It was a pleasure working w you all. And the cast… You guys gave me life daily… working with you all was sooo much fun and life changing. Leeland, such a great guy to know, your comedic timing is sick, “Owl Eyes” will always send me lol Libya, @libyavpugh so wise and caring just an overall tour de force. I’m still randomly saying “Trish’s Bar” lol Ezra, @ezraknight the best dressed guy I know, thank for being the best example of a strong Black man & Black Royalty; you sir are the blueprint. Sean, @sphiggs you are so Kind and so dedicated, absolutely love that about you, perfect hair and pecfect attitude lol.

You are someone I cheer for, celebrate and protect at all cost, you know this because you are the same way about me. I love the family you have built, you know @fresh131 is one of my favorite people and brother. Easton is the best combination of you too; to see y’all together is one of the best things to witness.

Today is officially my last day at the Daryl Roth Theatre. My 2nd show here after #Titanique Fun Fact: I’m the manifestation of KING, I manifested getting this gig at the load out of Titanique…and I DID! One of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time was saying YES to this show. Working on this production has been nothing but fun. From having an amazing and present designer in @heme_style who basically handed me everything on a plater and said “FEAST” due to how seamless things were for me, with Design assistant @tesssarno as the best support, to getting to work with some of the most amazing people in the land, this production made the end of my 2025 magical and I can’t wait to see what’s next for us all. Here are some of my best memories with some of the best people …

My brother TJ, You have been the best part of this show for me. The best heart and soul of anyone I’ve met in a very long time. That’s a testament to your amazing parents because they raised such a great man. Thank you for embracing me as your brother. That’s something I don’t take lightly, it’s a honor actually. You embody what a president should be. The way you make everyone feel important and noticed should be studied. What makes it even better is that it’s all genuine. You genuinely give a f about us, this production, and it shows. As I always say you are the BEST leader of this show. You have more charisma in your pinky than most will ever have in a lifetime. Thats why people love you, because YOU love YOU! That shows in how you carry yourself and how disciplined you are with your craft. So here’s to much more success and prosperity to you in everything that you can dream of. I’m forever your brother “John Henry” (inside joke) 😂😂😂😂 Love you TJ and see you soon!!! -JM

Chad, What a ride my friend but it has been pure fun getting to know and work with you. My work bestie who I respect and admire a lot. Thanks for embracing me from the start and making me feel included. You don’t give yourself enough credit for being a caring person because you ARE, well at least I know you care about me, I can’t speak for anyone else lol. You got me my first vinyls… WINNING‼️ The best gift giver in the land. Here’s to much more success and winnings for you. You are so great on stage that I know you will be booked and busy for years to come. Wishing you everything you could ever want in this life Chad, you are destined for it. Ohhhh, Don’t forget we have lunch planned one day soon… -JM #44Musical #nyc #theatre #family #workbestie #closingday

Monica & Eli, Thank you both for creating something so dynamic, so funny, and so needed right now. All I have ever wanted in my professional career is to do great meaningful work and make people feel great through fashion. You guys have ensured that for me. Trusting me with something so special will stay with me for a lifetime. I am so happy to be apart of this family, you guys make me feel seen and respected and who could ask for anything more in my career. So here’s to a 2026 filled with major success on EVERYTHING GREAT that’s in store for you guys. -JM #44Musical #nyc #theproducers #writer #closingday #theatre #family #44

My Shanicey Pooh, @shaniceonline Thank you! Thank you for being who I thought you’d be and more. It has been the best honor getting to work with you. Your smile, energy and wonderful spirit, make me feel good everyday. Me and my bestfriend Michelle @chellypooh23 grew up with you listening to your music on repeat over and over; and for me to get to work with YOU! WOW‼️ Then too add the icing to the cake, I met your amazing husband @flexaforeal and you two are, in my eye, the epitome of “Black Love” and it’s so freakin amazing to witness. God truly has his hands on me because I’m sooo blessed.. I will miss our talks and our side dance break during a quick change (🗣️Johnny John, Johnny John, Johnny John lol). It’s like we have known each other forever - - we both said that. Whenever wear my hoodie I will think of my Shanice. Just know that I’m always a phone call away if you ever need anything. We are bonded for life my friend. I wish you all the happiness, love and success that your heart can hold. You deserve it ALL ALWAYS!!!! ❤️ Until the next one… love you Shanice and see you soon!!! #myfave #44Musical #bond #genuine #bestsingerever🎤🎶❤️ #theatre
