After the announcement that MJ The Musical in Sydney will end in August, The MJ Cast sourced that it will be moving to Melbourne. And the rumour was true.
MJ The Musical have officially confirmed it will play in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre from September 2025.
Tickets for the Melbourne season will be available for pre-sale from Monday 26 May 2025, with Melburnians encouraged to join the waitlist at mjthemusical.com.au for first access to tickets. Meanwhile, final tickets for the Sydney season – closing 23 August 2025 – have just been released via Ticketmaster.
Brought to Australia by leading producer Michael Cassel, alongside original Broadway producers Lia Vollack, John Branca, and John McClain, the Australian production of MJ The Musical premiered at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on Saturday 8 March.
Lia Vollack, MJ’s original Broadway producer, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible response to MJ – the energy, the passion, the standing ovations night after night. The entire creative team and I are thrilled that MJ will call Melbourne home from September, and for more audiences to experience the talented company who bring this show to life.”
Australian producer Michael Cassel said: “MJ is an electrifying theatrical experience that has been embraced by Australian audiences – from the roaring ovations to the electric word-of-mouth. We can’t wait to bring that magic to Melbourne and fill Her Majesty’s Theatre with the music, movement and spirit of Michael Jackson. This production is a true celebration of one of the greatest entertainers of all time, brought to life by a world-class, award-winning cast and creative team. We’re thrilled to share this extraordinary show with one of the most passionate theatre communities in the country – and to leave Melbourne audiences on their feet night after night.”
