Kay, Thank you for sharing that beautiful review of the show with us. I would of had my "priorities too" if I were there. Now that you have seen him live in this show,would you say he has grown since RS INXS? Notice anything different in his deliverance? Sounds like he's more confident,not that I ever thought he wasn't. He's certainly taken my breath away on many occasions and always will. He's definitely getting a ton of experience under his belt and meeting lot's of new people that can offer great advice. It would be so cool to live a day in MiG's shoes, Toni,Don't take that literally either. LOL Oh well I have so much on my mind about MiG, after reading that great review,I'm just jumping from one MiG thought to another MiG thought, I LOVE IT!! =) Ok,I'm done..just a little overly excited!

That's a great question about whether MiG has grown - I have lots to say, but will have to answer that later, Jaunty!

Another little video outside on the sidewalk. The gal taking the pics was someone we met at the box office and introduced her to MiG. She was so thrilled to meet him! clickyJaunty, it's hard to answer your question, but I will say that I was really taken aback at how amazingly wonderful he was and how he seemed to own the stage. Yes he was "just" a vocalist in a dancing show, but he absolutely filled the stage on many of the numbers, almost to the point of being the main focus with the dancers as the backdrop to his performance. He was born to be on the boards, he is unbelievable. I am crossing fingers, toes, and eyes that he will be in the part of the tour that in in Toronto, as that is accessible to us in the midwest, and also on the US leg as that will be accessible to many more of us.

Kay and Toni, Thank you both so much for all the recaps on BTF, the videos from Toni, and the pics of MiG with Christina and Kay are just gorgeous!!! Hope you have got over your bug Toni, I also seemed to have picked one up from my weekend in Edinburgh, now snuggled up on the couch watching Messiah, feeling like crap, but seeing MiG perform still seems to put a smile on my face . Will check back in a gain in a while to see if there are any more updates. Love to all at TM xx

Awww, Wend, sorry you are under the weather. Yesterday I was busy at work and suddenly realized that I felt fine again. My next problem is how to get quicktime converted to WMV or at least mp4. The last update from apple, required for the phone, ruined quicktime. I've been on the apple forums and everyone is screaming about it and they are up in arms that apple still hasn't fixed the problem.

Thanks for the get well wishes Toni.....hope you can get the quicktime problem solved, I am surprised that it is taking Apple so long to sort this problem out, I thought they were pretty quick with things like this ...Fingers crossed they will sort it soon!

I am trying to figure out how to explain how MiG was in this show. In other stage performances, he played a part such as Galileo, he was awesome and able to put himself into each role, but it was still a role. In HMR, he didn't actually play a set part, but he had to fit his performance into the Messiah mold. In this, he was just MiG being his fabulous self. Each performance was so different, a different side of him. I just wish you all could have been there to see how awesome MiG is when he lets it loose. He WAS the zoot suited 40's boogie singing entertainer, he WAS the wild man singing and dancing to the beat on the stairway, he WAS the emotional man sitting in the blue light in the corner, and etc etc etc.

My two kitties were both cremated too. They are buried together (mother and son) in the same site at a pet cemetary back in CO. I usually visit them when I go home for a visit. I didn't get a chance to this year, though.

Thanks so much for the great pictures and reviews of the show. It was the next best thing to being there. How I wish I had been!. If I had known someone else was going, I might have made an effort to join you. Hope we get to see MiG in this production when it tours!

It is too bad it was so last minute. I didn't actually know until a few days before, because I had to get time off ok'd at work, then wait until I found a decent flight and room. I was just lucky that it all came together, because it almost didn't. The worst was trying to trade hours at work, management was not happy. The day before we left, they said they weren't going to approve my Monday...I told them I already had tickets and wasn't going to be in town, so they finally let me find someone to fill in. And show tickets, we almost got locked out of those, too. Couldn't even get any for sunday, and both shows on sat were last row up in the balcony...and we felt fortunate to even get those!!!! I sure do wish all of you could have joined us, it would have that much more fun!

Nice find Thanks Sophia and Toni! I know you were watching MiG but I love Derek Hough's dancing. Did he also excel that day?

Derek was very good. He almost "overdances" sometimes. I mean, how fast must you twist your hips, lol, fastest hips in the west. He seemed better in this than in DWTS because he didn't have to tailor the moves to a non-professional dancing partner. Actually, all the dancers were so good, it's hard to say if anyone was the best. And it was amazing to see that MiG could hold his own when he interacted with the dancers. His performances, voice and dance, were so outstanding that I couldn't help but focus on him all the time. He totally stood out even among all the goings on around him.
