The show was amazing. All of the Michaels were fantastic. Great singing, great story.
The contents and story were great; all the performers were fantastic. The choreography amazing along with their costumes. "best light show"I have ever seen in a musical. Well done everyone who was involved in this production !!
I can’t even find the words or adjectives to describe what an amazing evening show and production MJ life was! The cast the crew, the light show the Orchestra everything was top-notch
I really enjoyed the show and loved the décor. Southam Hall at the NAC is a fantastic venue. The performers delivered great energy, and the choreography was visually impressive. However, the show felt a bit short on capturing some of MJ’s biggest hits. It was also a bit difficult to understand the performer playing MJ, as their speech wasn’t very clear. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience!
It’s an excellent, great musicians, great dancers, great singers, good storyline, great music
I have no idea how Ottawa was able to grab this show but it was the best Broadway show I have ever seen and I have seen shows in London England, New York, Vegas and Toronto. The music, dance moves, scenic design were all top notch. Storyline stayed in the lines and celebrate what made the king of pop so special.
MJ Touring was the best Broadway show I have seen by far. I felt like I got to see him live and the cast was amazing! Worth it to see and want to go again!
I was dancing and singing. Beautiful people. The plot was tasteful and eloquent! Michael in three generations! Crazy. JUST CRAZY! I was star struck.
RBLT has never disappoint every show they bring to Rochester is up and above expectations. We have the best and I have seen a lot. Good job RBLT, good job. Keep up the good work
I think by far, this is the best musical I've ever seen. The actors were so multi talented with some playing more than one part and all of them with incredible voices and dances that were spot on in choreographing. The precision was impeccable down to perfection!! The lead especially was on stage almost the entire night and I found him amazing with the lines, lyrics, and dance routines he had to memorize. The musical score was phenomenal and musicians were the top of their profession. You definitely do not want to dare miss this one. I missed the Broadway show in NYC but was lucky to catch the touring show in upstate NY. Special effects were great as well. I really can't say enough good things about it!!
