"A very well-made production. There is a very good view from every part of the auditorium. However, the seats are uncomfortable, with very little legroom."

Amazing musical — get your tickets!!

"The entire experience was great! From entry into the theater; the ushers were pleasant, and the bartender had all the personality! The musical was fantastic!! The performers didn’t miss a beat, they told MJ’s story, and sang all of his top songs. The Thriller performance could have been the end of the show, amazing!! It was not, the show kept going, we loved it and recommend it for everyone; don’t miss it!!! This musical was the Highlight of our trip from OH to NYC! "

Kenneth A from Ashburn on Sep 28, 2026

Must see for Michael Jackson fans

"We were captivated by the entire performance. Lots of good touches, like a recurrent theme throughout the show was MJ being challenged about the toaster stunt. And it ended on that note; bravo! A shout out to a dancer named Kellie Drobnick; our eyes kept being drawn to her. Also loved it when Joseph sang; reminded us of how James Earl Jones would sound if he sang. The high energy of the show was electrifying. "
