Kenya Vaughn — Theater Critic

Jordan Markus had some tough loafers to fill in his debut touring performance as Michael Jackson. This is true in both as the musical’s namesake and as the successor to Roman Banks, whose 2024 Fox Theatre performance was widely praised. Markus delivers a solid showing, particularly in his dancing. And between the three performers who portray Jackson at different stages of his life, audiences get the full spectrum of what the late entertainer brought to the world.
