About Michael Jackson & MJ

Michael Jackson is considered as one the world’s greatest entertainers and most prominent figures within the industry. His work in music has coined him the title of King of Pop. His album 'Thriller' is the best-selling album of all time. Not only does Jackson’s vision and success transcend the barriers of music itself, but his pioneering voice in the music industry demanded change and inclusion for black musicians of later generations.

In this Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, reimagined for the West End, MJ follows the period surrounding the conception of Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour, ultimately delving deeper into the ingenious mind of an incomparable superstar. MJ goes beyond the signature songs of the star, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the creative and collaborative spirits that cemented Jackson’s status as pop royalty.
