MJ the musical is definitely best musical I've ever seen. I'm from Japan, so I worried whether I could enjoy this English musical. But, I didn't need such anxiety. When I watched their first performance, their passion made me cry. Dance, song, light, props, direction... Everything was amazing, and I can enjoy all the time. Their English was so clear, so I could understand easily. Soon after the show I took one more ticket on my way. Everyone should watch this fascinating musical! I appreciate this musical for giving me fantastic experience.

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.
