Georgia’s School of Dance and Theatre brought the King of Pop home this weekend, and Regency Theatre in Freeport has not felt that alive in a long time.
MJ: Our Way ran April 24 through 26, a three night celebration of Michael Jackson’s legacy filtered entirely through local talent. The concept was simple and the execution was anything but. Georgia’s took one of the most iconic catalogs in music history and made it theirs, delivering a show that felt less like a tribute and more like a statement.
The audience showed up, showed out, and left with something to talk about. From the choreography to the staging, every element of the production carried the kind of intentionality you do not see enough of in local performance spaces. This was not a cover act. This was a full creative vision.
What Georgia’s School of Dance and Theatre continues to prove is that Grand Bahama’s creative scene is not waiting on anyone. The talent has always been there. The stages just need to be bigger and the audiences need to keep coming out to fill them.
At $35 a ticket, it was easily one of the best value experiences Freeport had to offer this month.
The moonwalk landed. Grand Bahama felt it.
