Failed from “The Voice”
“MJ the Musical” has been a massive success on Broadway since its launch in early February at New York’s Neil Simon Theater, raking in a million dollars each week. No wonder, therefore, that she is nominated ten times as part of this 75th Tony Awards ceremony. If she did not win the prize for the musical of the year, which went to “A Strange Loop”, “MJ” was generally consecrated for her stage performance. Under the eyes of the children of Michael Jackson, Paris and Prince, the show won four prizes, including that of the best choreography, awarded to Christopher Wheeldon, and that of the male performance in a musical, which returned to the young interpreter of the King of Pop: Myles Frost.
