“MJ the Musical” review: It’s a brilliant fusion of originality and reference, art and commerce, homage and the subtlest of challenges to the record. And it’s fabulous to watch, just like the King of Pop. ChrisJonesTrib has more.
. Banks offers a moving, vulnerable, emotionally centered performance that doesn’t so much try to dance every other MJ off the stage so much as try to get to the core of a man who never fully left his Gary boyhood. It’s a notably sophisticated piece of musical acting and it raises the stakes of what we are watching.
The show uses an intrusive MTV interview crew in the rehearsal room as its device to get out the MJ story . It portrays Michael as an artistic perfectionist who is a victim first of his own childhood and then of his own fame. It’s hard on the family patriarch Joe Jackson, who comes off as a cruel and abusive philanderer who pushed his kids to breaking point and caused lasting psychological damage.
