MJ the Musical is the electrifying stage celebration of one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived — a jukebox musical spectacular that traces Michael Jackson's journey from child prodigy in Gary, Indiana, to the creation of his iconic 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Playing at the Prince Edward Theatre in the heart of Soho, steps from Oxford Street and a short walk from Tottenham Court Road tube, the show features over 25 of Jackson's most beloved tracks performed by a dazzling cast with choreography so faithful to the original that it stops the show repeatedly.
For fans of music biography theatre, MJ sits alongside Tina: The Musical at the Aldwych Theatre as one of the most electrifying accounts of a real musical life on the London stage. Where jukebox musicals are concerned, it has the wall-to-wall hit density of Mamma Mia! at the Novello Theatre, but with the added frisson of Jackson's peerless back catalogue — Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, Man in the Mirror — delivered with jaw-dropping live performance energy. If the idea of a music event built around catalogue classics appeals, ABBA Voyage at the ABBA Arena offers a very different but equally spectacular take.
The Prince Edward Theatre is a gorgeous mid-sized West End venue with excellent sightlines from virtually every seat, making it a great choice for groups and solo theatre-goers alike. MJ the Musical is suitable for all ages — teenagers in particular tend to be completely transfixed — and the standing ovations are practically a nightly occurrence. Book your London West End tickets for MJ the Musical and prepare to spend the entire show on the edge of your seat.
