Get ready to moonwalk your way to the Prince Edward Theatre, as MJ the Musical announces its highly anticipated West End debut!

Get ready to experience the electrifying energy of the King of Pop like never before, as MJ the Musical arrives on London’s West End in 2024! This Tony Award-winning show has taken Broadway by storm and is now set to dazzle audiences in the UK, bringing to life the legendary career of Michael Jackson and his iconic 1992 Dangerous World Tour.

With a creative team of industry heavyweights, including playwright Lynn Nottage, director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, and a star-studded cast yet to be announced, this show promises to be an unforgettable celebration of one of the greatest music icons of all time.

The production features a mind-blowing selection of Jackson’s greatest hits, including ‘Thriller,’ ‘Billie Jean,’ and ‘Beat It,’ as well as some lesser-known tracks, all set to stunning choreography and visuals that will transport you straight to the heart of the music.

The Prince Edward Theatre will host the show’s West End debut starting from March 6, 2024, with tickets going on sale to the general public from May 24, 2023. Ain’t Too Proud may be occupying the venue currently, but once MJ the Musical takes over, it promises to be a must-see for anyone who loves great music, dance, and spectacle.

Get ready to be transported to the era of the King of Pop and to witness his legacy come alive before your very eyes. MJ the Musical is set to be one of the biggest events of the year.
