**** Highly Recommended   "MJ The Musical", the summer’s must-see musical, is fabulous!  If I were to rate it on a scale of one to 5 WOWs, "MJ" would get a 10!  Roman Banks, the young man who played Michael Jackson, has the perfect voice for the part.  Christopher Wheeldon’s brilliant choreography took Jackson’s signature moves to the next level in the production numbers.  In all the years I’ve been reviewing, I’ve never/rarely seen a production number getting a standing ovation.  "MJ" got three!  By the way, I can’t remember seeing so many sequins – and that was in the audience!  4 BIG Spotlights
