    Miscellaneous:

    Michael received a rave review from Entertainment Weekly for his role in Little Me. They wrote:

    "[Martin] Short lends his remarkable energy to seven roles...Director Rob Marshall keeps everyone else out of Short's way, which is good and bad news. The considerable talents of Faith Prince (as the big-busted dim-witted, unwitting man killer) go under used, and the stage dims a bit when Short isn't commandeering it. There is a brief exception, when Michael Park -- a dashing Broadway vet who originally did the Elvis Presley numbers in the Leiber and Stoller revue "Smokey Joe's Cafe" - sings "I've Got Your Number" while performing a strip tease. He almost steals the first act, but "Little Me" rests squarely and solidly on Short's slight but able shoulders."
