The king of pop is back

Looking for a ‘Thriller’ of a night?

MJ the Musical is showing in Melbourne and giving locals their Michael Jackson music fix.

Melton resident Zavier, who plays Little Marlon in the production, said acting the iconic role and performing as part of the Jackson 5 has been incredible fun.

He was initially shocked and excited when he found out he’d been cast in the role.

“I had gone through a few audition rounds, and it was so cool to hear that my hard work had paid off. It was Christmas Eve when I found out, so it was the best time to receive the good news!” Zavier said.

“When I went through the audition process for MJ The Musical, it was a totally new experience for me and during that process, I really gained more and more confidence each step of the way. The team and cast members have all helped me so much along the way.”

MJ the Musical delves into the highs and lows of the king of pop’s life, music and career, bringing out all of his greatest hits along the way.

Zavier said he loves being a part of Michael Jackson’s story in the musical.

He shares the stage with a group of talented performers who he’s become good friends with throughout the production.

“The other young performers in the show are some of my best friends now, it’s been the greatest experience ever,” Zavier said.

MJ the Musical is showing at Her Majesty’s Theatre until Sunday 1 March.
