Wheeldon spoke about the musical, stating, "The show is very much anchored in one particular moment in time. The musical was first announced in June 2018. Gareth Owen designed sound production, with hair and wig design by Charles LaPointe. Natasha Katz and Peter Nigrini are collaborating on lighting and projection designs respectively. Scenery for the production is designed by Derek McLane with costuming by Paul Tazewell. The production is directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon, and it features a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the production was postponed to 2021. The musical was expected to debut on Broadway in the summer of 2020. Actors Equity wasn't shouldering the blame for the cancellation, stating "It is difficult to understand how a modest delay in February would impact a run that was scheduled for late October.” The Michael Jackson estate decided to cancel the planned Chicago tryout, ostensibly due to "scheduling difficulties" brought about by an Actors' Equity Association strike. The run would continue through December 1. MJ was set to premiere its pre-Broadway run in Chicago, US on October 29, 2019, at the Nederlander Theatre. Recording for the original Broadway cast album took place between February 7-8, 2022.
