Dude really worked hard......

"This was my first broadway play. The stage was incredible and the sound was the best I have ever heard. We came all the way from Atlanta to go to this play and it was well worth it. All the dudes playing Micheal really worked hard, including the kid playing him. "

Veronica B from Estado de Mexico on Jun 1, 2026

It was wonderful!!!

"Loved it all. The actors from young to older who played Michael Jackson were amazingly gifted. We took a 12 year old and she loved it too. Wouldnt take any children younger than 12. It opened up questions that were worth discussing at her age. Loved it!!!!"
