He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to Milwaukee in MJ, the multiple Tony Award®-winning musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. It’s thrilling sold out crowds on Broadway, in cities across North America, and in London’s West End…and now MJ is startin’ somethin’ in Milwaukee as it makes its Wisconsin premiere at the Marcus Performing Arts Center in May 2025.
