A theatre in Soho is bracing for kickback as it prepares to put on a Michael Jackson show that fails to address his abuse allegations. The Prince Edward Theatre on Old Compton Street, owned by theatre impressario Sir Cameron Mackintosh, has recently decided on its cast for MJ the Musical, which starts next March.
It is the first major Jackson show to hit London since Leaving Neverland, the 2019 documentary that featured men describing how Jackson sexually abused them when they were children. Allegations have been denied by Jackson and his estate.
