“MJ THE MUSICAL” – Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall – Sarasota

Activity Level: 2

Enjoy an Explosion of Music and Theatricality as Unforgettable as the Artist Himself.  ‘MJ’ follows Michael Jackson from his childhood to his 1992 Dangerous tour. As we watch Jackson and his team fine-tune the Dangerous show, those moments in time are woven into the story as flashbacks, as different songs trigger Jackson, pulling him back in time to remember either a happy or painful moment in his life.  Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the iconic moves and music to explore his creative process. After acclaimed runs on Broadway, across North America, London’s West End, and Hamburg. MJ makes its Sarasota debut at the Van Wezel.

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. Featuring Over 25 of Michael Jackson’s Biggest Hits. MJ is a 4-time Tony Award-winning show that celebrates the life and music of Michael Jackson.
