Fantastic! This musical should be made available on streaming platforms for everyone to see.

Absolutely, on streaming platforms

Using famous dancers as a way to set the stage for MJ's dance is such an amazing premise & the execution is outstanding! Great job

[@Blazer9970]

Yes and its also pretty clever as im sure those are all dancers that have inspired MJ in real life.

[@dereklewisgrayfilms2207]

With all the crap that has happened against MJ's legacy the last several years, what Myles Frost and The MJ Musical have done is make it about the music again!! This is the hottest ticket in town especially after the win. Michael lives on!!!

Exactly, lets to what Michael did and fuck them kids. Who cares what he did, only music and making money matters.

Well-deserved Tony for Christopher Wheeldon for the choreography

[@Meetyouthere777]

Where is Jeffrey Daniels choreography credit and MJ original dancers😢

[@astropioneer3296]

It was a nice evening out, but the through line the writers chose to hang the story on didn't do it for me. Wish they lost the whole MTV interview subplot and focused more on Michael's life story, something I thought the Tina Musical did really well. Guess I left the theater not knowing Michael much better than when I went in. And if you're going to includeThriller and Smooth Criminal, why on earth did they leave out the iconic dances from the music videos?!? Those are essential parts of those songs. Sigh... Favorite part was Human Nature segment. And childhood Michael was AMAZING!

[@MT-fr4ld]

Myles Frost is BRILLIANT and the entire cast and team are incredible. I can't stop watching the KZbins after seeing the show in person. Breathtaking and I am going back to New York to see it again. This is definitely worth it. So proud of Myles, his family and the MJ Musical team.

[@Greg-fs2rh]

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. The Fosse segment alone was worth the price of admission. Absolutely beautifully done. It pretty much left me breathless.

[@gris126]

I had no idea he was one of MJs biggest inspirations, I'm not exaggerating when I say my head was exploding during that scene.

[@racheldavie5030]

I saw this last week with Jamal Fields-Green, one of the understudies. He was also amazing. I can see that Myles is possibly the better dancer which is huge for portraying MJ, but to me, Jamal was a cleaner vocalist and was able to capture MJ's unique tone. Both are incredibly talented and I'm not trying to make it a competition, but it just goes to show how talented MJ was as both a fantastic dancer and vocalist in one body and it would be nigh impossible for another single person to replicate that entirely. All in all it was a truly talented cast and a very emotional show. To all the media critics grumbling about how it doesn't address the allegations, this is because they want this alone to be MJ's legacy. Firstly, a musical is not a court of law and secondly the musical does in fact reference many rumours and media lies being circulated about MJ. The difference is MJ is given a voice in the show and is allowed to show us his pain. For anyone hoping to go and see a show that drags down MJ or makes sinister references without having done the most basic of research around the allegations, then that says more about them. This show celebrates that above all MJ was about music, hard work and the African American legacy.

[@michelleclark8099]

I saw it this past Wednesday. I did not want to leave.

[@aneiciaw2888]

Agree with you 1000% -- I've seen them both in the mJ role and they each have their own subtle interpretations of Michael... both of them are sick with it though and I was filled with the Uncle Mike spirit throughout both of their performances. The casting decisions are A-1 for this production and I am soooo looking forward to Elijah's interpretation... I am going to see him in July/August this year.

[@AshtonNanke]

The “Workin’ Day and Night” motifs in the Fred Astaire dance section are so cool, cannot wait to see this show next month!

[@FrankieinDC]

Watch "Girl Hunt Ballet" scene from Band Wagon and then watch "Smooth Criminal." You can see MJ's homage to Astaire. The scrim between Act 1 & 2 in the musical has his jotted notes and that's on it.

[@Carmour700]

Finally, I had the chance to see with Myles Frost as Michael Jackson before he leaves. This was my first Broadway show, and it went beyond my expectations! This one is the best! I would see it again when I get another chance, and when it’s coming to Atlanta!

[@ElizaHamilton1780]

I have to say, the cast album for this show has to be the best one I’ve heard. Sure, there are other jukebox musicals out there, but MJ the Musical’s cast album comes the closest to sounding like an actual pop album-or like one of Michael Jackson’s albums. You’ve swung for the fences and it’s paid off.

[@keithcunningham3131]

Saw the show for the second time last week and I still can’t stop thinking about it. Sitting front row center made me able to appreciate everything down to the smallest details. The choreography, the acting, the costumes…. In every single number like this one… but ESPECIALLY during THRILLER… which alone is worth the price of a ticket!!! Both times I went, Myles wasn’t there but his understudy Aramie Payton is a STAR and made me feel like I was watching THE MJ!! And Tavon Olds-Sample who plays Michael as a teenager and through the Thriller years needs to get more recognition because he is is also amazing! Also love the young boy who plays little Michael, as well as the actors who plays Joe and Katherine. What am I saying?? The entire cast is superb!! Do not miss this show!!! ❤️🔥🎼
