The Calgary Herald recently reviewed the North American tour production of MJ the Musical and remarked that Jordan Markus as MJ “has the body elasticity for which Jackson was so famous, and he has those moments where he seems to float rather than walk.

It’s this minute attention to detail that takes the performance from mere concert to exacting tribute.” Hit the link in stories to find MJ the Musical in a city near you with performances announced through May 2026. #MJtheMusicalTour

The success of ‘Thriller’ transformed many of my dreams into reality”. Released this week in 1982, the album is still charting and selling today.
