“MJ has proven to be a global phenomenon,” said Michael Cassel, Producer and CEO of the Michael Cassel Group. “Audiences from New York to Sydney have been blown away by the artistry, energy, and humanity of this show. We now have the great privilege of bringing this production, as originally conceived by Christopher Wheeldon and his incredible creative team, to audiences throughout Asia.”
Producer Lia Vollack added: “We can’t wait to share this theatrical experience with even more fans as we take MJ on the road throughout Asia, and we are thrilled that this tour will allow us bring the music and legacy of Michael Jackson to audiences in their home regions.”
Directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon OBE, MJ is set in 1992 and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Jackson’s Dangerous World Tour. Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, the show explores the creative mind and personal journey of one of music’s most influential figures.
Featuring more than 25 of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits—including Beat It, Smooth Criminal, Man in the Mirror, and Thriller—MJ delivers a high-energy, emotionally rich theatrical experience.
The show was nominated for 10 Tony Awards and won four, including Best Choreography, and Best Actor in a Musical for original Broadway star Myles Frost. It also received three Olivier Award nominations, with Christopher Wheeldon winning for Best Theatre Choreography.
An all-new international company will bring MJ to life across Asia. Tour stops and casting announcements will be shared in the lead-up to the October 2026 launch.
