"MJ enthusiast here. If you plan on seeing this show, do NOT come in with the expectations that this is a “musical” - the script and production of the show felt more like a documentary story of Michael’s life than a musical featuring hit songs and dances. Advertisements read as performing 40 songs by Michael but they are not full songs, 30 seconds to 2 minute snippets of each song (except like 5 full songs). Performances of each song were very lackluster as they include very minimal outfit changes, stage display changes, and overall organization. This may have related to the script of the show being an “MTV interview during an MJ rehearsal” so 80% of the show takes place with 1 stage and set of uniforms with several actors just standing around on stage waiting for their turn to perform. The dialogue of the script felt very unnecessary at times as fluff to elongate the show to a full 2.5 hours. This review is NOT anything against the actual performers. They were all very talented. However comparative to other Broadway shows in NYC, it was very noticeable how poor the production quality & script/story was vs. expectations of a musical. TLDR: The show felt like watching a glorified street performance."
