Michael makes it rain
Deep tracks and funk gone too soon
Count the syllables
This was an excellent and entertaining show. If you liked Prince or loved Prince, you will enjoy this show. If you are familiar with Prince but wanted to get seller into his artistry, a great introduction. I had to go home and dig out My Sign Othe Times CD after this show and reminisce.
What a great show! 99 haikus isn’t enough. Michael’s tribute to Prince shouldn’t be missed.
What fun! When is the last time you heard a haiku spoken and one (or 99 about Prince)? Sweet and silly, clever and sincere, I enjoyed this show so much- there is trivia and other forms of poetry in the show; a little something for everyone.
Michael is a charming host, and even leaves this non-Prince fan wondering just what album to start with to appreciate the purple one…!
Michael’s always funny, engaging and has outstanding work that is relatable. This time, it’s about Prince. And Michael shows you he’s not just a fan of the hits, he brings you poems about deep tracks, not just When Doves Cry or 1999. Also, outstanding work by the tech for this show, as Michael definitely made her work with all of the different sound hits involved.
Michael brings a poignant, yet hilarious, fast paced, insight to the world of the Purple Funk icon’s discography-an Prince himself. Over 30 years of music & history (in bite size morsels) that any diehard Prince fan can appreciate is masterfully served up by our enthusiastic host-Michael. You’ll come away with a guaranteed, “Wow, I didn’t know that!” Plus, prizes to audience members. Wish it could be 90 minutes instead of 60!
