MJ – The Musical at San Diego Civic Theatre

Everyone knows the tracks that Michael Jackson made famous, but do they know how he became a global pop sensation? This Broadway bonanza about the King of Pop dives deeper into the fascinating life story of Michael Jackson, particularly at the start of his 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Based on the book by Lynn Nottage, this engaging musical production follows Michael Jackson as he's preparing to set off on his career-defining stadium tour, from which all of the ticket revenue would go toward different charities, including the performer's own Heal the World Foundation. 

MJ the Musical has been dazzling audiences since making its Broadway debut at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2021. At the 2022 Tony Awards, it snagged ten nominations and won four categories, including Best Choreography and Best Actor in a Musical. Although the Broadway show is still fairly new, it's become one of the most lucrative musicals in recent history, with ticket sales amounting to more than $200 million and counting.

Talented actors fill the show's biggest roles, including some of Jackson's famous siblings and producers of his greatest hits. The life story of Michael Jackson centers around the singer but features prominent influences like his brothers Tito, Jackie, and Marlon Jackson, his parents Katherine and Joe Jackson, plus Grammy Award-winning music moguls Berry Gordy and Quincy Jones.

Ticket holders will experience the one-of-a-kind essence of Michael Jackson, from his early days recording classic hits like "I Want You Back" and "ABC" to becoming one of the world's biggest artists in the 1980s. While this show has its fair share of fantastic musical numbers, it's also not without emotional moments from each of the top-billed actors gracing the stage.
