"Wow. Where do I begin. The show was amazing and very well crafted. This was more than just a musical. The show from beginning to the end had us emotionally invested. The cast from the minor children to the adults every single cast member created an awesome experience. You must go see this Amazing Show. You will really feel like you went back in time and were there with Michael Jackson. I’m going to treat my family members to trip for this performance."

"I was expecting a good show, given it is MJ. I was also apprehensive as MJ is difficult to put on a stage. What I saw was mind blowing and mind boggling. Blowing because of the talent and the storyline and the production and the performance. Boggling because how can human beings achieve this kind of perfection, endurance, and creativity on stage?
God speed to the team we saw and the team we did not see. You are superstars. And through you, we can re live the legend of the greatest artist ever!
Just thank you.

"The actors were phenomenal and their voices were incredible! The actor who played MJ truly captured the spirit, attitude, behavior, voice, and love that the real MJ wanted to share. It told a beautiful story and I’m sure MJ would have been so happy and proud."

"At first we thought oh no, an understudy for Michael. But Ilario Grant was so perfect in every way. He looked like Michael, talked like him, sang and danced exactly like him. And even more, he pulled you into the character and made you feel empathetic and tender towards the boy, Michael. And for the man who was so talented and yet somewhat tortured. We would gladly go see it again! Loved it!! The dancing and musical talent throughout the show was over the top! "

"I didn't know what to expect, but I was very happy with the show. Of course I love the music, and the dancing was "thrilling". The show had a storyline that was ok, but some of the touching scenes with young Michael made me cry, (don't tell my girlfriend). All the cast were great, and scenes were amazing! Great art dept. and tech crew. It's a Broadway play, so I didn't expect dancing in the isles, but I wanted to. "

"As a true MJ fan I knew I’d be critical of the dancing and voice, but this made me hear the songs in a way I never considered previously! Each of the cast members took time after the show to meet my son (age 10) to take pics and sign his playbill — pretty awesome first broadway experience! I couldn’t be more happy with the experience.

"This show was soooooo good! The actor playing MJ was outstanding. He had the look, the voice, and all the dance moves. The rest of the cast was also exceptional. The sets were spot on and really enhanced the experience. The show spanned his whole career and some of his personal struggles which was eye opening. "
