Who should play Michael Jackson on Broadway?
I LUV Michael Jackson.
The Michael Jackson of Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad.
The one that lives on in memory. (See Exhibit A pictured at left.)
Not this lighter, crazier version of the entertainer. (See Exhibit B pictured below.) 
I even have a Michael Jackson doll from my childhood. He's wearing the red pleather Thriller jacket, and pleather red Thriller pants. My daughter has discovered the doll and calls him: My Jackson. She's barely 2, and Michael isn't rolling off her tongue.
So when news broke that there are plans for musical production of Thriller, I was ecstatic. If there were pre-sales on a show that hasn't been written or cast, I would have a ticket.
The part that is stumping me -- beside the fact that Michael Jackson is now miraculous well enough to be creative director of this project -- is who would play him?
There's the reliable Usher, who's had his turn on Broadway. The talented Jeffrey Wright who would be great if he weren't too old and pudgy to be Michael circa 1982.
Who do you think should fill that werewolf grill and cigarette pants?
