Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ the Musical is now playing at Sydney Lyric Theatre.
Great stage production. Cast, set, , band , choreography. Brilliant
Brilliant! Music, singing, dancing, set, lighting all absolutely fantastic. Have been twice (unusual for me) and considering a third go.
This has to be one of the most thrilling and electrifying performances I have seen. The dancing and singing was amazing and the set, lighting and sound was out of this world! I would recommend this show to anyone who appreciates pop music in general and of course MJ himself!! ❤️
Mesmerising, invigorating, wanted more! This was next level!
We went to see the MJ show last night, it is the best theatre show we have seen.Well done to the cast and crew.
The story, the dancing and all the songs that you know so well. It’s a moving and emotional experience. I want to see it again! Once is not enough.
MJ the musical is the best musical I have ever seen. The lead character MJ singing and dancing moves, especially the moon walk was simply outstanding. All the other characters and dancers were also superb and let's not forget the band who were so incredibly talented. I would thoroughly recommend this musical to anyone.
Roman Banks is a revelation. The first time I saw him he was so mesmerizing as MJ I felt like I needed to see it again so I could watch the amazing ensemble more! Enjoyed it even more the second time. Fantastic story telling brought to life by a very talented cast, brilliant lighting and clever props. Roman appears to have captured the very essence of Michael and the moments when he's on stage watching the trials his younger self is going through brings such poignancy to the show. Despite some darker moments, the joy and energy radiates from the whole cast and you leave the theatre on a high. Special shout out to the imaginative creators of the stage lighting and costumes during the "Thriller"number, an absolute highlight.
I enjoy live shows and have seen quite a few in my 70 years, however, I have never asked to see a show a second time because it was just so fabulous. I have now seen the show twice, and would not count out going yet again! Every member of the cast is outstanding. The young fellows that are Michael are amazing! The music, the cast, the entire production, show a beautiful side of Michael..giving, caring, tormented, talented, perfectionist. There are just not enough words! Thoroughly enjoyed.
Great simple process from purchase to attendance including the 7 hrs travel each way. Amazing cast complimented by a state of the art venue. Highly recommend making the time & effort to see this amazing show.
This is one very super slick production. If you closed your eyes, you would swear MJ was on stage. His appearance, the mannerisms, the voice and the dance moves were spot on. The costumes were wonderful and so well suited to the various songs which contributed to the overall enjoyment of the production. The intensity from all the dancers was next level. Their athleticism is inspirational. You do expect that in any of MJ's shows and this production does not disappoint for one minute. We would thoroughly recommend without reservation booking seats for this production.
A brilliantly put together show! The acting and energy was incredible. The sets and lighting were fantastic. The show received a standing ovation. Everyone was on their feet applauding! I have never seen a show so well received. The lead actors were strong in their characters. The story took you behind the scenes and gave us an insight to MJ’s life. His stress and his victories. I loved it!
Outstanding show all cast fabulous Great storyline Well worth seeing
The performers were top rate The moves next level We loved it all and were sad when it was over
We loved this show so much that we plan on going again. The performers are so dynamic and are all excellent at singing, dancing and acting. The staging and costumes were excellent and the story cleverly wove each stage of Michael Jackson's life, career and performances into the story line. It was even better than I could have imagined
Absolutely brilliant. Hi tempo fantastic song repertoire and an event not to be missed should you get the chance.
There will only be 1 Michael Jackson. Although the characters chosen to play teenage Michael Jackson and adult MJ were pretty darn sublime. The entire cast were vivacious and not a weak link amongst them. Such an upbeat musical. We loved the choreography and of course, MJ's music - timeless. A spectacular tribute to a unique talent. MJ's music spans generations and this was obvious by the range of ages from the audience members who attended. Kudos and accolades to the cast! Outstanding in every way! We are going to watch this show again. Awesome, simply awesome!
I felt I was watching MJ himself.. Very well portrayed.. A must see highly recommend
MJ the Musical was just AMAZING! Even better than I expected - the super talented CAST, especially MJ, the sets, the lighting, the sound, the costumes!!! I was blown away! Huge applause for every iconic MJ song and standing ovation at the conclusion. The cast took 4 bows as the audience applause kept going! Every single person involved with this production should be immensely PROUD! It did Michael Jackson’s story justice without prejudice! I recommend everyone to see it, even if not an MJ fan … it is a magnificent spectacle for a wonderful night out! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've already seen it twice and seeing it again three more times in total. Once is not enough! It is beyond brilliant and exceeded expectations! I was totally blown away by the entire production itself - the lighting, props, setting, costumes, choreography, storyline and of course the music itself. As a diehard fan for almost 45 years (as well as a tribute performer), I absolutely loved every minute of it with all the songs included and performed in such a way that's totally mindblowing, and was taken on a journey that's just out of this world! I thoroughly enjoyed it, extremely magnificent! Do yourself a favour, go and see it, you will not be disappointed and you don't have to be a massive fan to experience something so spectacular. Go and see it! I cannot wait to see it again to witness such an incredible production that will keep you dancing even after it's finished.
