MJ The Musical

The creative team's painstaking work has resulted in a riveting, adrenaline rush of a show, propelled by remarkable dancing and a mesmerizing central performance by Myles Frost.

MJ, like its subject, is captivating and hard to shake. The musical takes audiences through Jackson's life and catalog with impressive ease.

The authorized biomusical MJ wants very much to freeze Michael Jackson in 1992. It is a deftly crafted jukebox nostalgia trip.

MJ is trying to have it both ways. It wants to blame everything sad and weird about Jackson on others but credit him alone for his every good deed and success.

In answer to the question of whether it's possible to separate the art from the artist, MJ performs a slick, crotch-grabbing sidestep.
