It's a fabulous show; everyone acts perfectly and sings beautifully too. I liked that before the show started, we could see them setting up the stage. However, I didn't realize until the end that there were headsets for translation—it's a shame that wasn't mentioned beforehand.

Excellent show, professionally staged and the cast is marvelous! I went with my son who is of Cuban heritage but is not familiar with the music, and he loved it!

All the theater staff were kind and guided us very attentively, and the audience was also orderly and respectful. Although I already knew what to expect, the perfect harmony of the production, the actors, and the musical numbers made the running time fly by in an instant. I plan to see it several more times in my life, and I’m especially looking forward to watching the Korean version soon.

I had the chance to see the musical & Juliet in New York, and honestly, it was an incredible experience that I 100% recommend.
I was seated in the second row, so really close to the stage. At first, it might seem a bit too close, since you don’t always get a full view of the set. But in reality, it adds something special: you can see the actors’ faces, emotions, and expressions so clearly. It makes the whole experience even more immersive and magical.
The show itself is just perfect. There isn’t a single moment where you feel bored. The songs are catchy, many of them familiar, and they stay in your head. The energy is constant from beginning to end, and you get completely drawn into the story.
The dancers are also incredibly impressive. The choreography is dynamic, precise, and flawlessly executed. You can really tell that the performers are highly selected and talented—it truly shows on stage.
The finale is absolutely beautiful, and it perfectly matches the quality of the entire show. It’s a powerful moment that leaves you with strong emotions as you leave the theater.
There’s also the option to buy merchandise at the venue, which is great if you want to keep a memory of the experience.
And even though I’m not fully bilingual in English, I was still able to understand the main storyline. The acting, expressions, staging, and songs really help you follow along.
In short: a dynamic, emotional, funny, and visually stunning show. A must-see if you’re in New York.

The actors' performances (singing and dancing) are fantastic. The orchestra is visible all around the stage and plays beautifully. The acoustics in this theater are excellent. A wonderful evening on Broadway ✨.

📌 A brilliant display
The ‘ravishing spectacle’ (The Standard) is created by a rocking creative team including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and Tony Award-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.

The Tony Award-winning choreography has been created in collaboration with MJ’s former backup dancers, Rich and Tone Talauega. But the multi-media experience goes beyond a jukebox musical peppered with the pop icon’s discography to create an intimate portrait that reveals both his extraordinary talents and deeply human vulnerabilities.
Fun fact: Audience members can see choreography and performance notes written in MJ’s handwriting before each act when they are projecting on the curtains.
