Broadway version, a US touring version, London and now Hamburg.
I think there's going to be an Australian version at some point, iirc.

Tbh, I don't really follow it apart from getting excited about ticket sales. Myles for London and Elijah for Broadway, for sure, and then ... Jaamal ... somebody? for the touring version. Can't remember.
EDIT - found this from last year

Seeing that other thread got me thinking.
The way I see it, about 10% of the Jackson 5's output was Christmas songs. What with it being Christmas, it would be a nice touch if they dropped some of the J5 songs (for example, The Love You Save and Can You Feel It), and replaced them with Christmas songs.
Thoughts?

To be honest, I find it disappointing that nobody is actually talking about the musical... I don't think I've ever seen a thread go on for so long with so little being said.
Sorry Paris/Annita, everything you post has no substance and just comes across as spam.
This isn't the place endlessly to give sales figures or talk about what "celebrities" are promoting the show.
This is the place to discuss the content of the show. What's your favourite part? Why do you like it? Etc.

"Benét Monteiro is one of the most successful musical performers in Germany today. He has already thrilled over 5 million viewers with his performances as as ‘Simba’ in Disney's The Lion King at Stage Theater im Hafen in Hamburg and as ‘Eddie’ on stage during the tour of Stage Entertainment's own production Sister Act. He also appeared as alternate ‘Lola’ in Kinky Boots at Stage Operettenhaus in Hamburg, as ‘Jagwire’ in Bat Out Of Hell at Stage Metronom Theater in Oberhausen, as ‘Sky’ in Mamma Mia! at Stage Theater des Westens in Berlin, as ‘Kristoff’ in Disney's Die Eiskönigin at Stage Theater an der Elbe, as ‘Alexander Hamilton’ in Hamilton at Stage Operettenhaus and most recently in the Disney musical Hercules in the title role at Stage Theater Neue Flora in Hamburg."

Well done, Myles. Good luck for the future. 
"He thrilled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with his performances as the lead in @mjthemusical. He originated the lead role in MJ the Musical on Broadway and became the youngest to win a Tony Award as lead actor in a musical. And he reprised that role on the West End since it’s opening at the Prince Edward Theatre last year. Last night’s magical performance was his last in the role as he spreads his wings and flies to his next adventure."
