Critics reviews

“We’re taken by Myles Frost’s spell-binding ‘MJ’ on a hectic ride… Christopher Wheeldon’s production is a superlatively directed and choreographed piece of absolute pizzaz.”

- The Standard

“Each song has a message here… a spectacular second-act number shows MJ dueting with dance greats… the show’s avoidance of Jackson’s scandals raises ethical questions.”

- The Independent

A magnificent theater in the bustling streets of London, an extraordinary show that brings MJ's life and career back to life. Exceptional performers, both as a young MJ and as an adult. Timeless music that is a pleasure to listen to again. A sublime show that my wife and I recommend to anyone spending even just one evening in London.

An absolutely spectacular show! Time flew by without us even noticing. The dancers and singers were outstanding and full of energy. The only small downside was the seating, as you had to lean forward to fully see the entire stage and performers. Still, an unforgettable experience!
