MJ The Musical which was supposed to open last July, originally postponed and cancelled from Chicago and now with the pandemic, the show was few times delayed until March 8, 2021. Today, the Broadway league announced further delay until May 30, 2021 which can again be reviewed depending on COVID-19.
Meaning the show will not open on March 8 as shown on the website.
This is a huge stress for the nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city.
Depending on the level of the pandemic, this may change again. Ticket sales were already poor due to a low interest from the general public and the anger of many MJ fans against Lynn Nottage’s comments in a couple of reputed press outlets confirming she believes the men in the fake documentary “Leaving Neverland”.

We will update you as soon as we have more information.
UPDATE: The MJ Musical confirmed it will now open in September 2021:
On the other side of the country, in Las Vegas, same story with no definitive dates of re-opening MJ ONE. The musical master piece from Cirque du Soleil keeps postponing its re-opening which is now set for November/December but again, due to COVID-19, it is unclear if this will really be the date for fans to refill the theatre of Mandalay Bay Resort!
Postponement news was so frequent again and again I think it shouldn’t be. There were already problems in its infrastructure
