Ahead of its highly anticipated Broadway premiere, the new Michael Jackson-scored musical, previously titled Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, has been re-titled MJ. The previously announced musical will make its world premiere on the Great White Way in the summer of 2020, with dates and a theater to be announced soon.
“We can confirm that the Michael Jackson musical has a new title,” production spokesperson Rick Miramontez said. “As the show has evolved through its development process, the production felt that MJ was a better and stronger choice than relying on the title of any one individual song.”
Unfortunately Lynn Nottage is still part of the project despite her saying publicly that a recent “movie” was “very believable”!
Don’t give up hope.There is still time for her to be be gone from this project.I live in NYC and cannot wait until I can buy my ticket -orchestra seat, not matter how expensive!!!!!!!!!!
“MJ The Musical” is fine by me – Nottage’s comments ARE a matter of concern, however. Although I’m sure the content of the show will pass muster with the Estate’s oversight, it does not ease my mind that someone employed in the writing of the show may have doubts about Michael’s innocence.
