Speaking of Derek McKeith. Here’s  what writer/reviewer Kyle Christian of the Observer Media Group had to say:

“A true entertainer, he ventured off the stage to serenade the audience directly.  He entertained the crowd with his interpretation of Michael Jackson’s ‘Rock with You,’ complete with MJ-esque dance moves and high-pitched vocals.”
