The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In thought this show was so brilliant, the performers were really great and I still enjoy watching the performers, but the performance that I enjoyed most would have to be Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I loved the moonwalk and his dancing was superb as usual.
