FEATURED REVIEWS FOR MJ the Musical

‘MJ’ Review: Michael Jackson Lives Again In Lynn Nottage’s Thriller Of A Broadway Musical
9 / 10

If MJ can't contain the shock of the new that turned his 1983 television performance into an era-defining moment, it is in no short supply of its own thrills, not least the reminder, after all these years of scandal and accusations, that we once observed, in real time, the blossoming of undeniable talent into unavoidable genius. That's a transition, not since equaled, that director-choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, book write Lynn Nottage and an impeccable cast led by the star-is-born Myles Frost, bring to pulse-quickening life on the stage.

‘MJ’ Review: Flashy Michael Jackson Musical Packs in the Hits, but Struggles to Get Behind the Music
7 / 10

The demons that Jackson battles in 'MJ,' his father and the media, are figured as monstrous. But if there was darkness behind the angelic falsetto, a mix of light and shadow that made Michael Jackson a singular artist, 'MJ' enacts a sleight of hand, insisting it didn't belong to him. It's a renouncement worthy enough of a smooth criminal.
