At long last, MiG Ayesa is finally home!\u00a0 After years of touring the world, and swinging between London\u2019s West End, Broadway, New York, and all cities in between plus a few Philippine stops, he\u2019s finally home in Australia.\u00a0 \u00a0Now, he\u2019s back in Sydney and all set to thrill audiences in the superb production of Thriller Live at the Lyric Theatre.\u00a0 Shows are from 26 February to 5 March, with two shows on weekends (4pm and 8pm on Saturday, 28 February, and 1pm and 6pm Sunday, 1 March). He\u2019s just completed Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and New Zealand too. <\/p>\n
Thriller Live is a musical production featuring MiG Ayesa with Prinnie Stevens along with an international star cast.\u00a0 The show pays tribute to the undisputed King of pop, Michael Jackson\u2019s music.\u00a0 And \u00a0MiG, of course, is a Filipino, our very own!<\/p>\n
MiG Ayesa (aka Miguel Ayesa) was born in the Philippines, grew up in Australia and found his groove in music and theatre.\u00a0 He is a singer, songwriter, actor and he exudes charm, wit and extraordinary\u00a0 talent.\u00a0 He was honoured in 2012 by Filipino Australian Movement for Empowerment (FAME) on behalf of the Filipino community for his exemplary achievements in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n
The Rock Star\u00a0 INXS reality show had opened more doors for him in the entertainment industry and landed him a recording contract with Universal Records. Since then, he\u2019s been charming audiences around the globe in theatre productions such as:\u00a0 \u201cThe Buddy Holly Story\u201d, \u201cWe Will Rock You\u201d, \u201cBurn The Floor\u201d, \u201cRock of Ages\u201d,\u201d Grease\u201d, \u201cRent\u201d\u00a0 and \u201cFame\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the words of MiG:\u00a0 “I attribute my success to three elements: hard work, passion and a little bit of luck.\u00a0 I have surpassed my wildest dreams.\u00a0 I finally feel like I belong, like this is what I’m meant to do in this life. \u201c<\/p>\n
Even more admirable is his ability to stay totally grounded and connected to his roots.\u00a0 He has participated in various Charity events for typhoon victims in the Philippines, even writing and recording the song \u201cUnited as One\u201d specifically for homeland. He has also recently completed a travelogue on the Philippines \u201cPhil It Up,\u201d where he is seen visiting our top tourist spots, and mingling with everyday people, proving once again\u00a0 that it\u2019s definitely more fun in the Philippines.<\/p>\n
So whether you\u2019re a Michael Jackson fan or not; or simply love the music; you definitely can\u2019t miss the Jacksons\u2019 beat. The rhythm will captivate you and it will definitely get you up and dancing on the aisles!\u00a0 Who knows you may even be moonwalking by the end of the show.\u00a0 But more importantly, it\u2019ll be worthwhile to savour MiG Ayesa on stage, even if it\u2019s only for a while, this time, until his next time.<\/p>\n
