It seems like everyone already has an opinion about Jeremy O Harris’s *[Slave Play](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/40715-slave-play)*.

__‘A RAVISHING SPECTACLE’ (Evening Standard)__

__‘EXHILARATING AND DAZZLING’ (WhatsOnStage)__

Get ready to moonwalk your way to the Prince Edward Theatre for *MJ the Musical*! *MJ the Musical* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

This smash hit musical based on the thrilling story of legendary pop star Michael Jackson comes straight from Broadway, featuring Myles Frost in his West End debut. Frost made his Broadway debut and won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for transforming into the late King of Pop, making him the youngest solo recipient of the award in history.

*MJ the Musical* centres around rehearsals for Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour. When an MTV camera crew arrives to interview Jackson for a documentary, the singer gradually opens up about his turbulent backstory and career. His memories come to life with some of his most famous songs, including “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Thriller,” and “Smooth Criminal,” and a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage.

This production provides a unique look into the unseen elements — including his family relationships, phenomenal talent, and creative imagination — that inspired Jackson’s singular approach to music. As on Broadway, Christopher Wheeldon OBE directs and choreographs *MJ* in London. He won a Tony Award for his choreography, which he co-created with Rich and Tone Talauega, two of Jackson’s former backup dancers and collaborators. They helped Wheeldon to ensure the choreography in the show replicated the pop star’s signature style.

Elizabeth Taylor named Michael Jackson The King of Pop at the 1989 Soul Train Awards, and it is fair to say that he is an artist like no other. With over 350 million records sold worldwide, Jackson has earned himself spots in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame. He is also the only music artist in the Dance Hall of Fame. 

*MJ the Musical* tickets are available on London Theatre now. Book tickets for *MJ the Musical* in the West End today.

MJ The Musical - LON - London Theatre

Step into the world of the "King of Pop" with MJ The Musical. Featuring over 25 of Michael Jackson's greatest hits, this electrifying show takes you on a journey through his legendary career. From "Thriller" to "Billie Jean," experience the music, the moves, and the magic that made Michael Jackson an icon. Don't miss the ultimate celebration of his extraordinary legacy.

With 3.1 million attendees worldwide over 69 concert dates, the late King of Pop’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour was a record-breaking, award-winning, global phenomenon that grossed over $100 million. Thirty years after the tour, *MJ* in the West End goes deeper into the signature sound of the star and explores the imagination and struggle it took to create his musical masterpieces. 

It is safe to say Michael Jackson earnt his title as the King of Pop. He has 15 Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and 39 Guinness World Records including Most Successful Entertainer of All Time. He is also in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Dance Hall of Fame. (He is the only music artist in this one!)

Outstanding scenic design by Derek McLane (*Moulin Rouge! The Musical*), dazzling lighting by Natasha Katz (*Once*), and expert musical supervision by David Holcenberg (*Matilda*) transform London’s Prince Edward Theatre and show audiences why “Love Never Felt So Good.” These are only some of the prestigious names in the creative team behind this hit Broadway sensation.

## What to watch for

- Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour was record-breaking. It was the biggest tour any performer had done in history, and the staging at every show took three days to set up! 
- The creative team behind this spectacular show are also well-versed in all types of awards. Collectively, they have been nominated for 23, including Emmys, Oliviers and the Pulitzer Prize.
- *MJ the Musical* uses the pop star’s iconic songs in inventive ways. For example, the musical explores Jackson’s rocky relationship with his father through the horror-infused “Thriller.”
- Christopher Wheeldon collaborated with two of Michael Jackson’s real dancers, Rich and Tone Talauega, to ensure the choreography in *MJ the Musical* was authentic to the pop icon. The brothers began as dancers on Jackson’s HIStory World Tour and continued to dance with him for years. 
- In the scenic design for the Broadway production, Jackson’s handwritten notes about his music and choreography are projected onto a screen when audiences enter the theatre.

Dear England 

The sold-out National Theatre production transfers to the West End this Autumn.

The Prince Edward Theatre opened in 1930, and was named after the then Prince of Wales, who went on to become Edward VIII. In 1978, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s new musical, *Evita*, made a star of its leading lady, Elaine Paige. Paige then starred in *Chess* and *Anything Goes*, both at the Prince Edward Theatre.

The building was completely refurbished in 1992. Bernard Delfont and Cameron Mackintosh now owned the theatre, and spent over £3 million on remodelling the auditorium, improving the acoustics and increasing the size of the stage. The new Prince Edward Theatre was unveiled in March 1993 with the opening of *Crazy for You*, a Gershwin musical transferring from Broadway.

Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Ltd. continue to renovate the theatre between productions, making the faceight-yearemplary and one of the most desirable spaces in the West End.

## Prince Edward Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels – the Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle. In the Stalls, patrons will find excellent legroom throughout, and a gentle rake throughout the auditorium allows for excellent views. 

The Dress Circle does not offer the same level of legroom, but again offers great views. The last five rows will have their view obstructed by the overhang of the, Grand Circle. 

The Dress Circle loges are a unique feature to this theatre — they take on the form of individual, tiered boxes but with a direct view of the stage rather than the side-on view usually associated with box seats. 

The Grand Circle offers excellent sightlines as the seats are fairly steeply raked.
