Producers of MJ the Musical have announced that Myles Frost, who originated the role of Michael Jackson in New York and for which he won the Tony Award® for Best Actor in a Musical, will bring his star-making performance to London.

Frost joins the internationally renowned creative team helmed by two-time Pulitzer Prize® winning writer Lynn Nottage and two-time Tony Award® winning director/choreographer and Royal Ballet Associate Artist Christopher Wheeldon, as MJ prepares to begin performances in the UK at the Prince Edward Theatre from 6 March 2024.

Myles Frost said: “Working with Chris has always been amazing. He is a visionary and knowing that we’re now going into his stomping ground, I’m ready for that ride! I’m super excited to bring this show to the West End and to make this a magical experience for everybody”.

He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to the West End stage direct from Broadway in the multiple Tony Award®-winning new musical MJ.

Centred around the making of his 1992 Dangerous World Tour, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star to offer a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Jackson to legendary status.

MJ delivers a theatrical experience like no other, electrifying audiences with dozens of the most iconic songs in music history, including ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Beat It’, ‘Man in the Mirror’, ‘Thriller’ and ‘Smooth Criminal’.

Further casting for the London production of MJ is to be confirmed.

Tickets go on sale this Wednesday (24 May).
