MJ the Musical

Ever wanted to explain to your kids why you spent the entirety of 1988 trying to perfect the moonwalk in the hallway? Here’s your chance. MJ the Musical isn’t just a tribute, it’s a high-octane, multi-Tony Award-winning juggernaut that dives deep into the creative genius of the King of Pop, and it’s playing now at the Lyric Theatre Brisbane.

Featuring over 25 of Michael Jackson’s biggest hits, the choreography is so sharp it could cut through a Chiko Roll. It’s a spectacular way to introduce the next generation to the Thriller era while you secretly relive your glory days from the A-reserve seats. A standout on the Brisbane musicals calendar right now.

The production values are through the roof, lighting and sound that make the Lyric Theatre feel like a full stadium world tour. As far as live theatre Brisbane experiences go, this one sets the bar. It’s a bit of a splurge, but for a performance of this calibre, it’s worth every cent.

So try to keep your own dancing confined to your seat so you don’t embarrass the teenagers too much. MJ the Musical is a Man in the Mirror moment you genuinely won’t want to miss, one of the best live entertainment Brisbane shows this season.
