I feel very blessed to share this magnificent show with my 15y grandson who like his father and grandparents have all shared MJ life and his music. We travel from Mackay to see the show. The QPAC was mind blowing, what a magical atmosphere. As for show, the work that went into it I can't imagine how many hours of hard work. Stage effects, lighting we were mesmerized. Our overall experince is one I know my grandson will never forget. Thank you 🌺

The moment the performance started, tears burst out, and I couldn't stop the tears until the end. I didn't know if those tears were a welcome or a regret for his absence, but it was an endless emotion. I was so lucky to travel here in Brisbane and meet MJ the musical. Thank you so much. It was the best musical.

What a great production, great vocals, acting, dancing and stage sets!! However, it did leave me wanting a bit more, the pyrotechnics, volume and use of the house band could have been turned up a couple of notches, but I thoroughly enjoyed the matinee performance.

Magnificent but I thought I was booking through qtix website couldn't log in to print my ticket so had to go earlier to pick up ticket through reception desk it was then explained to me that head out is another booking platform. Performance was excellent standing ovation and couldn't believe it was a sellout. I booked the night before only 3 seats left.
