From Broadway to Sydney and now Melbourne, Ilario shares the electrifying journey of stepping into MJ’s shoes, the preparation it takes, and the weight of embodying such a legendary figure on stage.

At its heart, this chat is about influence, ambition, and the pursuit of artistry at the highest level.
