MJ the Musical

The Producers Lia Vollack Productions and The Michael Jackson Estate have announced that the multi-Tony Award winning Broadway musical MJ will make its way to London’s theatreland, landing in the West End in 2024 at the Prince Edward Theatre. This is the second Jackson musical, this time revealing the background to the artist’s extraordinary Dangerous World Tour in 1992. MJ will be directed and choreographed by the Royal Ballet Associate Artist Christopher Wheeldon OBE, who said, "I am thrilled that MJ will come to London, having been embraced by New York audiences since it opened. Michael Jackson had a profound influence on popular culture, as well as all of us as performing artists, and this musical is an exploration of that artistic mind and a creative process which is unmistakably Michael Jackson.”

Wheeldon is joined by an exceptional creative team packed with award winners and nominees, and the cast will be announced nearer the time. If you’d love to know the background to the Dangerous Tour that made the man into the legend he remained for the rest of his life, this one’s for you. As the book writer for MJ, Lynn Nottage said, “As a Black musician and a pioneering voice in the music industry, Michael Jackson demanded inclusion, broke incredible barriers and in the process made indelible music that continues to resonate, delight and move listeners today. I am drawn to his complicated, singular and uncompromising creative process, and to understand where, why and how he made his music." If you’d like to know more about the character behind the magic and the music, this one’s for you.

What an awesome peudycruon!
This show is so cleverly written and once you get the hang of it is easy to follow. The timings, choreography, music, singing, acting, are all exceptional. If you love Michael Jackson you will love this show? Beautiful theatre too
Mandy, 20 Dec 2024
Amazing Show
This show is truly fabulous the main actor who plays MJ is so like him in every way it is incredible. I liked the way they have MJ as a child and then teenager to portray his life story. Honestly can’t recommend seeing this enough it’s definitely one of the best I’ve seen.
Filly, 20 Dec 2024
Amazing
This show this evening was phenomenal to say the least!! We would definitely watch it again!!
Sue, 19 Dec 2024
What an afternoon experience.
Excellent performance by all of the cast.Music,dancing,lighting and special effects were all first class. A thoroughly enjoyable experience deserving of the standing ovation at the end of the show.
Eric, 19 Dec 2024
Absolutely fantastic!
Any Michael Jackson fan must see this show! It’s the best show we’ve ever seen.
Kimberley, 19 Dec 2024
Best musical ever
Worth every cent. See it. I saw MJ live and this is the next best thing.
Carmen, 19 Dec 2024
Could have been more impactful
Could have stayed truer to the original songs, would loved to have seen a more fuller version of some of MJ’s bigger tracks and would love to have seen a much bigger and pumping finale, the end was definitely weak I’m very sorry to say 😢
Paul, 14 Dec 2024
Average music and a poor finale.
I left feeling that it finished without a finale. It was an average musical but good fun. Story line was just about there. I am pleased I didn't pay a fortune for seats. For the price the seats were good view but distant
Lorna, 13 Dec 2024
Fantastic show
Fantastic show and music from MJ life.
Olav, 12 Dec 2024
What an amazing set
Wow 🤩. What a show. The set, the lighting, costumes, everything about the show is a must see
Claire, 10 Dec 2024
STUPENDOUS
The seats in front were fortunately vacant for the 2.30pm performance which was great. From start to finish you were allowed to peek into just how MJ was a perfectionist and how he & the Boys were actually viewed by the father. However what was absolutely mesmerising was the lead playing MJ and also the Younger and Youngest MJ's. His voice om ammmazzing....but the whole show from.start to finish, the set, the music, the dance troupe...allI can say is GO SEE IT..if there's a show you would put into your Top 5 this would be one of them. As I said STUPENDOUS!!!
Michelle, 09 Dec 2024

Carole, 01 Dec 2024
Amazing
Absolutely loved this show We had an amazing time
Kerrie, 01 Dec 2024
Disappointing
Meh…. I guess he’s a tough act to follow and the lead did a reasonable job but I just found the whole thing a bit of a let down- I was expecting more in the west end
Stephen, 30 Nov 2024
Outstanding great fun
Having seen Michael Jackson in Roudhay Park Leeds on his Bad tour in the 80's , we had to come and this live show - OMG !!!!! What a truly incredible show , the whole the cast where truly outstanding and we had a fantastic night - highly recommended 😀

Katerina, 29 Nov 2024
Absolutely Amazing!
Growing up watching musicals on B'way, I have not seen a musical this awesome since Cat's or Chorus Line!Toe tapping, head bobbing, clapping for the music. An amazing & talented cast of dancers & music and lighting to boot!

We absolutely loved your show! THANK YOU
Danielle, 28 Nov 2024
Fab show
Loved this show, 1 of the best I have seen. Shame we had to queue around the whole building to get in and we had no chance to get drinks. We arrived at 2.00 for 2.30 show. Takes nothing from the show, poor management getting people in.
Julie, 28 Nov 2024
Musically engaging.
A clever and enlightening portrayal of music and life of one of our greatest ever entertainers this century. Great story line supported by fabulous songs and fantastic dancing.
Martin, 28 Nov 2024
Spectacular show that people of all ages can enjoy!
This is the show that would remind you why MJ is the true king of pop. It covers all the hits we love and will certainly take you on walk down memory lane. It’s a show for people of all ages to enjoy and makes for a great family outing.
Iyad, 27 Nov 2024
Must see!!
Fantastic show for MJ lovers and people not knowing his story of life. You will get affected by the music and will be astonished about his creativity, music and love sharing with everyone!
Mareike, 24 Nov 2024
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
Loved the show from beginning to end. Michael Jackson is played by 3 actors and they are all excellent and sound exactly like him. Music, dancing, costumes, lighting all excellent. The only thing that lets it down in my opinion are the 2 MTV crew, that part of the storyline is weak and lets it down. Loved the fact that everyone was on their feet at the end, singing along!
lucienne, 24 Nov 2024
Superb story of Michael Jackson
Show was excellent in terms of telling the story and acting was incredible. The sound could have been better and dancing with a little more definition in the moves. I have seen a similar show of Michael Jackson and it was closer to a concert of MJ but this was excellent to hear the story behind the scenes.
Mal, 24 Nov 2024
Fantastic
Excellent show in every way, loved it
Yvette, 23 Nov 2024
A trip down memory lane
Excellent show with the right amount of story sharing information about MJ. Intially felt we couldn't hear the words when sang by MJ that clearly but it did improve. Thanks for the entertainment
Sally, 22 Nov 2024
Loved the fact that this created so much interest for MJ in my 15 year old boy
Lost of fun do sing and dance along to make it a memory forever
Hemant, 19 Nov 2024
Fantastic dancing and great music of course!!
Was not totally sure if I’d seen ‘enough of Michael as had seen the videos and heard the music so many times but with the storyline including the ‘early days and the great music and dancing was amazing. He was truly the ‘king of pop and had a lot of soul too!! The show was great.
Steven, 18 Nov 2024

A must see
I watched this show with family and we all really enjoyed every moment. The actors were superb, story was very easy to follow, special effects were amazing and the music and singing was absolutely fantastic. I thought the organisation of the theatre was really good and important for me as a 76 year old was that the toilets were easily accessible and very clean. I would recommend this theatre to anyone.

Amazing show, all the great songs featuring jackson 5 and MJ. Mj was fantastic both young and old but especially the grown up one. Very believable and great singing & dancing. Would have liked more of the song thriller. That would be my only suggestion. All in all a fabulous show.
Jackie, 22 Oct 2024
Michael Jackson is alive
If I didn't know that Michael Jackson was no longer with us I could have sworn I have just seen him the MJ musical Absolutely sensational
David, 19 Oct 2024
Colourful immersed experience loved it
Was a great show staging lighting and music was on piont and everything you could hope for when you think of a mj musical I also enjoyed that it's brought up issues to do with race and touched on the issues that mj had without taking away from the show.
Jessica, 19 Oct 2024
Excellent show
Amazing show. Music brilliant. Great story.
MANDY, 19 Oct 2024
Underwhelming
Please read this as my sincere impression and not criticism just for the sake of it. The main actor did a phenomenal job at representing the great and wonderful Michael Jackson in all required aspects like dancing, singing, speaking and reincarnating his demeanour. A few of his colleagues were also outstanding, such as teen Michael, and the voice of the lady who plays his mom is jaw gasping. The rest of the show however feels like it cannot contribute the energy and charisma required to give this show the “show” quality it feels it’s missing. The lights, the set, the characters, the story…The only moment when I felt an energy buzz was when the lights came on for thriller…for the rest unfortunately it was all good, but not the exceptional I’ve had the fortune to experience on the west end or broadway.
Anna Giulia, 18 Oct 2024
Amazing !!
Amazing show went afternoon show , would off watched again that night !!!

Fabulous from start to finish - a must see!
Took my daughters (21&24), whilst they'd heard of MJ, they certainly hadn't known his early music or life story. They were ambivalent about going. All of us were absolutely WOWED. What a show! Costumes, acting, lighting, staging were all incredible. A real must see!
