New favorite play!

"There isn't enough space to write all the good down in here! I am a HUGE MJ fan! So of course I loved it! Don't go expecting even to be just like mishap Michael did it. It wouldn't compare. But i love how they incorporated a little of what he did with new, amazing moves. The actor playing Michael is phenomenal! Inflection in his voice and singing was amazing! Loved it! "
