The unauthorized musical will be produced by Jonny Depp. 

For the Love of a Glove: An Unauthorized Musical Fable About the Life of Michael Jackson, as told by his Glove is set to on Michael Jackson’s life from the perspective of the King of Pop’s sequin glove. According to The Guardian, the production is described as “a fresh, revisionist look at the strange forces that shaped Jackson and the scandals that bedeviled him.”

The musical was penned by Julien Nitzberg. 

This is the latest project about the late pop icon. In other MJ biopic news, multiple outlets report that Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King acquired the rights to make a biopic about Jackson (rights for the music included) which will span his life from child star to his passing away.
