With a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize® winning writer Lynn Nottage, MJ is directed and choreographed by Royal Ballet Associate Artist Christopher Wheeldon OBE, who won the Tony Award® for Best Choreography of a Musical for MJ.
The internationally renowned creative team for MJ also includes set design by Tony Award® and two-time Emmy Award® winner Derek McLane, lighting by six-time Tony Award® winner Natasha Katz, costumes by Tony Award® and Emmy Award® winner Paul Tazewell, sound design by Tony Award® and Olivier Award winning Gareth Owen, projection design by two- time Tony Award® nominee Peter Nigrini, musical supervision by Tony Award® nominee David Holcenberg, and orchestrations and arrangements by David Holcenberg and Tony Award® winner Jason Michael Webb.
