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.
MJ the Musical continues its Broadway run. Okayplayer writes that Elijah Rhea Johnson’s performance as MJ is an "unbelievable revelation. Johnson possesses an outstanding vocal range and jaw-dropping dance skills. There is a particular moment during the show when he hit a perfect Moonwalk and the crowd immediately erupted in thunderous applause. He also tore the house down with phenomenal performances of ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ and a raucous ‘Thriller’ rendition that will absolutely take your breath away."

Denver Post’s theater critic on MJ the Musical’s US national touring company: "The Michaels are all that and a bag of chips. The beautiful trick that [Roman] Banks pulls off as the adult MJ is to embody, not merely mimic. Sure, the actor speaks in that soft voice, even when Michael is demanding something of his manager, his dancers, his agent. Yes, he robots and moonwalks. And still, Banks brings an aura that is his own." Find MJ the Musical in your city through August of 2025: https://tour.mjthemusical.com/schedule/ #MJtheMusicalTour
