Michael Jackson's brothers moved by musical in Hamburg

Brothers Marlon and Jackie Jackson experienced a deeply emotional reunion with their late sibling's legacy during a visit to the "MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical" in Hamburg. The two elder Jacksons were visibly moved, stating it felt as though Michael himself was performing on stage. The musical, which has captivated audiences for 17 months, recently surpassed one million viewers in Hamburg, a feat matched only by Disney's "The Lion King."

"After all these years, it's as if Michael is on stage," Marlon and Jackie shared, reflecting on the enduring power of their brother's music and performance. They admitted that the global reach of their music, as part of "The Jackson 5," was initially underestimated. "It's fantastic to see that the music touches hearts," Marlon added, recalling how he and Michael developed choreography from a young age. The brothers felt Michael's spirit and energy were palpable throughout the performance.

During their visit to the Stage Theater an der Elbe, the Jackson brothers received an exclusive tour. A highlight was seeing Michael's iconic, sparkling white glove, valued at 5,000 euros. Marlon recounted that Michael found the glove in a box belonging to their mother. The brothers were visibly engaged, swaying to hits like "Billie Jean" and "Blame It on the Boogie," with Marlon exclaiming, "We want more!"

Musical director Dorina Maltschewa described the brothers' visit as a "great honor" for the production. The "MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical" focuses on two days in 1992 during Michael Jackson's "Dangerous World Tour" rehearsals, offering a glimpse into his creative process. The show incorporates hits from his childhood and career, including "Billie Jean," "Thriller," and "Smooth Criminal." Stage Entertainment's Stephan Jaekel expressed happiness with the audience's reception, noting that a show ending is not in sight.
