May 2023, Michael was MENDEL in "Falsettos" by William Finn and James Lapine, to rave reviews, like;
"Mendel (played by Michael Perrie Jr.) was an absolute joy to watch throughout the performance with his impressive comedic timing and clear vocals. Although I have never been to a psychiatrist personally, Perrie’s authentic portrayal lent itself to be easily believed. Perrie’s comedic prowess shines thoroughly during “A Marriage Proposal” with sharp diction and side-splitting facial expressions. Perrie’s humanistic portrayal shows that even society’s helpers also need help from time to time." -TheatreBloom, 2023
