MJ – The Musical at Academy of Music

You're going to have a chance to step into a story that is as amazing as it is gut-wrenching. Peek beneath the mask and the one glove of the King of Pop and expose a version of Michael Jackson that the fans regretfully never got to see while he was still with us. Now, MJ - The Musical is bringing part of MJ's story to the theater. In a way, that's neither apologetic nor too vulgar, as some of the other media on MJ's life have been. Instead, it brings scenes that could help people see what may have led to the mega star's tragic ending. Of course, what you'll also have a chance to hear at the Academy Of Music on Thursday 9th January 2025 are a few renditions that do the original music by The King of Pop a ton of justice.

It's an emotional roller coaster of a stage show that features some of the top tracks in the history of music. These are performed live by an all-star cast that could feature a few names in the title role for the showcase on this Thursday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Myles Frost, debuted as MJ in NYC in what was also the show's first time in the Mecca of theater. He moved on with MJ - The Musical to the West End in London, inheriting the role stateside to Elijah Rhea Johnson, who remains with the show in NYC and the North American Tour. That doesn't mean there can't be a surprise MJ at the Academy Of Music. Regardless, all of the performers who have been tasked with giving life on stage to Michael Jackson have done a wonderful job.

Trying to keep spoilers out of the conversation here, but you can prepare to listen to versions of Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal, among a few other top MJ tracks.
