Ready for a night of legendary music, iconic dance moves and pure pop spectacle? MJ the Musical brings the artistry of Michael Jackson to the Broadway stage, making it a must-see for longtime fans and anyone looking for an unforgettable night out in New York City.
The Tony-winning ‘MJ the Musical’ is bringing a Thriller of a night to Broadway this month
A four-time Tony Award-winning production, the show centers on the creation of Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour, giving you an inside glimpse into the creative process behind some of his most celebrated performances. Created by Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon (An American in Paris, The Winter’s Tale, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage (Ruined, Sweat, Clyde’s), the musical combines a compelling story with dazzling choreography and more than 25 of Jackson’s biggest hits.
From “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” to “Thriller,” the production features beloved hits and signature dance moves, offering a closer look at the artistry behind the music. The result feels unmistakably MJ, from the energy of the music to the iconic choreography. And you don’t need to be a regular theatergoer to enjoy it either! If you grew up listening to MJ or recently discovered his music through the biopic, seeing these performances live brings a whole new way to appreciate his influence.
The show takes place at the historic Neil Simon Theatre, which first opened back in 1927 as the Alvin Theatre. Now, nearly a century later, the landmark Broadway venue is home to the show-stopping MJ the Musical, making it the perfect place to see this production celebrating one of music’s most iconic performers in history.
The Midtown Manhattan location makes it easy to grab drinks before or after the performance, so whether you’re planning a fall date night or simply want to experience the King of Pop’s music in a new way, MJ the Musical delivers a Thriller night on Broadway just in time for spooky season.
