ALEX IN NYC:From what Planet, sirrah, do you come? Are you ignorant, or are you simply dumb--The King of Pop, he stands afore your eyes No Fool would miss such lame disguise.

Have to agree. His appeal, while maddening, is relentless. Of all the collected wisdom on my personal site, this picture accounts for half of the hits every day, gratis, ususally, google image search. Okay, maybe wisdom is the wrong word...

Enter TIMBERLAKE.
TIMBERLAKE aside:As the path of the sunne in yon skyTh'arc of Fame doth live, and doth die.Renown once held must in some wise stopI shall usurp his crown of Pop.
Once I was but a mere Boy amongst a band.My moves were freshe, but my beats, they were bland.Then a vexèd wardrobe shocked each rubeNow my Fame rests on one piercèd boob.

SIR PAULA glooming peace o'er Neverland this day.Peter Pan for sorrow will not show his head.Go hence, to have more talk of death of pop;Biographies rewritten, concerts cancelled.The Earth song will be sung in far flung lands;For never was a HIStory of more woeThan this of Michael and his Billie Jean.

That Was It: The Tragic Tale of Our King Michael JacksonTongue firmly in cheek, playwright C.J. Tuor borrows the structure of a Greek tragedy (plus a few tricks from Shakespeare and Bertolt Brecht) to tell the King of Pop's life story. Director-choreographer Ali Keirn embellishes Tuor's extremely witty tale -- featuring a chorus that intones lyrics from Jackson hits -- with eccentric dramatic poses, overwrought modern-dance tableaux, and lots of trademark Jackson moves. But what really sells this high-energy comedy is the cast's ability to win laughs even as they lay bare the pathos in Jackson's story. Playing Jackson pre- and post-plastic surgery respectively, Tom Daily and Emily Goldberg are particularly winning. —Jack Helbig
