Incredible signing and dancing
"The show was excellent. The actors who played Michael Jackson sounded just like him. Its is pretty ambitious to portray the King of Pop with his classic sound and one of a kind stage presence, but they did it. We had so much fun enjoying these incredible songs performed by amazing performers. My son (age 6) loves MJ and came with us. He was engaged during all of the songs, which is most of the musical, but a bit lost during the talking scenes (very few) which is understandable given the adult themes discussed during those brief periods. The audience was dancing to some of the most popular songs. I would recommend the show to anyone, especially Michael Jackson fans (is there anyone out there that isn't?). It was also really interesting to learn more about him. Definitely go and see this show!"

It made me feel like a teenager again!
"I was a teenager in the 1980’s when Michael Jackson became a huge pop star of all time. Watching this performance teleported me back to being a teenager again! The Jackson 5 performance on Soul Train and the Thriller performance was the greatest I have ever seen in NYC ! The cast, crew, and talent was the best I have ever witnessed. Thank you for the journey of his life and bringing back those memories. "

Great Show
"The show was amazing. I got chills watching the lead actor. The singer sounded like MJ himself. The two little boys who played a young MJ were so talented. We sat in the mezzanine and the seats were good. Nice theater."

Awsome!
"Spectacular performances by all actors but especially the older MJ performance! Only critique would be transition of characters who played different roles. Was confused at times who was who since it was the same actor."

MJ on Broadway: Power, Complexity, and Legacy
"MJ review: Great set. Strong story. I went in expecting it to focus mostly on the positives, but it gave real perspective and didn’t shy away from complexity. The performances were sharp, the music hit every time, and the pacing kept things moving. It balanced talent, pressure, and humanity in a way that felt honest. You leave appreciating the genius while also understanding the weight that came with it. Overall, a powerful show and well worth seeing. I’d see it again without hesitation."

Stunning dance & musical tribute overall
"“MJ” offers exceptional dance & vocals, for a true tribute to Michael Jackson. The lead actor absolutely channeled Michael, completely doing his shy-high standards justice! The music was POWERFUL, dancing remarkable & theatre perfect. The plot got old relative to Joe Jackson - way too dark for youths - and I wish they’d gone beyond “Dangerous.” But we better understood in the end what Michael may have experienced & why the world lost him. And enjoyed every second of experiencing his talent again…plus this opportunity to pay tribute to him ourselves. "

Celebrates the artistry of MJ
"The music, dancing and costumes were great. I have always loved the music as it was the soundtrack of life growing up. It was interesting, and sad, to hear some of the history of the creation of the music. Clearly MJ was a complicated person with a complicated family etc. This focuses on the artistry of the music and dance of a complicated, and deeply talented person."

AMAZING! Every dancer was AWESOME, & the singers nailed it!
"I was a little skeptical at first because of the talent required to emulate perfection (even for Broadway). But I left, truly amazed at the high level of energy and expertise displayed by this exceptional cast! You all represented MJ with grace and dignity that highlighted his talent. You did a great job touching on some of the challenges he faced, without exploiting salacious headlines, rumors, or the "dark side" that we all ignored for years. There is a unique opportunity for you to create a sequel that dives into the inner struggles faced by MJ, as he was surrounded by enablers, who benefitted from his dysfunctional upbringing (child abuse, DV etc.), though he reached the pinnacle of fame. Your cast has the ability to create new content, with MJ's voice/talent to potray this "textbook" example of a failed system, hindered resillience, and exploitation, that was witnessed by the world, yet ignored until we were ready to destroy him, with our fake dismay."

Excellent night of entertainment
"The lead actors were very good and have been well chosen to represent such a brilliant singer. The back-up cast was also first class and full of enthusiasm for the show. Stage presentation was also well put together. The music was tremendous. The only negative - could have done without the gum-chewing member of the band. A bit of a unfortunate distraction right behind the actors."
