Dynamite!
Myles Frost must win the Tony!
Electric!
On fire!
I swear Michael Jackson had "returned" from the dead for a concert with all his hits!
The audience's screaming and yelling were louder than any theatre performance I've ever attended, but there was no problem hearing the show.
Attention, Michael Jackson fans: Yes, it's worth a trip to New York City from Washington, D.C., and I may go again. You will not be disappointed.
The music is fantastic!
The dancing is fantastic!
The lighting is fantastic!
Did I leave anything out?
The costumes! They're fantastic, too!
Some have pooh-poohed: "But he was a pervert."
I was not going to the show to condone what he did. I was going to the show for the music! Music! Music! And it may take me there again.
Had I not had a ticket for Tina the next night (which was almost as good, but hurry! Closing August 14), I would have paid $175 to see MJ The Musical again. (Besides, Tina is coming to the National in October for almost three weeks. Must see!)

MJ will last for years (if Mr. Frost can hold out), and the actress from The Prom road show, who sat beside me, said he came out of nowhere to get the role.
He taught himself how to sing;
he taught himself how to dance;
and he taught himself how to be Michael.
You may think Michael Jackson is dead. I tell you he's back and on stage every night at Neil Simon.
Write if I am wrong.
