Casting[edit]

Per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSICALS, casting boards should only be updated when the production in question officially begins performances. Things can change between now and then. It could be cancelled, or recast. Only when the show begins performances is when the casting should be set on the cast boards. Until then, casting should be placed in the productions section.

US tour[edit]

It doesn't need to be anything like as large - it's a large chunk of the article! There is zero need for every single date in every single theatre to be mentioned. Something the length of the UK production opening will be fine. If anyone wants to know when and where it is on, the links are there for them to find out.

Removal of celebrity worship[edit]

Just to explain that Wikipedia is not the place to list all the people who have been given tickets to see a show. That's why this section will always be removed. 88.111.215.174 (talk) 19:20, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wishlist[edit]

I’ll see it when the musical revamps during the promotion of the biopic and the outcome of victory of MJ’s estate in February trial against Robson and Safechuck!!!! A trio of Michael Jacksons will become a quartet by splitting the role of "Michael"/aka Middle Michael into two separate versions (teen in mid-late 1970s and young adult in early-mid 1980s)!!!! Little Michael represents the J5 era, Teenage Michael represents late-Motown/Jacksons eras, Young Adult Michael represents Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad eras, MJ represents the Dangerous and later eras. That’ll be amazing!!! That group will all have lead roles, while Rob/Joe Jackson relegates into a supporting role. All four Michaels (Little Michael: Michael Jackson at age 10, Teenage Michael: Michael Jackson in his teenage years, Young Adult Michael: Michael Jackson in his twenties, and MJ: Michael Jackson in his thirties) will sing solos, duets, trios, and quartets!!! They will be increasing their vocal range from the original Broadway version (Little Michael’s lowest is G3; while all the other three Michaels’ (Teenage Michael, Young Adult Michael, and MJ) lowest note each is G2 and highest for all four of them is C6!!!) ❤❤❤ I also hope when it releases a cast album which includes all the songs from the revised set, I’ll listen to everything!!!! Changes and additions include new set, new songs, new and redesigned costumes, new characters, Smooth Criminal with The Lean, Billie Jean with dance solo, Thriller in full costume and choreography, All of MJs dance with icons who inspired them, All 4 Michaels playing instruments live (guitar, piano, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, all other instruments that MJ used/held/played, and instruments that MJ never used/held/played); that group will also play as a band/orchestra; MITM ending sung by one of MJ incarnations, new scenes, new dialogue, Christmas finale during the holiday season, new finale, new running time is at least three hours with a ten-minute intermission!!!! The revamped MJ the Musical will have a world tour, with each incarnation of MJ will be portrayed by an actor from every single country (US (New York City/US Tour), UK (London), Germany (Hamburg), Australia (Sydney))!!! All "MJ" actors at different stages of his life from every production will come together for the reimagined international tour!!!! That tour will be multilingual in dialogue and songs!!! That will be impressive!!! Every production after the reimagined world tour will have a cast album. The original "Middle Michael" will have two separate characters at the same time: a younger Teenage Michael and an older Young Adult Michael. After the world tour, every single production of MJ will adapt the reimagined and brand new form and all future productions will have reimagined forms!!!! The revamped Broadway and/or U.S. touring productions will include black actors from brand new cities playing Michael Jackson characters: Little Michael (Honolulu); Teenage Michael (Cleveland); Young Adult Michael (Minneapolis); MJ (Las Vegas) etc Leads' Playing Age Ranges: Little Michael: 8-13 Teenage Michael: 18-25 Young Adult Michael: 18-25 MJ: 25+ Little Michael: Child, Early Teen; Teenage Michael: Early Teen, Late Teen; Young Adult Michael: Late Teen, Young Adult; MJ: Young Adult, Adult Showtime! 🎭 Can't wait!
