FEATURED REVIEWS FOR MJ the Musical

‘MJ’ Broadway Review: Michael Jackson Musical Is Less Thriller Than Dangerous

7 / 10

"MJ" is a jukebox musical that is nothing but the late King of Pop's greatest hits. Would Jackson himself approve of such a sentimental journey? More to the point is that his estate has approved it. And that is only one of the minor offenses on display in "MJ," which opened Tuesday at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre.

MJ: THE MAN IN THE MIRE

6 / 10

Wisely, though, MJ neither defends its subject from the most serious charges against him nor urges us to distinguish between the artist and his art. Like most jukebox fare, it's at its most winning when song and dance are in progress-and since Jackson's hits always lent themselves to theatrical presentation, and theater and film giants were among his biggest influences, Wheeldon and his company have plenty of room to fly. In one sequence, the ballet-bred choreographer and director pays cool, glistening homage to Fred Astaire, Bob Fosse and the seminal duo the Nicholas Brothers, offering a bit of historical perspective on the restless brilliance captured in other routines.
