Expressions of MJ: A Tribute to Michael Jackson
The music of Michael Jackson will undoubtedly live forever--its impact on pop culture is undeniable. To celebrate the singer/entertainer's contribution to the music world, the For Children, By Children (FCBC) youth theater troupe will honor the "King of Pop" via its production, "Expressions of MJ."
"We wanted to pay tribute to Michael Jackson not only through song and dance, but also recognize his humanitarian efforts," said FCBC artistic director, Rod Lewis, who also wrote and directed the production.
Audience members will be treated to a medley of the entertainer's hits including "Dangerous," "Who's Loving You," "Dancing Machine," and "Remember the Time," which cover his days with The Jackson 5 as well as when he ruled the charts as a solo artist.
"Expressions of MJ" opens this Thursday, Feb. 18 at 7pm at the CICS-Longwood Auditorium, 1309 W. 95th St. Additional shows are Friday, Feb. 19, and Thursday and Friday, Mar. 4 and 5. All shows are at 7pm; tickets, $7-$10. Contact Rod Lewis at 708-769-9880 for further information.
