FREEDOM: THE GEORGE MICHAEL EXPERIENCE is an electrifying, immersive musical event celebrating the life and iconic songs of one of pop music’s brightest and sexiest stars.
Conceived and performed by New York pop singer/songwriter Todd Alsup, this upbeat “club music cabaret” traces Michael’s trailblazing history, weaving historical multimedia clips and 20 of his most unforgettable hits.
The show debuted in June 2022 and enjoyed a triumphant 15-week sold out run at Provincetown’s legendary Crown & Anchor. BGHV is proud to be bringing Todd back to the Hudson Valley this May to kick off Pride season & celebrate what would have been George’s Michael’s 60th birthday this June.
