Everything was well organized, we got in real fast in spite of the queue, the theater was very nice, the stage was well-seen from anywhere, buffet and bathroom was easily accessible, only the airconditioning was too much, it was a little cold inside. And the most outstanding was the play itself with perfect directing, astonishing show elements, and of course the wonderfull highly talented actors, who also were very friendly to take selfies after the show. It will be an everlasting memory for us.

A wonderful show. Musically, of course, it's based on the brilliant music of Michael Jackson. The musical, vocal, and dance preparation of the entire cast was wonderful, and Michael Jackson himself was like he was alive. Three highly talented actors play MJ at different ages. If you are going to a Broadway show, you must see this musical.
