This isn’t a straightforward life story of Michael Jackson. Instead, the show’s creators, including the two-time Pulitzer-winning playwright Lynn Nottage, have focused on a very specific point in his career: the rehearsals for his 1992 ‘Dangerous’ world tour. It’s a clever framing device that allows for a string of his biggest songs, performed one after the other. The story is told through flashbacks, touching on his childhood and the pressures of fame. The main focus, however, is the music and the movement. The choreography, by Christopher Wheeldon, is sharp and energetic, and the staging of songs like ‘Thriller’ is particularly inventive. It’s a slick, fast-paced production that captures the polish of jego performances. The show is at the Prince Edward Theatre in Soho, a grand 1930s building on Old Compton Street. It’s right in the thick of things, so you’ll be well-placed for a drink or a late dinner after the curtain falls.
