FEATURED REVIEWS FOR MJ the Musical

Review | ‘MJ’ is a sanitized Michael Jackson tribute
6 / 10

Depending on one's inclination, 'MJ' can be seen as a slick and lively tribute concert (with dancers, back-up singers, Jackson impersonators, and elaborate homage choreography), a by-the-numbers bio-jukebox musical (really not so different from all the others out there), or a defiant public relations effort to rebrand and refocus Jackson's image, reputation, and legacy.

Review: Michael Jackson musical is some thriller, lots bad
5 / 10

Nottage and director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon have one of the greatest music catalogues in the world and yet don't seem to know how to handle it. Some pivotal songs - like 'For the Love of Money' by The O'Jays - aren't by Jackson at all. And a large bulk of Jackson's songs used - including 'Earth Song,' 'Stranger in Moscow,' 'Price of Fame' and 'They Don't Care About Us' - were released after 1992. You can't have it both ways. Even so, nothing should take away from a tireless, fully-committed Myles Frost, who plays Jackson with a high, whispery voice, a Lady Diana-like coquettishness and a fierce embrace of Jackson's iconic dancing and singing style, right down to the rhythmic breathing and swiveling head. He Moonwalks insanely well.
