The show opens April 13 and he'll be bringing the curtain - and the house - down April 18. The shows hits Toronto April 22 to May 1, and West Palm Beach, Florida May 4 to May 9. MiG owns the stage in Burn the Floor with his combination of smooth vocals and impressive dance moves.

People who have seen MiG on stage in Burn the Floor or We Will Rock You sing the praises of his professionalism and magnetism in major productions. Others who have seen MiG on Rockstar: INXS or have seen him up close and personal as he sings his own music say it can't get any better. Some people have been fortunate enough to see him shine in both worlds.

Regardless of whether you prefer one type of performance over the other, you'll get the best of MiG on his album. It will be just you and MiG, and this musical appetizer - the Blown Away e-card - will leave you starving for the main course. Dig in!

MiG Ayesa Heating It Up Down Under

The wildly popular production of Burn the Floor just began its run at The Palms at Crown in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and crowds are seeing a familiar face in the blistering production. MiG Ayesa, who grew up in Australia and launched his music career in Oz, comes from New York City to star as the male vocalist in the stirring celebration of dance.

Aussies had numerous opportunities to see MiG excel during his early years in live gigs, theater, movies and television. After leaving Australia, MiG Ayesa became a household name in the U.K. after his starring role in We Will Rock You. He then won hearts and minds as a finalist in the CBS-TV show Rockstar: INXS, displaying a stunning ability to master both rock and ballads. MiG cemented his popularity with his debut album, "MiG" (Universal/Decca), and performances in the U.K., Asia Pacific, Australia and the U.S.

And then there was Burn the Floor on Broadway...MiG lit up the stage like a New Year's Eve fireworks display. Even those who have virtually worn out MiG's album, watched Rockstar: INXS, and have seen him at live gigs multiple times, were amazed by MiG in Burn the Floor. He has a way of raising the bar when you think the bar has reached maximum elevation.

When Aussies get reacquainted with MiG on stage, they'll see a new side of him. MiG has grown, even beyond the impressive talent people were accustomed to seeing. He's a true professional, and strives to deliver an outstanding performance, every night, every song. He succeeds.

Part of the growth comes from MiG directly...he has collaborated with proven artists and put in countless hours to enhance his skills. His voice is more consistent and controlled than before, yet packed with feeling. The feeling reveals the other aspect of growth. MiG has always been able to sing with expression because of his warm and caring nature, but now conveys even more feeling. He has found success in his career, yet has also experienced his share of broken promises and disappointments. MiG may not realize it, but some of that emotion and vulnerability comes through in his singing. It makes his performances even richer and more meaningful for audiences, and he connects with them on a whole new level.

MiG has added polish and feeling to his performances, yet his magnetic personality has remained. He still has the fun sense of humor, the ready wit, and the warmth. Aussies will notice that quickly if they talk with him after a show. In spite of all the worldwide travel and bright lights, he's still grounded.

For those lucky enough to get tickets for Burn the Floor, it will be a performance to remember. MiG will also put his talents on display in Hats Off! The History of Showstoppers and on the February 25 episode of So You Think You Can Dance Australia. Australia will recognize the familiar face, hear the familiar voice...yet see a whole new side of MiG that reaches more deeply and dazzles more brightly.

MiG seamlessly stepped into the role of star male vocalist in the torrid dance extravaganza beginning in early January at the Longacre Theater. He stoked the fire with impeccable vocals, a striking stage presence, and impressive dance moves.

The Broadway version of Burn the Floor featured some of the world's top dancers, the engaging Mary Murphy, the strong voice of Rebecca Tapia, and first-rate musicians. MiG blended with the outstanding cast, yet his charisma and exceptional talent stood out. As MiG proved in Rockstar: INXS and We Will Rock You, his versatility is dazzling.

MiG sparkled in all numbers, yet some held particular appeal. He ignited the full house with The Dirty Boogie, showcasing a contemporary style and flair, and athletic dance moves. The stage came alive as standout vocals and dance flowed together into one steamy sea of talent.

The infectious and upbeat Magdalena was a big hit, as MiG mastered the song and revved up the crowd with an intense yet smooth delivery. He filled the stage with a remarkable presence and passion.

Time stood still as MiG sang a captivating Burn for You, layered with yearning, angst and irresistible tenderness. There aren't many singers who can hold their own when volume and heavy instrumentals are stripped away, but MiG shines. He revealed even more depth of talent and emotion as he sang under the spotlight.

When energy and passion meet polish and precision, it's nothing short of perfection. MiG's dynamic performance in Burn the Floor created a buzz. It forged a promising path that many fans hope will include an enticing combination of both stage and live gigs.

MiG will join Burn the Floor as it goes on the road to Australia, beginning its run at The Palms at Crown, Melbourne, Victoria on February 20 and lasting through March 7. I saw the show on Broadway twice, and it wasn't enough. MiG is sensational in Burn the Floor, and the dancing and choreography are some of the best you'll ever see. Aussies - get your tickets while they last, and look forward to a superb musical experience.
