“I’m super excited to bring this show to the West End and to make this a magical experience for everybody,” Myles Frost said in a statement.

MJ centres on the turbulent story behind the making of Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour, and it revisits highlights from throughout Jackson’s singular career. The show features all his greatest hit songs, including “Thriller,” “Man in the Mirror,” “Beat It,” and “Billie Jean.”

An internationally renowned creative team will join Frost, including two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Lynn Nottage and two-time Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. The scenic design by Derek McLane lighting design by Natasha Katz, costume design by Paul Tazewell, sound design by Gareth Owen, projection design by Peter Nigrini, and hair and wig design by Charles LaPointe. Musical supervision is by David Holcenberg, and the orchestrations and arrangements are by David Holcenberg and Jason Michael Webb.

Further casting for the London production of MJ is yet to be confirmed. The Tony Award-winning musical will begin performances on 7 March 2024 at London’s Prince Edward Theatre.
