NEW YORK — The new, splashy Broadway musical about Michael Jackson is going to moonwalk across America next year.
"We are thrilled by the Broadway response to 'MJ,' and that we are already deep in preparations to bring this exhilarating show to Chicago and across the United States," said producer Lia Vollack in a statement."Chicago is a premier theater and music destination, and we are excited to be able to begin this journey in one of the Nederlander Organization's most beautiful venues.
The musical has most of Jackson's and the Jackson 5's big hits, including"ABC,""Black or White,""Blame it on the Boogie,""Bad,""Billie Jean,""Off the Wall,""Thriller" and"I'll Be There." Broadway critics were divided over the musical, with many frustrated that it sidestepped accusations of molestation, which later dogged Jackson. But virtually all agreed that the songs and dancing were top-notch, as was the leading man, Myles Frost.
