MJ – The Musical at James M. Nederlander Theatre

MJ The Musical

We’re ‘gonna be startin’ somethin’’ - and that is to plant the seed that MJ The Musical is the single greatest opportunity this year that you simply can’t afford to miss! The creative team behind MJ Musical was ‘startin’ somethin’’ - and we’re gobbling it up to the very last crumb!

Got expectations? Expectto have them totally destroyed!

MJ The Musical smashed onto the stage of the Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway in 2022 followed by its West End premiere in 2024.

What to expect from MJ

It’s everything one could expect in a musical - an a stellar cast, toe-tapping music everybody knows and loves, sensational choreography that makes you wonder about reincarnation and resurrections, flamboyant costumes, a band that performs Michael Jackon’s music almost better than Michael Jackson’s own band, incredible visuals drenched in vivid colours, special effects that are out of this world, and of course, all the feels.

Whether you are a hardcore Michael Jackson fan or not, you are guaranteed to leave the Nederlander Theatre at Ford Center for the Performing Arts totally speechless.

Reviews throw around words such as ’thrilling’, ’soul-stirring’, out of this world’, and ‘triumphant’, and it is easy to understand why. MJ The Musical is a huge box office success and racked up no less than four Tony Awards from ten nominations that includes the award for Best Musical. The original cast recording was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

MJ The Musical is a wonderful scenic journey exploring the story of Michael Jackson - the innovative, the mercurial star, the addict, the unreasonable boss, the eerily childish adult, the perfectionist, the artist.

MJ The Musical is a total rollercoaster, bound to take you from wanting to dance to belting out the lyrics of your favorite Michael Jackson hit, from choreography that makes you question a few things to being reduced to a teary mess in ‘Man In The Mirror’.

In short: MJ The Musical is other-worldly, it’s iconic, it’s breathtaking, it’s pretty much everything one could possibly want and more. It’s a total ‘thriller’, it’s ‘rocking the world’, it’s a ‘jam’, and it ‘won’t stop ‘til you’ve had enough’!
