At the Stanley BFL Canada Stage in Vancouver, BC, the Arts Club Theatre Company’s latest production brings that story to life. 

On April 5, Jackson Wang brought his MAGICMAN 2 World Tour to the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre, returning to Vancouver with a show that felt different from his 2023 stop.

Instead of fully depending on big production moments, the show focused on atmosphere and pacing, letting each song tell its own story while giving the night a more personal feel.

“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” took on a new meaning in Vancouver this week as MJ THE MUSICAL debuted at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Tuesday for its opening night.
