Lynn Nottage is the playwright, and told ABC7's Hosea Sanders about bringing Michael Jackson's story alive on the Chicago stage. Nottage is a double Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. She has often collaborated with Chicago theaters, and "MJ the Musical" is a departure in her body of work. "I'm someone who loves challenges, and I always believe there's really no success unless you take risks, and the risk was making a musical about the greatest musical artist of the 20th Century; how do you do that?" Nottage said.
"In some ways, because he has been such a complicated, fraught artist, I really wanted to understand: Who was the man who made the music? I was really interested in how an artist creates. I really invest in taking the character through a journey moment by moment, and discovering who they are, through the writing," Nottage said.
