Screen Michael Jackson's film 'This Is It' at the Apollo Theater

Target:

The Apollo Theater Management

Sponsored by:

'This Is It' Michael Jackson and Apollo Theater Fans

According to a Sony staffer directly linked with the distribution of Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' film release, the Apollo Theater management decided not to host screenings of his film. There are no indications that the Apollo plans to schedule any future screenings of 'This Is It.' The Apollo Theater is where Michael Jackson and his brothers were discovered on amateur night when he was at the precious young age of nine years old in 1967. Everyone needs to email the Apollo Theater to protest against the management's decision to undermine MJ's cultural and artistic legacy and our heritage by neglecting to host screenings of his final theatrical opus at the theater where is lifelong career was born. Request a screening of 'This Is It' is held when a star on the Apollo Theater's walk of fame is laid sometime next year or by the anniversary of his death on June 25th, 2010.

We the undersigned request a screening of 'This Is It' at the Apollo Theater in New York City where Michael Jackson's lifelong career and cultural legacy was discovered. We are disappointed to learn, according to a Sony staffer directly involved with the distribution of Michael Jackson's final film in which he appears right before his untimely death, that the Apollo Theater declined an offer to film 'This Is It'. Cultural and artistic preservationists, as well has Michael Jackson's fans and admirers, believe this was a gross error on management's decision. Please reverse that decision my hosting screenings of 'This Is It' on the same day that Michael Jackson's star is laid on the "Walk of Fame" that the Apollo Theater is scheduled to host sometime next year or host screenings of the film no later than the anniversary of his death on June 25, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this request. We are confident that the supporters of the Apollo Theater and fans of Michael Jackson will support such an event that honors Michael Jackson's cultural and artistic contributions as the greatest entertainer that ever lived.
Sincerely,
Preservationists, fans, and supporters of the entertainer Michael Jackson

What a slap in the face to MJ and his family!! Can't even begin to think of a logical reason for this exclusion at The Apollo, especially when "This Is It" has had extended runs everywhere else. Hopefully, this will be rectified and will be shown by , if not before, June 25, 2010--thank you, g evenson

I realize that "This Is It" has been out for a couple of weeks already, but it SHOULD still be shown at the Apollo, for all the reasons stated above in the Petition. It is an amazing movie which deserves to win some awards...Michael in REHEARSAL still could sing and dance as good as ever, and as a tribute to him I really hope that the Apollow Management reconsider and show this movie....I can't believe there even has to be a debate about this. Please reconsider......with thanks

What other side events should be held on the day(s) the Apollo Theater hosts screenings of 'This Is It'?

The Apollo Theathre should definitely screen this movie. Not only as a tribute to Michael Jackson, but to provide his fans with a way to remain connected and inspired by this phenomenal man!

It's the right thing to do to screen This Is It at the only theater in the world where Michael Jackson's talent and genius was first discover. Props to the audience who voted him and his brothers winners for the amateur night competition on that auspicious day!
