They say you can speak things into existence, and NFL star Scott Thomas is the latest example of that.
The athlete, who just signed with the Dallas Cowboys in March, is a lifelong Broadway fan and is especially fond of MJ the Musical, which has been an international hit since its debut in early 2022. Thomas, himself, has seen the musical over five times, even bringing his teammates to one of the shows, which subsequently served as an inspiration for an episode of the HBO series Hard Knocks, making this a feel-good story about pursuing your passion.
Thomas made his one-night-only cameo appearance for MJ The Musical on June 13 at the Neil Simon Theatre. Ahead of his debut, Thomas released a statement saying: "I cannot think of a better way to celebrate my time in New York than by making my Broadway debut! I am so grateful to MJ for making this dream come true and for the support over the past few years."
He continued: "It’s truly an honor to be able to witness the greatness of these performers. I hope to see everyone at the Neil Simon Theatre." MJ the Musical producer, Lia Vollack, added: "Solly has been such a great supporter and friend of Broadway and our show. We couldn’t think of a better way to thank him for his time in New York—giving him his Broadway debut!"
Meanwhile, the official Instagram for MJ gave Solomon a shoutout for his performance, captioning the post: "Solomon Thomas has got star power on both the stage and the field! His Broadway debut in MJ the Musical is one for the books 🏈❤️🔥." Fans were supportive as well, writing: "Over the top performance!" and "This is good stuff right here."
Shout-out to Thomas for making his dreams come true.
