A must-see Broadway production

"I absolutely adored the show: the actors, singers and dancers did a great job. I could enjoy some of my fave songs of MJ, with a modern twist which I liked!!!! Human nature and Thriller were mesmerizing! The only negative point was the overexcited and very nervous guy behind the bar who was there to sell drinks and snacks during the intermission: just tell him to relax! "

A Must-See Broadway Experience!

"MJ The Musical is an absolute must-see! What a production! The choreography, costumes, lighting, stage design, and performances are incredible. It’s so much more than a musical, at times, it feels like you’re actually watching Michael Jackson live on stage. The energy is insane, the music is timeless, and the whole production is beautifully executed from beginning to end. If you’re in New York, definitely put this one on your list. "
