Mature Era! Michael who watched you practice for months for your audition. After all, Cabaret was a dream show of yours, and you wanted to try your best to get your dream role: Sally Bowles.
Mature Era! Michael who heard the loudest scream ever suddenly one night. He immediately rushed to your room to see what was wrong, only to see you smiling and jumping up and down. “I GOT THE PART!” You exclaimed, clapping your hands. Despite the fact that you absolutely scared him shitless, he was proud of you for getting the role.
Mature Era! Michael who picks you up from rehearsals every week. Always listening to you about how it went, what you did, what you needed to work on.
Mature Era! Michael who watches you apply your makeup and do your hair backstage in your dressing room. He’ll come up behind you and rest his hands on your shoulder before kissing your cheek. “You look wonderful, baby.” He’d say, kissing your cheek, and you’d scold him your smudging your makeup.
Mature Era! Michael who got the best seat in the house to watch you perform. As much as he wanted to, he’d never record during the show. No matter how amazing you looked, he didn’t want to violate theatre etiquette. He would just wait until the official footage came out.
Mature Era! Michael who always clapped the loudest. He didn’t cheer the loudest though (again, cannot violate theatre etiquette). However, you always recognized his clapping among the array of overlapping sounds in the audience.
Mature Era! Michael who was absolutely entranced by your performance of “Don’t Tell Mama.” Your vocals, and your smooth choreography were breathtaking to him, and he definitely clapped the loudest after that song.
Mature Era! Michael who met you backstage after the show, bouquet of roses in hand and immediately embraced you. “That was wonderful, darling.” He said, pressing a kiss against your temple.
Mature Era! Michael who attended the private cast party. None of your cast mates were really surprised by the fact that you were dating Michael Jackson. He stayed close to you the whole time during dinner, he didn’t speak much, letting you have fun with your cast mates.
a/n: this took so long, but it’s ok bc Cabaret and mature era Michael 🥰
