Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

It's a Thriller from start to finish at MJ the Musical on Broadway. More than just a jukebox play, this musical delves into Jackson's creative process, celebrity issues, and the inner challenges that molded his work. In MJ, a Pulitzer Prize–winning play by Lynn Nottage and choreography by Christopher Wheeldon spectacle and narrative are combined to pay tribute to a musical legend while recognizing his complexity. Nottage dramatizes the story using cliches from the jukebox playbook, but she does it crisply and in a way that makes it seem almost natural. The big concern, despite this trope, is the glossing over of Michael Jackson's more sordid history.

Valeria Nalani,

The Daily Wildcat

"MJ: The Musical’ is a bewitching watch"

"Wheeldon’s choreography — performed by Frost along with a superb if amazingly jacked ensemble — remains compelling longer, offering a three-dimensional version of what most of us have seen only from distant arena seats or in dark videos on depthless screens"

David Browne,

Rolling Stone

"maybe in that way, this equally exhilarating and confounding show really does have it right: Whether you believe the allegations made against him or not, there’s no question that a part of Jackson left the building on those world stages nearly 30 years ago"

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Shahéba GOULAMALY
The show was amazing. The production and staging were ingenious, sometimes surprising, but there's something for everyone! There weren't enough songs for my friend and there was too much choreography for me 😛 The actors were spot on. The props were well controlled, the lighting subtle, and the sets impressive! In short: INCREDIBLE 🤩

The Lion King

Experience
Martina Held
It is a very nice show, amazing for the magnificent representations of animals (I loved the giraffes), the bright colors, the nice and peculiar mix with the public. And what can I say... the great performances, the voices and songs, the musicians, in short.... all beautiful. Highly recommended. It will be a memory that will always remain in the retina.

The show was great, the lights, the sound, the performers etc. everything was perfect. Hearing Alicia Keys sounds again shows just how much her music has rocked us over the last two decades.

Excellent service. I purchased well in advance and was very kindly advised that my reservation was perfect but that I would see the tickets when they were issued (a week before the date) and I did. Excellent customer service and of course, excellent Chicago!

Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern

Experience
Mary Garlitz
The ticketing process was easy and typical app based purchase. The show was so fun. It was a perfect blend of actual D&D, improve and Broadway spectacle. The audience interaction as a story telling driver was so enjoyable. The actor/players were engaging and exciting. Having a "team" to root for kept the interaction lively. I would love to return, just to experience another adventure.
