We’re taken by Myles Frost’s spellbinding “MJ” on a hectic ride through the King of Pop’s backstory as he prepares for his Dangerous tour in 1992 — when he was a painkiller-addicted, chimp-befriending, nose-whittled oddball who had not yet been publicly accused of sexually abusing children.
If you can blind yourself to this moral sophistry, Christopher Wheeldon’s production is a superlatively directed and choreographed piece of absolute pizzaz. Beat It, Smooth Criminal, Thriller, Can You Feel It? — the hits from a stunning 43-year body of work keep on coming, accompanied with precision-drilled evocations of groundbreaking dance routines.
