A six-day, eight-show run of MJ brings Michael Jackson’s music to Queen Elizabeth Theatre from Tuesday to Sunday (Nov. 25-30).
The “King of Pop” musical is focused on the making of Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous world tour, giving show-goers a glimpse of his creativity and collaborations.
High-energy performances and snappy choreography are pretty much guaranteed, but don’t go expecting a deep dive into the controversies that plagued Jackson later in life.
More focused on music and than the man’s full story, the show is recommended for ages 8 and up. Run time is two hours, 30 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. Warning, MJ includes theatrical haze and fog as well as a significant amount of strobing effects.

High-energy performances are promised, just don’t go expecting a deep dive into controversies.

Up next, in January, is Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film come to life onstage. Another musical set in France, the classic Les Misérables returns to the QE Theatre in the last half of March, followed by the family fun of the ABBA-powered Mamma Mia! (late-May dates) and the game-inspired musical-mystery Clue (July/August 2026).
