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.

Amazing show with respect to Michael’s live
Recommendation for anyone who loves this Musik and wants to get some insights of Michael Jackson’s life.
Michael, 18 Nov 2025
Enjoyable
Was a job well done by all the cast; the band and dancers did a really good job as well. Sometimes a few of the singers doing solos weren't audible, but the show came together well.
Wanjiru, 18 Nov 2025

Kathleen, 18 Nov 2025
Insightful
A sensational performance by many, a nostalgic trip back in time and a rare view into a child’s psyche trapped inside a very talented young man. I’d watch it twice over- very well done!
Arseni, 17 Nov 2025

Insightful
Fantastic show. Not a massive fan of MJ but went for my wife. So glad I did. I have a better appreciation for his talent now. The show flowed seamlessly throughout the different scenes and was easy to follow. Just another great West End theatre experience.

Satvinder, 02 Nov 2025
Brilliant!
We were not expecting this high quality show. It includes everything: great music, brilliant dancers, fantastic lighting and scenery. The only thing hard was to stand still. Wonderful time really!
Filipa, 01 Nov 2025
The brilliant MJ
The show was fantastic,the music was amazing and dancing and acting was award winning. The story was quite sad, the life that young Michael had was so hard. If anyone is thinking about seeing this amazing show, stop thinking and go. You will live it, I promise.
Gerry, 01 Nov 2025
Must See the King of pop
I really enjoyed the Music And the Actors. The atmosphere in the theatre was amazing.
Petra, 01 Nov 2025

Superb show! Went with family and we all really enjoyed the show. Highly recommend
Agnieszka, 29 Oct 2025
MJ carried the show
MJ was truly amazing in a weak story line show. The theme just got a bit overplayed in parts.
Cora, 29 Oct 2025
What an outstanding show! MJ’s legacy lives on
Great actors and singers take you back to the time that the king of pop was the greatest artist of the world.
Desiree, 28 Oct 2025

Sydney, 25 Oct 2025
Amazing! Amazing!! Amazing!!!
I went with my wife and kids and we all loved it. By far the best show we've seen to date!
Ponle, 24 Oct 2025
I miss Micheal
What a wonderful production. No one is ever going to be as amazing as MJ but the cast was fabulous, that little boy was phenomenal, so courageous MJ would have been proud. The set design was amazing, all the songs just took me back, love it so much. Would see it again if it wasn’t so expensive ha!
sara, 23 Oct 2025
Nobody ever got to see MJ like this!
Three Michaels - the boy, the young man, and the troubled adult - tell the story of his life in the context of planning for the Dangerous tour. The musical performances are superb - this theatre also has the acoustic chops so that you can understand every word and hear every instrument.
David, 23 Oct 2025
Fantastic dance numbers!
It was the second time we’ve seen it, still took our breath away. The singing was exceptional, the dance numbers were amazing. I would definitely recommend for all- out children all enjoyed it and they are 7, 14 and 16.
Genever, 23 Oct 2025
Grabs you from the get go!
Such a great visual performance! Great tracks and great story line! Was the second time I went to see this and I was still Wow-ed!! 👌🏽
Panna, 22 Oct 2025
Theatre in London is really on another level!
The show was absolutely amazing. It showed the key points in MJs life and especially focused on the trauma from his childgood and the resulting pressure he puts on himself. Wth the help of songs they smoothly switched back and forth in time.
Hannah, 18 Oct 2025
Excellent West End Show
Thoroughly enjoyed. A most for MJ fans
Barkatali, 16 Oct 2025
Amazing
Coming from Australia we went to the afternoon show on Thursday. It was amazing from the start and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend it 100%x
Dianne, 12 Oct 2025
Great show
Great show, would've liked more songs during the audience participation
Gary, 11 Oct 2025
Fantastic show.
This was a truly brilliant production. The singing, dancing and storytelling by using different actors for three different stages of Michael Jackson’s life was genius. All three actors gave a superb performance. I cannot praise them enough. Thoroughly enjoyable would definitely recommend.
Marilyn, 09 Oct 2025
Excellent singing and music
Loved it but wish it was his music singing and dancing rather that the older music. But very good show
Hayley, 09 Oct 2025
Beat it to see MJ The Musical
Fantastic production about life of Michael Jackson. Superb performances by the 'Michael's' and rest of cast. Great choreography and costumes.
Helen, 07 Oct 2025
Lacked energy and sometimes hard to hear script
Seat position was excellent. Show was average
Piera Lisa, 03 Oct 2025

MJ songs sung all and best in theatre. Love every moment.
Yah Tak, 26 Sep 2025
Seamless
excellent can’t believe it took me so long to see it
Waqqas, 23 Sep 2025
Fabulous performance and music
The story telling told throughout the three key moments in MJs life together with the fabulous music and ensemble cast was fabulous. The dancers were astounding. The Thriller scene was an absolute showstopper! Would happily watch again! Enjoy.
Sharron, 20 Sep 2025
Good choice
The show was amazing and si much energy and life
Thavaranjitham, 19 Sep 2025
BRILLIANT SHOW, THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE MJ’S
MJ The musical was excellent. The 3 ages of Michael - different actors/singers/dancers - were all fantastic. The singing, acting, dancing and all the musicians were incredible. I loved every moment.
KAREN, 19 Sep 2025
You wanna be dancing!
If you love funky pop music, you’ll love it.
Marie-Odile, 19 Sep 2025
What a Show!
Outstanding show..all performers great. So much talent, and obviously hard work, evident.
Richard, 19 Sep 2025
Creative

Tina, 18 Sep 2025

John, 17 Sep 2025
Fast paced musical
It was professionally presented, well performed.
Geoffrey, 16 Sep 2025
Great show...super dancing and singing
Well worth seeing. A feel good production.

MJ rocked!
Every cast member was excellent, sets and scenery excellent, choreography was amazing. This is my new favorite musical ! Loved the performance of “Man in the Mirror “…heartwarming.
Donna, 12 Sep 2025
Amazing, Awesome, Fantastic
Fantastic show, very well written, brilliantly acted, totally amazed and astounded by the whole thing, much, much more than expected, massively enjoyable.
Scott, 10 Sep 2025
Loved It
The show was really good….would definitely recommend if you are coming to London. Would watch again…
LATANAYA, 10 Sep 2025
One more favorite in London
Fantastic voices and dancers
Rimma, 08 Sep 2025
MJ The Musical
Amazing performance! Would definitely recommend & see it again myself! Great place to sit, me being slightly shorter than average just couldn’t see the performers feet at times for the moon walk etc. The show included all MJ’s brilliant hits, his life & his personality.
Hayley, 07 Sep 2025
A great show for everyone
My advice is not to use your phone and try not to disrupt other people who come to see this show from all over the world. I think the Thriller interpretation was amazing and the heal the world and TDCAU was spot on. My favorite part of the show. Also the MJ that receives the Grammys is my favorite MJ. Voice 15/10, dancing 20/10, spot on.
Katarzyna, 04 Sep 2025
Singers out of tune and poor story line
Shocked at the MJ theatre production. I saw this years ago and it was fantasticly driven by the music and dancing to celebrate an icon. This was awful as none of the actors could sing properly and the storyline was about him being a diva on stage. Genuinely awful and hard to watch.
Pnasche, 03 Sep 2025
Superb show
Any fan of MJ ought not to miss this! An incredible script of one of the greatest artists of all time! Great ambience at the Prince Edward Theatre and it was a full house, as was the case in NYC where we saw the same show last week at the Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway :) So we were able to compare and contrast the two shows. Would definitely recommend to see either of the shows at London or nyc though between the two, the NYC performance was a tighter show and the artists at nyc were better.
Karthik, 01 Sep 2025
Best dance show on town!
Amazing dancing and all the MJ classics! Great feel good show!
Shamaela, 31 Aug 2025
It was very colourful and entertaining. The story kept you watching with interest to the end.
we enjoyed the show very much. It was very entertaining, the dancing was excellent and the singing was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed the show through out. We would recommend anyone to visit and experience the show.
GONCE, 31 Aug 2025
vibrant show
I would strongly recommend it
Jarir, 30 Aug 2025
Great Tribute to a Great Artist
As a fan of Michael and the Jacksons since childhood, the show is a great tribute to their music and success in an era and industry which was so tough for black musicians. The story was really well told in between the great music and dances with good scenery and special effects. Really enjoyed hearing Michael's songs live.
Leila, 29 Aug 2025
A convincing performance of an intriguing story (and you can’t beat the Jackson repertoire)!
The lead character played a very convincing Michael Jackson! Lead vocalist were excellent (the reporter in the story had an exceptional voice that I would’ve loved to have heard more). Some pitch issues out of the younger actors and at times vocals were drowned out by the backup Orchestra. That said, the band and Orchestra were excellent. Very entertaining! I absolutely would recommend this show to anyone!
Peter, 27 Aug 2025
Fantastic!
A wonderfull play. Great acting singing and dancing. And worth visiting because of the story of MJ that will be present (partly of course).
Jeroen, 24 Aug 2025
Creative and thoughtful show
The show was amazing, I hadn't known what to expect but I think the way it was done, transitioning in and out of his early life was very creative and well done. I would've liked more songs but it was brilliant nonetheless. The actors were amazing, they captured the true essence of MJ, I was really moved. Singing was amazing and all the Michael's did a fantastic job as did the other actors . Would go again and would recommend.
Louise, 22 Aug 2025
Fantastic show
Even if you think you know everything, this show is worth seeing
Eva, 18 Aug 2025

Shirley, 18 Aug 2025
MJ brought backbto life

Karen, 17 Aug 2025

Charlie, 10 Aug 2025
Nice show
We wasn't able to understand the main actor speech sadly. But the show itself was decent. The dances, the songs. Nice show overall. The plot was meh.
Yosef, 09 Aug 2025
Not as good as I thought it would be
Personally we thought there would be more MJ hits in it . We found the performance was slow . The child MJ was really good though.
Pauline, 09 Aug 2025
Amazing!

We loved the show. It looked so real
Seema, 24 Jul 2025
Good show
Dancing and singing up to standards. Fans of Michael Jackson will be pleased. However some epic songs are shortened leaving audience unsatisfied or wanting more.

Cath, 19 Jul 2025
Incredible performances by all
I am not even a massive Michale Jackson fan.. more heavy rock , yet amzed by quality of singing , dancing and stage show . My wife and I loved every moment - standibng ovations were automatic by all the audience . Best show i wver saw at a theatre
David, 19 Jul 2025
Colorful and fun to watch very entertaining
The whole cast worked so hard to put this together and the show was amazing thank you for making a great birthday
Sharon, 18 Jul 2025
Incredible dancing
Best suited to those who love the music of Michael Jackson, it dramatises the period before his early 1990’s Dangerous tour, with flashbacks to his childhood. Poignant and thought provoking.
Karen, 17 Jul 2025
Phenomenal musical!
I saw the MJ musical twice, loved it both times !!!
Maria A., 16 Jul 2025
Outstanding & A Must See!
The show was outstanding! The music, the acting the production the stage the band the dancers were all incredible. It really is a class act of a show. The sets were beautiful, I havent seen a play in a long time that has been this good. I went with my family from Australia and we were all mesmerized the entire time. Well worth the time and money.
Anushka, 15 Jul 2025
OMG!! 🤩
Absolutely fantastic show! Amazing cast and band, wish I could go and see it all again - but have to go home to Hong Kong 😉
Jo, 14 Jul 2025
Was ok
It was ok, a lot of acting but actually not that much singing (or just a part of the songs). MJ voice and dancing was not comparable to the original MJ
Sebastien, 13 Jul 2025
The best musical in the West End by a mile!
The most exceptional acting, singing and overall performance I’ve ever seen. I will be seeing this again and again and again because I just want more!!!
Sabina, 12 Jul 2025
Fabulous musical theatre show!
Took my 12 year old daughter who absolutely loved the show. She has seen many musicals and now this is at the No.1 position as her favourite. Great show very nostalgic. Wonderful cast with great energy. Don’t buy AA tickets got stiff neck but it’s what I could afford. Would love to go again.
RAFAELLA, 10 Jul 2025
One of the best experiences of my life
Keep your phones off and enjoy the moment. Don’t bring noisy/crispy food, it’s annoying for other people. The show was energetic that is what made it so good.
Christiane, 09 Jul 2025
A fantastic portrayal of MJ
It’s a story about Michael from his early childhood as a young star told through “Michael” as an adult. The singing, dancing and acting were all brilliant, especially Jamaal who plays Michael Jackson. Great cast; fabulous show. Would highly recommend.
Diane, 07 Jul 2025
excellent show
we tried to see this in USA but prices were so high . More affordable here and easier to get to see it on shorter notice. amazing music, excellent dancing and well written and choreographed. story a little sad but the show was enjoyable and excellent. i understand his life and the story behind his songs so much more. May he rest in peace and hopefully found the happiness and fulfillment he so desperately sought
Warren, 04 Jul 2025
Fantastic
Loved every minute
Maria, 04 Jul 2025
