This Is It. November 13, 6:30 PM 2009, Documentary Style
This is a fascinating look at what it takes to put together a huge live production.
In the weeks before his death, Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009)
was rehearsing a show, "This Is It," that was to open in July. This film begins with
a few of the auditioning dancers speaking to the camera about why they're trying
out and what Jackson means to them. Then we plunge into rehearsals at Staples
Center in Los Angeles. The film is arranged by musical number with pre-recorded
material and footage from Jackson's various rehearsals edited together to take us
through what would have been the concert's set list.
