MJ The Musical

Company is beginning rehearsals for Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" tour with a run of "Beat It"

Jackson 5 appear in Specials Onstage before they begin singing "Blame it on the Boogie"

All sing "She's dance dance dance dance dancein' machine" and are doing the Robot.

Middle Michael does "The Robot" while a video montage tells the audience that it became a huge sensation after he originated the dance on Soul Train. Song ends with him haunted by the memory of his father and everyone else laughing at him.

Toward the end of the number the cast surrounds a roadcase DR and when the break out of that position in a chorus of "You Can't Win" Neon lights start chasing in Blue/Orange and Yellow Spotlight circles chase in the side windows of the set.

The final 5 seconds of the number build into a very fast sequence of flashing along with star strobes, that ends in a bright white flash on the music cut-off

Midway through the song, white rotating beacons turn on along with chasing white lights on the Studio54 Columns throughout the dance break.

MJ is standing on a Gold Grammy base podium and is rolled from UL to Center stage. There is a short strobe on the ensemble surrounding MJ as they briefly clap.

This laser is the transition into a brief part of the song where Michael is shooting the "Thriller" music video

MJ wins the grammy and the set flickers with white strobe light flashbulbs

"Mama Say Mama Sa Mama Ku Sa" Section of Wanna Be - The stage picture involves flashing and Chasing colored neon through to the end of the song.

Lights flash white twice on the words "WHERE'S BUBBLES?"

The rest of the song celebrates the popularity and critical acclaim of the "Thriller" album

Lights do a double flash, once every 8 counts for 7 intervals during the opening of "They Don't Care About Us" when the reporters begin dancing. A Photosensitivity Warning for this entire final number of Act 1 is probably appropriate!

Loud guitar riff is paired with white strobes

MJ is dragged US to a table and there are 5 white flashes on "HE WOULDN'T LET THIS BE"

Beginning with "skinhead deadhead" there are various flashes and color changes through this verse and following dance break.

MJ Screams in the middle of the dance break and there is a lot of strobing, followed by a yellow sidelight random strobe sequence as the dance continues

Last moments of the song builds into a frenzy of screams and guitars, The Neon Surround, Strobes, and Projection all being "power surge flickers" which completes in a bright white flash on the song's cut-off

The song Billy Jean has chasing white and colored Neon.

Smooth Criminal begins with a bright sudden reveal and a Police Car chasing effect on a line of ensemble at center stage. *There is flashing throughout Smooth Criminal. If it feels like there might be a flash timed with the music, there probably is!

Press Conference with the Jackson 5 sitting at a table at center. Random flashes on them from Moving Lights

Pyrotechnic accident at a Pepsi Commercial is depicted using Video content and Ambulance flashing Red/Blue

Victory Tour has flashing colored moving lights throughout the song "Can You Feel It"

After "Fall into step with the rest of us" is shouted by the ensemble, MJ Screams, during which there is a random strobing of random white Neon Lines

Once the zombies have surrounded MJ, the Carnival Barker summons MJ, there are Red double pulses every 8 counts, which turn into double pulses from the Carnival Light Bulbs.

Cast spreads out full stage for the Dance Break. There is a white flash, followed by random strobing sidelight on the cast.

Voice Over says "No mere mortal can resist eh evil of the thriller". There is a brief random strobe sequence, similar to lightning, on the black silk kabuki curtain as it falls and is sucked offstage

MJ pops up out of the floor on a toaster lift, and hundreds of flashbulbs strobe randomly for 30 sec, while he turns DS. The sequence completes with a blinding white flash to end the show in a Blackout.

During the Finale, 3 songs are performed, during which there are concert style lighting chases, hits, and flashes throughout. Nothing too crazy until the last few seconds of Wanna Be when it the whole rig really lets loose. If you've made it this far, it'll probably be okay.
