Producers Lia Vollack, John Branca and John McClain have announced that MJ, the Tony Award-winning smash hit musical, will celebrate Halloween on Broadway, on Tour, and in London after the evening performances on Thursday, October 31 with a special performance of the beloved and iconic choreography in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” short film.

Detroit audiences will have the opportunity to see this special performance in person as the MJ North American Tour is currently making its Fisher Theatre premiere through November 3. Tickets are still available for all performances, including October 31, and can be purchased online at BroadwayInDetroit.com or in person at the Fisher Theatre box office

While the legendary number is performed in the musical every night, -- as envisioned by Tony Award-winner choreographer and director Christopher Wheeldon – now, in an annual Halloween tradition, audiences will get to witness a celebratory rendition of the iconic music video choreography, featuring one-night-only costumes, lighting, and projections. For the first time ever, this special event will be performed at all MJ productions currently around the globe.

Audience members are encouraged to wear costumes to the performance. Patrons who arrive within the first 45 minutes of doors opening will receive a free snack with any $25 purchase at the bar. For more information on Fisher 45, click HERE.
