The musical is described as a "look at the strange forces that shaped Michael and the scandals that bedevilled his reputation."
Playwright Nitzberg who has penned the show while commenting on the project said, "I'm known for writing a lot of biopics. A major TV network wanted me to write a [Jackson] movie ... but the question came up [about] how to deal with the child-abuse allegations."
Child abuse allegations levelled against Jackson after an HBO documentary 'Leaving Neverland' was aired which featured the accounts of two former Jackson proteges - Wade Robson and James Safechuck.
The two claimed that the late singer maintained an intimate relationship with them. Jackson's musical will be backed by Depp's company Infinitum Nihil.
Meanwhile, 'MJ', another musical based on the life and career of Jackson is set to open at Neil Simon theatre next year with preview performances commencing July 6.
