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.

Lindsey, 15 Apr 2024
Incredible show! The show exceeded all my expectations. Of course the music was awesome, but the acting, directions, story… everything was great. I couldn’t recommend this more. The best show I’ve seen in years.l and Myles who plays Michael is outstanding; even his movement and mannerisms are spot on…. No wonder we won a Tony!

Great night out
Jane, 10 Apr 2024
Energetic, colourful and thought provoking I thoroughly enjoyed the show, all the actors were excellent. The background and stage of different scenes were amazing. However the metamorphosis of MJ complexion and personality changes could have been portrayed more accurately.
Cecilia, 10 Apr 2024
Amazing! Very clever how the story was told and Michael was brilliant!
Voice, body language, stance, dance moves, he played the part down to a t! There were moments you had to remind yourself that it wasn’t really him!
Sian, 06 Apr 2024
Excellent Worth travelling from aus
Linda, 06 Apr 2024
Phenomenal I have no words to express how phenomenal this show is. The whole world needs to see it. It was funny, sad in parts, uplifting and eye opening. A show of pure talent and genius. Dancing, lighting, music, story line and amazing pure talented actors and dancers. Blew me and my 14 year old daughter away. The way in which the story was told threw the years was pure genius. All the actors who played MJ were truly outstanding. Thank you all
helen, 06 Apr 2024
Just amazing! Absolutely amazing show.
Only draw back was the two young teenagers with their mum infront of me who kept talking. Obviously too young to appreciate the MJ experience.
Sarah, 05 Apr 2024
wonderful dancing and singing brilliant loved it
Susan, 05 Apr 2024
Better than expected! Thoroughly enjoyed the show! Myles Frost is amazing! Highly recommended.
Zabeen, 05 Apr 2024
If you are a music lover... Absolutely fantastic show ....
I never got to see MJ live but this is the next best thing !!!!!
Faye, 04 Apr 2024
Phenomenal, surpassed my expectations!! This was amazing. Holidaying in London, this was my 11 year olds choice. He doesn’t like sitting still for long and has never made it through a full show… until now. We all loved it. I felt MJs story was told in a subtle yet obvious way, combining the history of the Jackson 5 with the more complex years in his height of fame. The guy who played Michael was so believable, and really made the show for me. It’s up there in my top 3 musicals of all time! A must see for anyone and everyone.
Kathleen, 04 Apr 2024
Brilliant Absolutely fantastic show, great acting, dancing and songs! Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended for all ages

Wow Amazing!!
KANA, 25 Mar 2024
Amazing This is one of the best musicals I have been to. Dancing, singing & choreography was excellent. Very high standard throughout the show. The actor that played Michael Jackson played the part brilliantly. Would highly recommend.
Donna, 24 Mar 2024
Was Expecting Better After watching Tina this was a let down, very scrambled at times with various MJs on stage with periods of his life. To slow with disjointed story line. Music and actors were good but was expecting more music then drama
Donald, 22 Mar 2024
Awesome show, much audience participation by all Easy to get to the theatre, all staff really helpful. As a kiwi I loved the audiences show of appreciation throughout the show. Ooohs Ahhhhh end applause. Well done everyone.
Margaret, 22 Mar 2024
100/10! The best musical that I've ever seen in my life! FENOMENAL! SPECTACULAR! I cannot recommend it enough
Anna, 20 Mar 2024
Fairly entertaining More music, and less supposed storyline would be my preference. Storyline was hard to hear and follow, as well as a bit disjointed.
Nigel, 20 Mar 2024
Brilliant dancing Loved the dancing.
Story jumped a bit.
Only one moon walk.
Could not hear speaking very muffled hard to follow.
Lynda, 20 Mar 2024
MJ a must see! Great night out for all the family. Great cast, musical arrangements, ensemble and a real star in Mike’s as MJ.
Even if you are not a MJ fan you will love this. Audience savoured every minute.
Debbie, 16 Mar 2024
The best I have ever seen This cast are incredible the whole show was absolutely incredible
I have grown up with Micheal Jackson from a child listening to him in my moms car
Never got to see him in concert before his passing and after seeing this today I was completely blown away from start to finish I could of sat for hours and still would go back and watch it over and over again. You all really are a credit to the show industry
Kim, 15 Mar 2024

Sarah, 13 Mar 2024
Unforgettable Amazing singing, acting, music,sets and lighting, I can't praise the show enough. A brilliant night out. A true reflection of the genius that was the King of Pop, Michael Jackson
Kathryn, 11 Mar 2024
The show of the year I’ve waited years to see this show. Couldn’t get tickets for it on Broadway . So thrilled. To see it here and with Myles Frost as MJ. It lived up to my expectations. Amazing production. Amazing night!
Stephanie, 10 Mar 2024
Outstandingly Really enjoyed the show also my 8 year old grandson loved it to
debra, 10 Mar 2024
Magical! I flew in from San Francisco to see Miles Frost in MJ The Musical! His electrifying performance is phenomenal!! A must see for all ages! I saw him in the New York show last year and bought tickets for the opening night in London show as soon as they became available! Waited a year for the dynamic performance!!! Thank you Miles for bringing your talent to London!!! I will most likely see the show a few more times as I will continue to bring friends!
Joyce, 08 Mar 2024
