Pittsburgh’s TribLive applauds the US National tour of MJ the Musical: "[it] is truly a technical marvel. It’s hard to see how such an enormous undertaking has made it through a tour, with so many numbers that feel like their own music videos. The make-it-bigger staging almost mirrors the musical’s lead and [Michael’s] determination to make the ‘Dangerous World Tour’ more massive and cutting-edge than anything audiences have seen before." Next stop on the tour is Ottawa, followed by Philadelphia, Providence, Richmond, Norfolk and more.

Elijah Johnson who performs as MJ in MJ the Musical on Broadway says that he’s learned so much from choreographers Rich and Tone Talauega who started their careers as dancers for Michael. "I’ve been dancing for a long time, so I think I know how to do the Michael moves. And so much of the feedback has been from the [Talauega] brothers: "that’s pretty good, but you’re doing this wrong,’ or they’ll say, ‘It’s this foot, not that foot.’ But they gave me the space to nail down the moves."
