THRILLER LIVE
Thriller Live is based on the music and life of Michael Jackson featuring classic songs played by a great band and a variety of singers playing Michael Jackson through all stages of his career. Songs include I Want You Back, I'll Be There, Show You The Way To Go, Can You Feel It, Rock With You, She's Out Of My Life, Beat It, Billie Jean, Earth Song, Thriller … plus many more.
Peter Andre returned to guest star in Thriller Live in West End's Lyric Theatre for a two-week season from December 10th-22nd. He was the first in a series of guest stars that mark the show's final six months at the theatre as it ends its record-breaking 11-year run on 26th April 2020 for the venue to be refurbished. The musical will have completed 4,705 performances, making it the longest running show ever at the theatre and the 11th longest running musical in West End history.
The musical has new video content and the addition of iconic Michael Jackson songs "Earth Song" and "History".
Thriller Live begins in the early days of Michael’s career and takes you through his time in The Jackson 5. The second act deals with the singer’s later career as a solo artist, using large screens to show cartoons, films and backdrops during the performances.
Smooth Criminal is set in a Chicago speakeasy: all flapper dresses and trilby hats. Remember the Time has an Egyptian theme. Man in the Mirror plays to a video montage of Jackson’s changing face and there’s plenty of moonwalking.
The cast includes Kieran Alleyne, Charlotte Berry, Wayne Anthony-Cole, Vivienne Ekwulugo, Haydon Eshun, David Julien, Jonah Mayor, John Moabi, Stefan Sinclair, Swing & Resident Director: Aisling Duffy, Swing, Dance Captain and Vocalist: Florivaldo Mossi, Daniel Blessing, Ebony Clarke, Filippo Coffano, David Devyne, Joel Ekperigin, Vivian Gayle, Eliza Hart, Leona Lawrenson, Mari Macleod, Simone Moncada, Oskarina O’Sullivan, Zinzile Tshuma, Matt Vjestica, Triple Calz, Isaiah Mason, Xhanti Mbonzongwana, Christian Posso and Jay-Jay Prince
The choreography is spectacular, especially for the later songs when Michael Jackson produced his world famous dance moves and routines. Adrian Grant Executive Director/Co-Producer & Gary Lloyd - Director & Choreographer
Thriller Live perfomed its last show at the Lyric on 15th March 2020.
