INFiLED LED screens have been installed to power the Tony Award-winning MJ The Musical during its current tenure at the Stage Theater an der Elbe, in Hamburg, Germany. The musical explores Michael Jackson’s creative process leading up to his Dangerous World Tour in 1992.
In partnership with Blue-i Group, a leading supplier of event theatre technology, INFiLED’s long-time partner Stage Entertainment provided a large-scale LED screen featuring panels from its AR Series with a 3.9mm pixel pitch.
A successful demo led to the installation of 250 panels for the Hamburg performances, which began in December and will continue for several months.
The visual design was critical to delivering the immersive experience of the show. Vibrant, concert-style animations had to transition into intimate, dramatic scenes, showcasing different eras and providing context for key moments in Michael Jackson’s life and career.
This required dynamic LED screens that could work in harmony with projection mapping while integrating digital content with real-time physical scenery. The production also demanded precise synchronisation and vivid rendering.
INFiLED says that AR3.9 panels are delivering 5000-nit brightness, ensuring every detail is visible, even under intense stage lighting.
The AR3.9 are designed to mirror intricate details, such as a moving bridge on stage. The panels also work in harmony with Brompton Technology’s processors and Disguise media servers, enabling smooth workflows that supported the show’s technical demands.
Ethan Forde, European sales director at Blue-i Group, explained: “Because this is a long running production, with 8 performances each week, we needed LED panels that were highly reliable. The screens had to perform consistently without the need for frequent maintenance or servicing.”
Forde added: “For productions like this, the right screen is crucial. INFiLED’s AR3.9 LED screens delivered exceptional brightness and colour accuracy, bringing the creative vision to life. The integration with Brompton and Disguise was also key to achieving a flawless production.”
