About The New MJ
This isn't the first time Fields-Green has been a smooth criminal, he's the only performer to have played Michael Jackson in three global productions: on Broadway, the US national tour, and now in the West End. Fun fact: he was even flown to London as a cover for the role before landing the official spot!
Fields has said "I'm deeply humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to perform in this show and role here in London. Ever since I made my debut in the West End earlier this year, something in the city has been calling me back. London I'm excited to share my artistry and make some magic with you in this beautiful city. I hope to see you at the theatre, I promise you're not going to want to miss it. Let's party!"
