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 Michael Jackson’s life story, his struggles with his father and his drive to create a new musical style. Of course you’ll hear all the biggest hits through the History album. This show is definitely family-friendly.”
- Christophe L.: “If you love Michael Jackson and want to see a Broadway musical, don’t hesitate!!! We were blown away by MJ the Musical. It’s fantastic—the show, the performances, and very accessible even if you don’t speak much English. Highly recommended.”

- Sonson R.: “MJ was fabulous! Magical! Excellent singers and musicians, staging, sound, atmosphere—everything was perfect! If you love Michael Jackson, go for it!”
- 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 through the MJ years for a 2-hour-30-minute show. The theater is very well designed with each row elevated above the previous one.”
