What the popular press had to say.....
"It's cute, kicking and retro, but also highlights a danger that looms large in this show: that even as a tot, Jackson was supremely gifted performer - both as a singer and a dancer - and this tribute, however well intended, inevitably pales by comparison."
Sanjy Roy for The Guardian
"This is very much an ensemble company and the dance team here deserve a special mention...some of the set pieces, particularly the Billie Jean/Thriller/Bad set are, quite literally, thrilling."
Paul Vale for The Stage
"Thrilling, certainly, but empty, too."
Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard
"A glitzy concert of song and dance...a great night out, though the excessive running time means that it doesn't stop until you've had more than enough."
Charles Spencer for Daily Telegraph
"There's no fictional conceit stitching the songs together in Adrian Grant's “celebration” of Michael Jackson's music. Instead, a barrage of awards and sales statistics (flashed up in graphics on a screen) punctuate set pieces featuring a revolving cast of six singers."
Benedict Nightingale for The Times
"A hugely enjoyable, gloriously upbeart, high energy show."
Julie Carpenter for The Daily Express
"Immensely enjoyable compilation of the Michael Jackson catalogue...It's a shame that Gary Lloyd's production has no theatrical justification whatsoever, but the presentation is so enjoyably theatrical that the objection disintegrates."
Michael Coveney for The Independent
