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.

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.

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.

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

A must see!
MJ the Musical is a must see, an absolute blast & simply amazing!!! It is nonstop entertainment & a true insight into the career highlights of a musical genius, dancing master and greatest entertainer of the 20th/21st centuries. What a brilliant show- the dancing, singing, live music, clever time jumping storyline, sets & performances are all first class. This musical enables you to feel Michael Jackson’s incredible spirit, legendary talents & iconic status no matter what age you are. It is a total thriller, chiller & killer of a show!!!

ted, 10 Jun 2025
Excellent Show
A fantastic show of great talent in both singing and dancing. Michael’s story bought to life and told in a brilliant and sensitive way. The singing and dancing blew me away.
Melinda, 09 Jun 2025

Angela, 06 Jun 2025
a journey through time
Great actors, great stage designs but in my opinion there were too many flashbacks to youth, which took the momentum out of the show
Annette, 06 Jun 2025
Brilliant show
The whole show from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. The performers,music and story held your attention.would definitely recommend MJ.
Grahame, 05 Jun 2025

Leandra, 03 Jun 2025
Please respond with an answer
Why near the end was the show halted? Was there a technical issue or an injury?
Jack, 02 Jun 2025
Spectacularly done!
I took my 10 year old son to see MJ Musical at the Prince Edward Theatre in London on 29-May-25. We had not seen the trailer or learned about the show before our visit, so I was thinking that the show was akin to a concert, with the actors singing and dancing Michael Jackson's most popular songs back-to-back. This wasn't the case, but I was pleasantly surprised with the arrangement of the show, which took the audience through key moments of Michael's life up to when he started his Dangerous tour. It was spectacularly done! All the actors were superb, but the actor that played Michael (André Phipps) really did shine - and literally!
Fariha, 30 May 2025
MJ the musical - brilliant show!!
The premise of the story was clear from the start - the music was unexpected, and it was good to hear some less popular songs alongside the big tunes. Great dancing, guys!! Well done!! The female singer (MJ's mothe's character sang SO well!! Great voice!!
Shamima, 27 May 2025
Outstanding!
Without doubt one of the best live shows I’ve seen. The actors playing MJ are absolutely on point. Incredible voices and dancers - just like the man himself! Could mistaken for the real thing. Brilliant story line full of emotion, energy and entertainment throughout.

Abs fan bloody tastic. MJ was fab, so full of energy and real likeness to MJ in spirit, energy, voice, rhythm. And the rest of the staff were fab-u-lous too! Second time we have seen it and loved it just as much!
janet, 08 May 2025
Incredible talented group!
Challenging not to leave the theatre dancing - any MJ fan or anyone curious about his music should enjoy. Balanced the sadness with his joy of music.
Diane, 07 May 2025
Absolutely thrilling!
I don't think you'll ever find a better MJ performer. Voice, appearance and dancing were all perfect. It was so exciting, so much fun and a wonderful celebration.

Great show - amazing dancing and set!
If you like MJ's music, this is for you. Couldn't believe how well MJ's character and moves were portrayed! The precision of the dance and the whole set up was amazing! Seeing the show gave me a bit of comfort not having seen MJ perform in real life! Thank you!

Memorable experience
Katherine, 25 Apr 2025
A Must See For Everybody
I went with my wife, and 3 daughters (ages 16, 14 and 10) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the show, returning again 4 months later to watch it again!. It is unlike any other show we have seen - by far the best theatre production I have seen in my 35 years of theatre attendance. Everything is borderline perfection - the music, lighting, sound, costumes, storyline, pacing, dancing, acting, and oh the vocals ! Just incredible. Whether you are an MJ fan or not, don't debate this - just go ! You will be positively thinking and talking about it for weeks later.
Ismayeel, 24 Apr 2025
Amazing entertainment
Great show for all ages but especially for people who loved Michael Jackson in his prime
Georgina, 24 Apr 2025
A must see!
It was very entertaining. The main character was so real. It brought MJ back o life.
Hannatu, 23 Apr 2025
A must see!
Great show, great staff in the theater, fantastic
LAETITIA, 21 Apr 2025
MJ story without a story
The musical is a series of MJ hits arranged in a chronological order as he tells the story of his success to an interviewer. In my opinion, the story lacks a true character. MJ is shown as a lonely person not willing to talk about his life that is perhaps true, but some more details would make the story more entertaining. The music is too loud for my taste. All in all, MJ fans were enjoying the show, as I noticed.
Maria, 20 Apr 2025
Belting!
Loved the show. Great entertainment. Theatre staff great too. Thanks everyone involved❤️
roy, 19 Apr 2025

Diana, 16 Apr 2025
A must for every MJ fan
All the dancers were really fantastic. Congratulations for their performance.
Mihaela, 15 Apr 2025
Fantastic !!
A superb and uplifting production that brings Michael Jackson’s story to life through his own eyes. It offers a poignant glimpse into his childhood, the complex relationship with his strict father, and the personal demons he faced as an adult. All of this is powerfully underscored by an electrifying score of his greatest hits.
Sharon, 14 Apr 2025
Amazing voice and excellent acting with decent stage
The actor for Michael was amazing! The voice, the moves, the looks - everything was there. All the popular songs were included and the atmosphere in the audience was great.
Anniks, 14 Apr 2025
Best show ever!
My husband is the most reluctant ‘show goer’ ever … he only bought us tickets to make me happy … afterwards he said MJ was The Best Show he has ever seen. Loved every minute of it! As did I.
Michelle, 13 Apr 2025
Perfect lovely
What a phenomenal fantastic show that was! We had such a great time being able to sing, dance and just enjoy the music from the legend Michael Jackson. The cast and crew were amazing. Really just an outstanding performance. If we could give more than five stars we would.

Alison, 01 Mar 2025
Great cast, music and production.
Get you smiling with the music - which I'll assume you'll know and like. Great rendition, though there was some minor mistiming between band and vocals early on. Narrative is sometimes patchy .Good cast & stage work (sets,lighting, scene changes). Strongly recommended.
