Man in the Mirror - The Olympia Theatre

Look, it was a last minute invitation from a friend. It’s not something I would have generally gone for. I’ve made my views on Michael Jackson pretty clear before and , although I do like much of his music, I did not have high hopes for this Man in the Mirror Life of Michael Jackson Tribute Show Thing. I was not expecting much and my expectations were met. It was one of the most hilariously awful shows I’ve ever witnessed. From the far-too-short Mini-Michael to the crotch obsessed backing dancer, from the backing singer squeezed into her far too small dress to the cheap primary school play set design, this had me laughing in all the wrong places.
