GBIf you're looking for a light uplifting musical, don't see this play. My wife and I decided to see a serious drama this time around, and this play certainly didn't disappoint. All three actors were superb. The script had an excellent mix of emotional dialogue and sardonic humor. We are in our 70s so we saw the issues from the mother's point of view and in light ot the era of the play. Although we didn't agree with the mother's viewpoint, it was pretty typical of parents of that era. I've seen some reviewers who were disappointed in the ending, but we both thought it was perfect. Essentially, three lives being seriously damaged by the bitter experiences of the mother. We both came away thanking our lucky stars that our family experience has been the total opposite of what was portrayed in the play. A serious, thought provoking, drama superbly acted.

GBAbove expectations, just Incredible!!! I went to see MJ the musical in the Neil Simon theater. I grew up listening and looking up to Michael Jackson so I had high expectations. The acting crew, the theater props and set just went far past my expectations. The performances, the singing, the acting. You can feel the life story as if you were there with him. All of the actors are super talented and passionate about it. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!

GBGreat play and location near Times… Great play and location near Times Square. I felt some scenes were stiff or in one scene the female lead said she would send out a text to the male leads for help and this is never mentioned again. Afterwards I discovered it was due to some rewrites for sensitivity. I understand the need for these changes but it’s pretty apparent where these points are.

GBJessica Lange is absolutely incredible Jessica Lange is absolutely incredible. It is worth seeing for her performance alone, but the other two cast members hold their own too and the story is engaging. Lots of great one-liners, some laughs, though mostly serious subject matter. I highly recommend it.
