Brought to Australia by leading producer Michael Cassel, alongside original Broadway producers Lia Vollack, John Branca, and John McClain, the Australian production of MJ premiered at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on Saturday 8 March to roaring acclaim. Its Melbourne premiere last month saw audiences on their feet for two standing ovations mid-show and a third for the curtain call.

Lia Vollack, MJ’s original Broadway producer, said:

“The response to MJ around the world has been incredible, and we can’t wait to share it with audiences in Perth. It’s a thrill to bring the production to Western Australia for the very first time, and to showcase the remarkable talent of this company.”

Australian producer Michael Cassel said:

“MJ is the kind of show that feels like stepping into the front row of a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event. It brings the energy that connects across generations thanks to all the hits we know and love. We’re thrilled to bring it to the Crown Theatre and for Western Australia to share the event that’s been electrifying audiences worldwide. Perth, get ready for a night that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.”

Powerhouse performer Ilario Grant leads the production as MJ, following acclaimed performances on Broadway and in the Australian premieres in Sydney and Melbourne. Perth audiences are set to witness his electrifying performance as the global smash hit arrives at the Crown Theatre from June 2026.
