. 100/100. 5 stars isn’t enough.
We thoroughly enjoyed MJ...the only real drawback or disappointment was that Centennial Hall at the University of Arizona has horrible acoustics. They really need to make some improvements at that Venue.
The show was sooo good. I loved everything about the show. The music, dancing, the acting. The cast was phenomenal. I wish the show was here in Tucson every weekend.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing it again. Great production. We were in the back of mezzanine but we could hear and see very well. I will definitely try for better seats next time though.
Great voices and stage sets. Absolutely bested my expectations and literally felt like I was back in the 60’s and 70’s with the way they did the flashbacks. A little too long which is the only reason I didn’t do 5 stars. A really fun show.
Very enjoyable and well done. The music was great and even a little humorous at times.
This show is incredible! From the music to the dancing, everything is spot on. It has rekindled my love for Michael Jackson and his music. Another musician gone too soon. The show is exciting from beginning to end. A must see for any Michael Jackson music fan. Absolutely amazing!!!
I was a little skeptical at first but when the first few minutes of him singing I knew this was going to be a spectacular show 😍 the lead person was fantastic dance like Tim talked like him had antics like him it was something that really everyone should experience but the most thing that I liked is that they told it through the eldest Michael Jackson reminiscing about his life. From the beginning of the Jackson 5 to the teenage Jackson 5 to the Pepsi commercial where he got burnt it was amazing anybody should go see this I don't care what age you are if you are Michael Jackson fan this is a must see show.
Very in-depth story about the Jackson’s family their up and downs. Very exciting musical.
Too much talking and hard to hear. We are expecting a lot more dancing not just little spots here and there and the end was just blah!! At least they should have done a full number after the jump!!
Really amazing! Roman Banks did really well as MJ and spoke so much like him it’s eerie. Also little MJ really did a great job. Definitely go see it.
I love how they laid out the story line and incorporated MJs most iconic songs. The actors are truly amazing! MJ looks/sings/acts like MJ. Loved everything about this show. Def recommend if an MJ fan!
This was the second time watching the show and I wasn't disappointed. It was just as amazing when I saw them in NY for the 1st time. Very entertaining. Must watch.... I would watch them again for the 3rd time.
The show is amaizing, the dancers, everything very well done.
