Amazing actors

"The show was excellent. The various ages of MJ and the young actors that portrayed the early years were amazing. The actor portraying MJ was spot on with talking, dancing, singing and acting. Visuals were amazing. There are a few slow areas but they gave a clearer perception of why MJ was feeling through the years. Strongly recommend "
