Smash hit musical of Broadway season, MJ, coming to Chicago

The music. The moves. The icon. Now, the unparalleled artistry of the greatest entertainer of all time comes to Chicago as MJ, the multi–Tony Award®-winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own. Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status.

Lia Vollack, John Branca, John McClain and Broadway In Chicago announces that individual tickets for MJ, the smash-hit musical of the Broadway season, will go on sale, Monday, April 17. Ticket prices range from $52.50 - $132.50 with a select number of premium tickets available. MJ will launch its North American tour at Broadway In Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre (24 W. Randolph) from August 1 – September 2. 

(MJ is produced on Broadway and tour by Lia Vollack, John Branca and John McClain. For more information worldwide, visit: www.mjthemusical.com)
