MJ

05/20/2025 7:00 pm

He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to Northwest Arkansas as MJ, the multi–Tony Award®-winning new musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, begins a tour of its own.

Created by Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. MJ is startin’ somethin’ as it makes its Northwest Arkansas premiere at Walton Arts Center in May 2025.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
