The Fil-Aussie talent wows the audience on his Broadway debut in the musical Burn The Floor. Mig Ayesa is best remembered as the Top 3 finalist in the CBS talent search for Rock Star, INXS vocalist.

“MiG delivered a splendid performance Tuesday night (Jan. 5) as the musical’s lead male vocalist,” wrote Edmund Silvestre a PhilStar Correspondent in New York. “MiG simply shone everytime he was onstage,” Edmund quoted MiG’s friend Suzanne Gallagher as saying. “I didn’t know he’s also a great dancer.” Among those who lent support to MiG was Oscar-winner Matt Damon, a friend of MiG and MiG’s wife Simone De La Rue.

“MiG was superb and the show spectacular,” Matt was quoted as saying. The Bourne Identity star and his wife Luciana joined the awestruck crowd in extending MiG and the dazzling performers more than five minutes of standing ovation during the curtain call.

MiG’s Broadway appearance was a limited engagement only, from Jan. 5 to 10, for the final week of the show’s New York run. Burn the Floor musical will embark on a world tour in countries like Australia, Japan, Korea, Canada and then back to the US.

According to Edmund, Burn the Floor director Jason Gilkison and producer Harley Medcalf formally announced that the show was MiG’s Broadway debut. After his week-long Great White Way gig, MiG will be joining the show’s national and international tours, with fellow vocalist Rebecca Tapia, a Pinay-looking Australian Idol finalist who is of Ecuadorean descent.

MiG is in the middle of recording his follow-up CD, due for release in the first half of 2010. Earlier, he released a stunning composition called United As One (Kasama Mo Ako) as a tribute to the Filipino nation following the massive destruction wrought by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
