The curtain was raised at the Neil Simon Theatre tonight for the first preview of one of the most anticipated musicals in recent Broadway history: MJ. The cast, with 12 Broadway debuts, took their first bows in front of a sold-out audience of fans who have traveled from all over the United States (plus Europe, Canada, Mexico and Asia) to witness this first performance. The production will continue in previews and will have an official opening night on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.

Newcomer Myles Frost, of Washington, D.C., made his Broadway debut as Michael Jackson and received multiple standing ovations.
