It's one of those stories that have always had a way of keeping people's attention. That's probably what you're going to see if you head to Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday 1st April 2026. Of course, it keeps the audience's attention when you're seeing one of the best soundtracks of any musical ever made! The King of Pop was able to put together some of the most well received albums of a generation. These songs are sung masterfully by the lead with a voice that's worthy of the original. At the same time, you'll be treated to some of the best dances that Broadway has seen in years!
These tracks aren't just displayed to help mesh the story. They also provide some release to the tension of the play. This generates an experience that is not like any other you've witnessed inside any venue. One moment, you're glued to the stage. Then, out of the blue, they burst into song! This combination works perfectly for a story about Michael Jackson. While the premise of the story follows Michael in the year 1992, we get all sorts of flashbacks, particularly to his time in The Jackson 5.
MJ - The Musical truly provides an unbiased recollection or even fictional account of what those events in the life of Michael Jackson were actually like. One of the things it does a wonderful job at is not passing judgment. That's certainly tough to accomplish, knowing some of the things that allegedly took place.
Knowing how to find the perfect spot inside Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday 1st April 2026 is essential to the entire experience. In this situation, some of the traditional theater tips will apply. You'll want to choose a spot that's a few rows back from the stage. Trying to find a spot in the middle of the venue is also a decent idea. This can offer better command of not only the stage but the entire play. Now that you know that, select the get tickets link, seats are starting at $90!
