Since beginning performances in December 2021, MJ has played to over two million patrons on Broadway and over five million theatregoers globally. The production has broken the box office record 11 times at the Neil Simon Theatre.
MJ, which began previews December 6, 2021, prior to an official opening February 1, 2022, features a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and a score made up of some of the most popular songs in recording history. Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon directs and choreographs.
The musical also has sets by Derek McLane, lighting by Natasha Katz, costumes by Paul Tazewell, sound design by Gareth Owen, projection design by Peter Nigrini, hair and wig design by Charles LaPointe, music direction by Jason Michael Webb, musical supervision by David Holcenberg, and orchestrations by Holcenberg and Webb. Casting is by Rachel Hoffman and Lindsay Levine of The Telsey Office.
The show took home four 2022 Tony Awards, including Best Choreography, Best Lighting Design in a Musical, Best Sound Design in a Musical, and for original star Myles Frost, who made history as the youngest individual actor to win a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical.
