MJ THE MUSICAL on Broadway Welcomes Karine Jean-Pierre & Bobby Brown

Bobby Brown and Karine Jean-Pierre were among the latest guests to visit MJ on Broadway this week at the Neil Simon Theatre. Check out photos of their visit.

Brown, the Grammy Award-winning R&B performer known for his solo career and as a member of New Edition, stopped by the Broadway musical and met with members of the company following the performance.

Also visiting the production was Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as White House press secretary during the Biden administration. Jean-Pierre likewise joined members of the cast for photos at the theatre.

MJ centers on the making of Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour while exploring the creative process and major moments that shaped his career. The musical features a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and a score built around Jackson’s catalog.

The production opened at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theatre in February 2022 and won four Tony Awards, including Best Actor in a Musical for original star Myles Frost and Best Choreography for Christopher Wheeldon, who also directed the production.
