He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry has finally arrived on Broadway in a brand-new musical. Centered around the making of his 1992 Dangerous World Tour, and created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Jackson into legendary status.

Review: MJ - THE MUSICAL Moonwalks Into OC's Segerstrom Center
8 / 10
The stage musical, which debuted on Broadway in 2021, shrewdly executes this bit of focal redirection by providing its audience with a non-stop barrage of dazzling, breathlessly-performed musical numbers, while also hinting that the show's seemingly odd titular figure—via a broadly evasive but still serviceable book by Lynn Nottage—is, at his true core, just a smart, endearingly awkward, and unfairly misunderstood music genius, whose eccentric quirks, bashful demeanor, and peculiar proclivities are simply a direct result of having a traumatic childhood that he is refusing to talk about with an inquisitive journalist.
Review: MJ: THE MUSICAL at Fox Cities Performing Arts Center
7 / 10
MJ: The Musical showcases clear talent across its cast and is supported by beautiful design elements that bring the world of Michael Jackson to life onstage. The choreography and staging capture many of Jackson’s iconic moves and moments with precision, and the production design helps immerse the audience in the spectacle synonymous with his legacy. However, despite these strengths, the premise and book occasionally feel at odds with the complexity and creative genius of the character at its center. While the show touches on key milestones and the pressures of fame, it often misses opportunities to delve deeper into the internal struggles, innovative spirit, and emotional layers that defined Jackson as both an artist and a person. This leaves the production feeling at times more like a ‘tip of the iceberg tribute’ than a fully realized exploration of a visionary mind. In the end, MJ: The Musical delivers undeniable entertainment and honors the star power of its subject, while at the same time suggesting that there is still more to be uncovered about the ‘Man in the Mirror’.”
