I saw today with a SRO ticket worth of $35 and in this show, it was not a problem with great view.
I thought it was a good show, with flashbacks scenes really well placed to give the emotional pack that it deserves, so we could understand the main character struggle. Certainly a more cohesive book than most Jukebox/Biomusicals.
The choreography is sharp, extravagant and well done, and I think Wheedon knew how mix the aspects with real magic theater with the ones as if this is a show. I was so taken by “Bad”, “Smooth Criminal”, “They Dont Care About Us”, and then, of course, “Thriller”.
And well, Frost was in, he was superb. Mimetic in Michael’s moves and voice, fully giving us an instropect body when not performing, and when Music was on - BAM, hes a superstar.
I would say he deserves a Tony, but dont know of the Tonys will touch a production about Michael Jackson.
Also, loved that I asked an usher who would play Michael, and she said it was Myles, and the he was injuried before, but I was lucky to see him (“Theres something special with him doing this role”, she was right.
