Worth every second. I will go again !

"From the beginning when Michael came out to the ending scene 100+. I am visiting NY and this is the highlight and memory I will remember. I am an original fan when they were on the Ed Sullivan. Wasn’t sure my grandson who is 21 would like it. He loved it! Can’t wait to see it again if it comes to San Francisco. "
