The Jacksons (including Randy) Planning Musical on Broadway

[img:$uid]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1x2KEtfKhTQWZaNRMsQ9DVQEhiw5SzX7NNpY6guG_u3a8SCrf6g[/img:$uid]

Michael Jackson's brothers have reunited to create a Broadway show to celebrate his life, called Jackson 5: The Musical.
Jermaine Jackson, 57, has been in talks with his New York contacts and he, Jackie, 61, Tito, 58, Randy, 56, and Marlon, 55, have spoken to promoters.
The musical is based on their impoverished up-bringing and how they conquered the music world.
It will feature hits by Jackson - who died in June 2009 age 50 - such as Thriller and Billie Jean, and songs from the Jackson 5. A source said: "There have been a few meetings and the reaction has been really positive.
"The family have pitched it on the Jackson's life story - in particular Michael's.
"It was originally intended for 2004 but I don't think Michael was keen to do anything for a while after his child abuse trial, then the concerts came up.
"The family have felt the love from fans since his passing. They feel it's the right time to get the project up and running again."

Looks like Randy's age is the only one that is incorrect.

I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!
