Spectacular musical about Michael Jackson's life and career!!! Gift given to me , his lifelong fan , and to my family who thanked me because the experience was memorable.... The only flaw was the purchase of 4 side seats up high from which we could see half the stage and AT THE IDEA OF SPENDING 2 1/2 HOURS WITH THE NECK TURNED RIGHT WITH THE BACK of the lighting structure had us worried. Fortunately, the girl who was supervising the hall noticed our nmal dissatisfaction and got us to talk to the manager who switched us to some unsold seats..and that's how we resolved it. We did not take pictures because it was forbidden.

I loved the musical. I felt like I was on Broadway with the incredible sound and the sets! Unfortunately, I have to say that there wasn't much leg room, 2h30 is a long time without being able to stretch out your legs... A lady from security caught me because the people in front of me were complaining of "violent kicks" when I was just getting back into place, and a father (who had longer legs than me) was separated from his wife and children because of this, which I think is a shame, given the price ...

My first musical in London. What a treat! An amazing show, actors bursting with talent. I'm impressed and still in a dream. I thought the actors chosen to play MJ were very well cast and the result is very realistic. The staging is really well thought out and relevant. The sets are magnificent. The 2½ hours flew by. What's more, I feel that the layout of the theater means that no matter where you sit, the show is just as good. Definitely worth seeing!

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

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

I liked the way MJ's story was told. I also particularly liked the MJ actor as a teenager.

In a sumptuous classical setting, exceptional singers and dancers take us back to the end of the last century, and more precisely to the 80s. Dynamic choreography and grandiose staging punctuate this show dedicated to MJ. We're filled with emotions and memories as we listen to MJ's music, which has never aged, and the exceptional moonwalk, which makes our hearts tumble with happiness. A unique, suspended moment.

The show was wonderful, the organization was impeccable, and the staff was courteous. The performers managed to immerse themselves perfectly in their roles. Thank you, Michael. Thank you, London! (I'm not uploading any photos because it was forbidden to take them!)
