MICHAEL JACKSON, THIS IS IT!

OMG!!!!!!! THIS IS IT is FANTASTIC. MICHAEL JACKSON is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I went to the premiere and I am still buzzing.
The film is a unique look at behind the scenes footage of Michael Jackson and his team of performers in rehearsal for the THIS IS IT live show.
I really want to urge you to get tickets pronto and see this before the limited run closes. It is utterly inspiring and has you dancing and singing along in your seats.
