When you hear the name Michael Jackson you can immediately place yourself at a time and place when he made an impact on you.

Dawson recently joined me to talk about what the folks of the Capital Region can expect when they see this show. He says that should expect and experience something they've never experienced before. He went on to say that it is done the way that Michael would have wanted his life to be portrayed through that music.

On playing the iconic characters of the late Tito Jackson and late Quincy Jones he said he feels honored. He said there is a lot of attention to detail when you're portraying a real life human who lived and had the type of impact that both Quincy Jones and Tito Jackson had. Being true to those people is very important.
