MJ – The Musical at James M. Nederlander Theatre

Everyone knows the music that Michael Jackson made famous, but do they know how he became a global pop sensation? This Broadway bonanza about the King of Pop explores the fascinating life story of Michael Jackson, particularly at the start of his 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Taken from the book by Lynn Nottage, this compelling musical production follows Michael Jackson as he's preparing to launch his career-defining stadium tour, from which all of the ticket revenue would go toward different charities, including the performer's own Heal the World Foundation. 

MJ the Musical has been amazing audiences since making its Broadway debut at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2021. At the 2022 Tony Awards, it earned ten nominations and came out on top in four categories, including Best Choreography and Best Actor in a Musical. Although the Broadway show is still fairly new, it's become one of the most financially successful musicals of all time, with ticket sales amounting to more than $200 million and counting.

Talented actors tackle the show's biggest roles, including some of Jackson's fellow performers and producers of his greatest hits. The life story of Michael Jackson centers around the King of Pop but features prominent influences like his brothers Tito, Jackie, and Marlon Jackson, his parents Katherine and Joe Jackson, plus Grammy Award-winning record producers Berry Gordy and Quincy Jones.

Ticket holders will experience the remarkable essence of Michael Jackson, from his early days recording timeless hits like "I Want You Back" and "ABC" to becoming one of the world's best-selling artists in the 1980s. While this show has its fair share of energetic musical numbers, it's also not without emotional moments from each of the top-billed actors gracing the stage.
