8Here’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"
Jesse Green,
The New York Times"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"

The actors' performances (singing and dancing) are fantastic. The orchestra is visible all around the stage and plays beautifully. The acoustics in this theater are excellent. A wonderful evening on Broadway ✨.

The crowd was absolutely alive for this show and that energy was contagious! The ensemble really killed it, their power and voices stood out. The venue was small and yet there was just enough time to get what you needed during breaks- all staff hustled. The costumes and performances were wonderful I just wish the set design had a little more umph in the first half!

Punctual, superb choreography, colorful and original costumes. I loved the Yennes' costumes. A high-quality show with talented singers, dancers, and acrobats.
A must-see.

One of the best operas I've ever heard. And not just musically—the set design and costumes really made an impression on us. The Met is one of the world's finest opera houses. I recommend arriving early to enjoy the spectacle of the audience's attire: it felt like we were at the Oscars.

Everything about this play was unforgettable. The theater is breathtaking. The energy of others being able to see the play as well fills the room. Seeing the decorations they set out for guests to interact with were amazing. The play itself was magical and incredible. Even my husband was in awe with how they managed to do some of the things for it. We absolutely would go back to watch it again. The best part was being able to go while Tom Felton was acting as Draco once more. Then getting to see him exit the theater and ask for his autograph was the cherry on top!
