‘MJ,’ Musical About Michael Jackson, To Launch National Tour in 2023

MJ: The Musical is the talk of Broadway.

It has been announced starting in 2023 the musical will hit 17 major cities over two years.

It will kick off in Chicago in July 2023.

MJ: The Musical is about Michael Jackson's preparation for his Dangerous tour and his perfectionist approach.

Currently, the lead is Myles Frost as Michael Jackson.

The musical has most of Jackson's and the Jackson 5's big hits, including “ABC,” “Black or White,” “Blame it on the Boogie,” “Bad,” “Billie Jean,” “Off the Wall,” “Thriller” and “I’ll Be There.”

The framing technique for the bio is a fictional MTV film crew that has gotten access to capture Jackson’s 1992 “Dangerous” tour prep.

Jackson melts back in time to explain his career and approach, showing a perfectionist edge.

It is the work of playwright Lynn Nottage and director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. T

he musical has been approved by the Michael Jackson estate; Jackson died in 2009.

More about the cast for the tour will be learned at a later date.
