Columbia’s Sophomore Class is sponsoring a bus trip to New York City on Saturday, November 4, 2023, that includes the option to see the Broadway performance of “MJ.” The trip is open to students, families, staff and friends in the East Greenbush school community.
Who: Teachers, Students, Families, Friends – All are welcome!!
Date: Saturday, November 4, 2023
Musical Option: We are offering the opportunity to purchase tickets to see “MJ” at 2 p.m. at the Neil Simon Theatre at 250 West 52nd Street. He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry has finally arrived on Broadway in a brand-new musical. Centered around the making of his 1992 Dangerous Tour, “MJ” goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Jackson into legendary status. The score of “MJ” features classic hits like “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Thriller,” known even by those who aren’t closely familiar with Michael Jackson’s hits. But it also includes some of the oldest jams from The Jackson 5 era. The show’s orchestrations fully reflect Jackson’s own eclectic taste, ranging from pop to R&B to rock. The show is a passion-fueled swirl of melody, dance, design, and style, a love letter to the artist—and the dancers and backup singers who made it all possible.
