Read our privacy policy A new musical about the life and career of Michael Jackson is set to open in London’s West End. During its New York run, the musical was criticised in some reviews for “sanitising” Jackson’s legacy, ignoring the multiple sexual abuse allegations against him. On Monday, Nottage said, per The Guardian: “As a Black musician and a pioneering voice in the music industry, Michael Jackson demanded inclusion, broke incredible barriers and in the process made indelible music that continues to resonate, delight and move listeners today. The musical will follow Jackson on his Dangerous World Tour “After many years working with the Royal Ballet and bringing the Tony Award winning An American In Paris to the West End, I now very much look forward to bringing MJ to UK audiences,” he added.
