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"

Sensational performance, beautiful voices of actors, wonderful music. It will definitely stay in our memory. It's the kind of show that never gets boring, I'd love to go again. Everyone should visit Broadway while in NYC.

Experience

I can say just one thing — King MJ is still alive thanks to this show. Such great actors, choreography, plot... everything. During the show, I couldn’t take my eyes off DeAundre Woods’s legs and his moonwalk. I recommend this show to everyone visiting NYC and Broadway. As for purchasing tickets, it’s quite easy and well explained.

Aladdin

Experience
FUMI SAITO
以下が自然で気持ちのこもった英訳です: I came from Japan to see this musical, and it truly moved me. Not only the three main cast members, but every performer was absolutely wonderful. The staging was excellent as well, and as a Disney animation fan, I was amazed at how faithfully the world of the film was brought to life on stage. I’m truly happy that I was able to see this production on my trip.

The Broadway production of Aladdin was absolutely spectacular! Even from my balcony seat, the performance felt larger than life. The dazzling costumes, incredible set design, and powerful singing created pure magic on stage. Every scene was full of energy, humor, and emotion—it truly exceeded all expectations.
