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.

Great acting, Uneven, Great singing, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if you want to experience the Tony-winning star turn from Myles Frost. You will very much feel like you are watching Michael Jackson himself.

Don't see it if if you need the narrative to be told in a highly compelling way. It isn’t, but the musical numbers provide plenty to entertain. Read more

Don't see it if You don't like Michael Jackson's Music. If you're looking for a deep, meaningful original story - the story is mostly a framing device Read more

Good choreography, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if You’re into MJ obviously and into the dance style. Even if he’s not your favourite this is a good juke box musical and performed with energy

Don't see it if You’re not keen on jukebox musicals or MJ. Staging was also a bit bland and unimaginative.
