MJ: The Musical, created by Christopher Wheeldon and Lynn Nottage, is scheduled to run Dec. 20 through Jan. 28, 2024. In her THR review of the show last year, Lovia Gyarkye wrote that “MJ, like its subject, is captivating and hard to shake.” ...

Bane just had the honor of meeting Michael Jackson’s son, Prince Jackson (@PrinceJackson ), after the show tonight‼️ I asked him what did it feel like and he said he couldn’t believe it! He said he was a totally rad gnarly dude! He told Bane “you’re killing it out there bro!” WHAT‼️I am freaking out right now! Our son just met The King of Pop’s son! The son of the role he’s blessed to play on Broadway! Tonight was Bane’s 17th performance. #unbelievable #princejackson #mjthemusicalonbroadway

Broadway's MJ The Musical will welcome a new Michael Jackson.
Elijah Rhea Johnson will take over the show's lead role beginning April 4 at the Neil Simon Theatre, producers LiaVollack, John Branca and John McClain announced Monday.
Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Johnson returns to MJ after helping to develop the role of Middle Michael throughout the musical's workshop process.
Myles Frost, who won the 2022 Tony Award for his portrayal of the King of Pop,will depart the production on April 2 after a year-and-a-half in the role.
"Those of us who worked with Elijah during the developmental workshops knew, when his schedule didn't allow him to join the original Broadway cast, we hadn't seen the last of him or his remarkable talent," director Christopher Wheeldon said in a statement.
"Though we might have initially seen him as 'Middle Michael' it is so clear to me now that adult Michael is who he was born to play," Wheeldon added. "Myles is leaving behind some pretty big loafers to fill, and Elijah is more than ready to wear them."...

Best of luck to Elijah Johnson!
Ironically, I've seen the show twice, and Myles Frost was replaced by an understudy both times. I'm a little frustrated I'll never seen his Tony-winning performance in person, but I wish him the best in his future roles (on stage or off).
