Reviews of MJ The Michael Jackson Musical
Reviews of MJ The Michael Jackson Musical from our Destination New York Facebook group
- Céline M.: “The MJ Michael Jackson musical on Broadway was absolutely incredible. The sets, the animations, the special effects. Honestly, after this, you won’t want to go to a regular theater again. A true American-style show. The musical tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life, his struggles with his father, and his determination to create a new musical style. Of course, you’ll hear all the greatest hits through the History album. This show is definitely family-friendly.”

- Leila B.: “If there’s one show to see on Broadway, it’s MJ. The lighting design is impressive and surprising. The staging is grand. Dozens of sets projected on screens that appear seamlessly, sometimes on scrims. Talented actors and singers who transported us back to the MJ era for a 2.5-hour show. The theater is beautifully designed with each row elevated above the previous one.”
