The critics of Broadway have given mixed reviews regarding this musical. Most of the critics are of the opinion that this broadway musical will sidestep all the molestation stories and accusations which were successfully dodged by Michael Jackson in his life.
Despite that, almost all of the critics agreed that the songs and the dances are top-notch, especially the lead guy, Myles Frost. Everyone has been all praises about his performance.
The Broadway musical was approved by the Michael Jackson estate. This broadway will be a perfect way of reminiscing the old memories of the life and career of the greatest pop star ever lived on the face of the earth. The choreography in the Broadway show is done by Christopher Wheeldon, while the direction and playwright is done by Lynn Nottage.
Broadway has taken the same technique as the MTV film crew had when they captured the tour preparation of Michael Jackson’s famous “Dangerous” tour back in 1992.
