That’s right… a musical based on the life and career of Michael Jackson is still going to happen, but producers recently decided to change the name. 

According to Variety, what was originally titled Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, will now be known as MJ.

At the moment, it’s being developed in New York City and is scheduled to hit Broadway in the summer of 2020.

“We can confirm that the Michael Jackson musical has a new title,” Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show, said to Variety. “As the show has evolved through its development process, the production felt that ‘MJ’ was a better and stronger choice than relying on the title of any one individual song.”

Of course, Michael has been even more in the news recently after multiple allegations of child sexual abuse have resurfaced thanks to the recent HBO documentary Leaving Neverland. featuring two accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. 

MJ will have a book by Lynn Nottage and will be pulling from the pop star’s catalog of hits for its music.
