The show was incredible however we sat in the front row and there must of been a dead rodent under the stage because of the foul odor. Hopefully they can find whatever is making that smell.

A comfortable, safe, and family-friendly atmosphere that’s easy to enjoy from any seat. The show was excellent, with stunning lighting effects, choreography, music, and exceptional dancers; the actors performed each act with great intensity and professionalism. Special mention goes to all the actors who portrayed MJ at different ages and, through their voices, conveyed a wide range of emotions—from joy to sadness—with Lenny Jay standing out in particular, leaving an emotional impression of pure enjoyment. Congratulations

The skill of the lead performer (and the corps de ballet) is truly breathtaking. The finale is particularly noteworthy—it’s original, unexpected, and explosive. The set designs and the coordination required to change them so quickly—making it seem like a magic trick—offer a glimpse into all the preparatory work that goes on behind the scenes. To say it’s highly recommended is an understatement.
