Great staging, Precise & slick, Musical bio, Fantastic lead, cast & ensemble, Beloved music

See it if you enjoy complex musical biographies performed with beauty & integrity. The dancing moves/steps are precision timing.

Don't see it if pop musical bios are not your preferred choice of show.

Dance, Vocals, Entertaining

See it if You're a Michael Jackson fan and you want to hear some of his best songs with a great cast and live band!

Don't see it if You are expecting a story covering the whole of MJ's life, this story stops in the 1990s.

Great singing, Overrated, Banal, Quirky, Great acting

See it if you like Michael Jackson's music and want to see extraordinary actors perform

Don't see it if you care about storylines and writing because it's slow and honestly just a boring story
