Taking one Michael Jackson song and turning it into a musical is silly. However if they could come up with a decent plot which included a lot more of his songs, then a MJ musical could actually be done quite well.

We have to give him what he wants, comrades, so we can banish the Beast and continue making cynical and probably unfunny jokes about dead celebrities! Diddy Mao! Diddy Mao! :p

At least this was set in motion before he died. *continues work on Farrah Fawcett the musical*
"My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music."

Also, me.

Ugh, oh please!
I'm starting to feel that the way his death is treated is getting highly disrespectful of blacks who actually did achieve something in life.
All he ever did was wail, turn slowly white, get filthy rich and interfere with little kids. Seriously.
"I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, and as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

We need an Iron Maiden Musical. :)

That being said, this is a bad idea. Because Jackson's music was awful.

Yes. And you have every right to say that, just as I have every right to say that Jackson's music was awful. Iron Maiden will always sound much better than any of Jackson's crap.
