Critics Say
Jersey Boys
Critics largely embrace this slick jukebox musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, praising its energetic performances and smart book that elevates the genre, though some find the backstory thin and structure conventional.
MJ The Musical
Dazzling choreography and electrifying performances thrill, but this estate-approved musical sidesteps controversy, delivering a slick, superficial celebration that prioritizes spectacle over substance in exploring Jackson's complex legacy.
