He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry has finally arrived on Broadway in a brand-new musical. Centered around the making of his 1992 Dangerous World Tour, and created by Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Jackson into legendary status.
"I really enjoyed the show. It was a bit off from what I thought it was going to be but it was still worth it. Small MJ was so adorable, he played his role well. "

Michael was a fine young man
"The Michael Jackson story is a
poignant story about a talented young man with no control over his childhood or abusive father; or his career for many years. It is good for those of us who grew up watching and knowing Michael Jackson …the music and dancing is wonderful, but it provides the backdrop for the story that is quite sad."

Great music and dancing, lacks diction
"As stated, the music and dancing are fantastic. I first saw this musical when it first opened; that MJ was a better lookalike for Michael, so this actor was a bit of a disappointment. What is difficult is following the dialog at times. They speak so fast and their diction suffers. I don’t recall it being a nuisance in the previous show."

Nice show but wouldn’t see again
"The cast was great although getting someone to pull off playing MJ is almost impossible.
The storyline did delve into some background on his early years by it was clear the play either wouldn’t or couldn’t tell most details of his life."

Fun Energy
"The show had good energy and music of course, however, I did not enjoy how rushed the songs and overall performance was. Each song, especially the best ones, were chopped and mixed. I wish the show and plot line was not so hurried."

Rethink the play
"The story line was ok but what's disappointing is the presentation of the story. It came across very weak. The teenage MJ could also use a better outfit--not just black jeans. "

Loud and very energetic
"Dancer troupe was great. Something was a bit off in the adult MJ dancing. Didn’t capture the fluidity of Michael Jackson’s fantastic dancing. Maybe no one can. Good performance otherwise. "

Needed more
"Loved the stage production. Amazing but stage venture seemed too small. Like a beginner off broadway. Differently could have had 2 double fill in dancers. Wasn’t impressed enough. Had the the perfect center Mezz seats. Would have been more interesting to have real life or best of drag queens coming across the stage to hug and kiss MJ. Like Madonna, Liza Just even 5 would have added the extra drama. I thought the main Michael was good but I’ve seen soooooooo many other Vegas types would have been more impressive. Ripping his t shir off was a classic move but wasn’t done. May be because of the equipment he needed under for sound. His moon walk wasn’t great. We have become too exposed to seeing some really great impersonators I’ve become a bit jaded. Dancers customs could have been cooler. So I had high expectations but overall very good. And cheers to the sound/lights casting creators. WOW. AND LOVE HOW LOUD IT WAS. "

Plot is Meandering and hard to follow.
"Music is good, dancing was great. Not a theater for tall people above 5'9"- cramped leg room."
