It was a very enjoyable show, I think one of the best you can see in Europe. It was definitely worth traveling 1,500 km to see it!

Ticketing experience was very good. Unfortunately the theater hadn't have big enough cloak room so I have to keep my winter cloths with me during the show. Escept that the show was very good and the dancers did amazing job. Singers were ok, I prefer voices from american broadway but it's matter of preferences I guess. If you like musicals you should like that one - great history and lyrics, beautiful choreography and scenography.

Incroyable, magistral, vraiment un des plus beaux et intéressant spectacle que j'ai jamais vu! Autant sur la mise en scène, l'histoire, la danse, le chant, les costumes, les lumières, le décor, c'était fou ! Je conseille à tout le monde! Les comédiens sont incroyables. Ceux qui jouent MJ enfant, jeune adulte et à son apogée de carrière sont exceptionnels, autant que tous les autres comédiens. C'était une soirée mémorable

It was a magical experience for me and my mother. The actors were excellent, and the staging was spectacular, to say the least. The vibrancy of the city and the music lifted my spirits. All in all, I totally recommend going to see this musical.

The experience as a whole was wonderful! I bought the tickets for the play as a gift for my boyfriend because I knew it was a dream of his to have this experience. However, I ended up being surprised and enchanted by how beautiful and magical the play was. The interaction and the way the actors entered through the back doors made us feel like part of the setting and the story being told. I highly recommend it because every second was worth it—seeing how beautiful the play was and, most importantly, witnessing how happy my partner was inside. It was like watching a child receive the Christmas present they had always wished for!

Nice theater, comfortable seating, well organized. Entertainment obviously of the highest level. From the Grand Circle, row E, I could see well even without the binoculars.

The whole show was great. The actors played amazing. The whole performance was amazing. Also the music was great and the lights. The only problem was that we couldn't see the whole stage.

- One of the earliest types of entertainment is theatre. Theatre has been performed for roughly 2,500 years. It has changed shape and form over the years and is now regarded as performance art, with various other kinds of acts on stage taken together.
