As usual it’s the mainstream media that like to stir controversy. In reality the public have a different opinion. MJ is huge, the musical will be a smash hit.
Funny thing is, nowadays when you read negative and misinformed articles about Michael Jackson, they’re mostly written by white feminists emboldened by the me too movement (I’m a woman by the way). It’s like they’re on a crusade where they only support white women (ex.white female artists) at all costs, while relentlessly going after men, especially minority men by promoting themselves as social justice warriors. To me, they act the same way or even worse than white men they accuse of being biased, judgmental, or racist. I thought that the me too movement would open avenues for all women to pursue equal rights such as equal pay but that hasn’t been the case. The only party that has capitalized on the me too movement is a group of privileged white feminists who aren’t pursuing equality but instead seeking power and fame by replacing men, especially white men in power.
I don’t believe that it’s naive to separate the art from the artist, and it’s also believe people should do there own research based on fact that MJ is innocent, the media seems to continue to shun Michael after his death and it’s easy to see, it’s also very easy to find the correct information on Michael and the allegations which he was acquitted of in court, so with both of those added up everyone should be able to enjoy the musical without feeling guilty or wrong for enjoying it. Your review was great and I found it very mature 😊
I’ll see it when the musical revamps during April 2025 biopic and the outcome of victory of MJ’s estate in February trial against Robson and Safechuck!!!! A trio of Michael Jacksons will become a quartet by splitting the role of Middle Michael into two separate versions (Teenage Michael and Young Adult Michael)!!!! Little Michael represents the J5 era, Teenage Michael represents late-Motown/Jacksons eras, Young Adult Michael represents Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad eras, MJ represents the Dangerous and later eras. That’ll be amazing!!! That group will all have lead roles, while Rob/Joe Jackson relegates into a supporting role. All four Michaels (Little Michael: Michael Jackson at age 10, Teenage Michael: Michael Jackson in his late teens and early 20s (17-23), Young Adult Michael: Michael Jackson in his mid 20s (24-26), and MJ: Michael Jackson in his late 20s - early 30s (27-33)) will sing solos, duets, trios, and quartets!!! They will be increasing their vocal range from the original Broadway version (Little Michael’s lowest is G3; while all the other three Michaels’ (Teenage Michael, Young Adult Michael, and MJ) lowest note each is G2 and highest for all four is C6!!!) ❤❤❤ I also hope when it releases a cast album which includes all the songs from the revised set, I’ll listen to everything!!!! Changes and additions include new set, new songs, improved dancing, new and redesigned costumes, new characters, Smooth Criminal with The Lean, Billie Jean with dance solo, Thriller in full costume and choreography, All of MJs dance with icons who inspired them, All 4 Michaels playing instruments live (guitar, piano, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, all other instruments that MJ used/held/played, and instruments that MJ never used/held/played); that group will also play as a band/orchestra; MITM ending sung by one of MJ incarnations, new scenes, new dialogue, Christmas finale during the holiday season, new finale, new running time is at least three hours with a ten-minute intermission!!!! The revamped MJ the Musical will have a world tour, with each incarnation of MJ will be portrayed by an actor from every single country (US (New York City/US Tour), UK (London), Germany (Hamburg), Australia (Sydney))!!! All "MJ" actors at different stages of his life from every production will come together for the reimagined international tour!!!! That tour will be multilingual in dialogue and songs!!! That will be impressive!!! The original "Middle Michael" will have two separate characters at the same time: a younger Teenage Michael and an older Young Adult Michael. After the world tour, every single production of MJ will adapt the reimagined and brand new form and all subsequent productions will have reimagined forms!!!! In addition, every subsequent production beginning with the world tour will get a cast soundtrack with all the songs and dialogue included and no material will be omitted!!! It will use the same orchestration from the original version, but adding a third reed player (Flute/Clarinet/Alto Sax/Bari Sax or Flute/Bass Clarinet/Alto Sax/Bari Sax or Flute/Clarinet/Tenor Sax) and a string section!!!! The revamped Broadway and/or U.S touring productions will include actors, who originally hail from cities, playing characters: "Little Michael" from Los Angeles, "Teenage Michael" from Cleveland, "Young Adult Michael" from Minneapolis, "MJ" from Las Vegas etc Leads' Playing Age Ranges: Little Michael: 9-12 Teenage Michael: 18-25 Young Adult Michael: 18-30 MJ: 26-35 Little Michael: Child, Early Teen; Teenage Michael: Early Teen, Late Teen; Young Adult Michael: Late Teen, Young Adult; MJ: Young Adult, Adult Showtime! 🎭 Can't wait!
I watched it in London and the scenes I did not like Is they made mj look like was danceing in hell to thriller and made joe to be the devil bring possed to mj that was so wrong that scene

An excellent and well deserved 5* review. Thanks Richard.

Greatest show in theatre history, and MJ was completely innocent. Karens just have to deal with it and stop crying
100% agree
