I was 14 when Michael Jackson passed away, and I mourned him like I’ve never mourned a public figure since then. I was never really a fangirl of anyone, but Michael Jackson existed in a league of his own. That is exactly what the Tony Award-winning MJ The Musical, with a book by Lynn Nottage, captures with precision, spectacle, and surprising tenderness.
Created by Tony Award-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, the multiple Tony Award-winning musical MJ The Musical is coming to the San Diego Civic Theatre from May 5–10, bringing Michael Jackson’s singular moves and signature sound to the stage.

When going into a theatre to see a brand new musical, it is very difficult to know what exactly you are going to get. Are you going to want to linger and hope there is more, or are you going to be hunting furiously for the exit? I am happy to say that the world premier INDIGO now playing at the Human Race Theatre Company was the first of the two. I love theatre but it isn’t often that I leave a show contemplating purchasing tickets for a return visit. I still haven’t ruled it out.
The Human Race Theatre Company finishes its 37th year with the launch of a world premiere musical, Indigo, with book by Kait Kerrigan and music and lyrics by Scott Evan Davis.
