Craig Winberry as George Michael (Photo Courtesy Hannes van der Merwe) Singer steps into big shoes for George Michael tribute RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com For a moment in time, there were random tales of folks seeing George Michael around Dallas.
He lived here sometimes with his then-partner Kenny Goss. That connection to him may feel slight now, but performer Craig Winberry finds delight in the fact there is something here that ties the city and the singer together. “His music connects globally, but having that Dallas connection will add another layer,” Winberry said by phone from Denver.
Winberry plays the singer in The Life and Music of George Michael, a new tribute show that comes to the Majestic Theatre on Saturday, Jan.
29. In the show, Winberry plays Michael in his solo years, delivering many of Michael’s biggest hits in concert format while also sharing stories about the singer.
