The hourlong show, which will feature MJ’s music, will follow two millennials, Vincent and Victoria, who meet on Halloween night and find themselves at This Place Hotel, which is located at 777 Jackson Street.
As they venture deeper into the hotel, they have a slew of magical encounters including one with the King of Pop himself, who performs a dance routine for the finale.
This isn’t the first time the artist’s estate has released a project since his death. Within the last few years, it has released two albums, the “This Is It” documentary and a 25th anniversary re-release of the “Bad” record.
