Great show for all ages.

"One of the best broadway musicals I’ve ever seen. I was amazed how they worked the transitions of the story and the music. NO ONE will ever be Michael Jackson but the cast did an amazing job. "

Julissan M from Kissimmee on Oct 20, 2026

Had to see it for the second time!

"I am a huge fan of Broadway and a huge Michael Jackson fan. My wife and I have been going to plays since we’re 17 years old (over 60 now). The way they depicted his life and career within the play script was brilliant. Basing around the rehearsal of his 1992 world tour and using flashbacks was well done. The acting, singing, dancing and song choice was done to perfection. I just may see it again for the third time! 😊"

Absolutely Amazing!

"We loved the show. The set changes were great as were most the actors/dancers. The storyline was very creative and took you through his life in flashbacks. There were a couple intense music moments which might startle younger children but was fine for my 11 & 14 year old boys. "

A Big Birthday Review

"I personally am not a big fan of musicals but as it was my wife’s big birthday it was her choice and I can honestly say that I fully enjoyed it The only fault I would say is that the theatre was a little cold could of done with having my sweater on apart from that I would highly recommend this show "
