I took my wife and my son to see HAPPY FEET because I knew Miller was involved, hoping for something that would be diverting enough with the singing and dancing to keep him entertained. He’s created several classics already, and I’m willing to bet he’s got more in him. He’s walked away from better jobs than most people will ever be offered.
