MJ Is Coming to Fayetteville and It’s Going to Be Big
The energy around this one is already building. MJ the Musical is rolling into Walton Arts Center for a full week this May, and it’s not just a nod to Michael Jackson’s biggest hits—it’s a full-on Broadway production that digs into the creative fire behind the 1992 Dangerous World Tour.
If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to catch a show, this is it.

What’s Happening:
This is more than a concert—it’s a deep look at the work, the collaboration, and the fire that drove one of the biggest stars on the planet. The show is fast-paced and full of movement, but it also takes time to show the gears turning behind the music. You’ll hear the classics. You’ll catch your breath during the choreography. And if you know the catalog, you’re going to recognize just how much love went into this thing.
MJ was put together by some serious talent, including a Pulitzer-winning playwright and a Tony Award-winning choreographer. They didn’t just recreate a tour—they captured the mindset of an artist who pushed boundaries.
Kids 8 and up are good to go, so bring the family if they’re fans too.
