About
Michael Jackson's Dangerous tour rehearsals frame a hit-packed dance musical at the Neil Simon, with Christopher Wheeldon's Tony-winning choreography.
MJ builds a Broadway show around the dance vocabulary that made Michael Jackson iconic, from the moonwalk to the Smooth Criminal lean, set during rehearsals for the Dangerous tour. Christopher Wheeldon's choreography and a catalog of more than two dozen hits make it the most dance-forward jukebox musical on Broadway. If you want a night of Thriller, Billie Jean and Beat It performed live, this is it.
