Dear Friends of Omaha Performing Arts,
Welcome to MJ!
You’re in for an unforgettable experience that celebrates the artistry of Michael Jackson!
For many of us, his songs are an important part of the soundtrack of our lives. His voice, music, and lyrics are memorable and impacted multiple generations. However, beyond those hit songs, I’m not sure I fully appreciated how much his iconic choreography and genre-defying moves changed the world of dance forever. He blended classic choreographers and dancers like Gene Kelly and Bob Fosse with his own electric energy and innovation and set a new standard for movement. You will see those moves brought to exciting life in this show.
Through behind-the-scenes rehearsals for the Dangerous tour, MJ gives an intimate look at the dedication, passion, and sheer artistry that went into crafting some of the most memorable performances in history. This show features hit after hit, and I guarantee you’ll leave the theater humming – and perhaps moonwalking.
MJ is a wonderful ending to our Broadway season – and a perfect transition to the extraordinary season ahead! Don’t forget to subscribe to our biggest lineup yet.
Have a great summer. We look forward to seeing you in the fall!
Enjoy the show!
Joan H. Squires President, Omaha Performing Arts
