Thriller - Live

Thriller Live, a live concert tribute to the works of Michael Jackson takes on the West Ends Lyric Theatre on 2 January 2009 after two ecstatically received extensive UK tours. The product of Flying Music who have had such jukebox hits as the Motownmusical Dancing in the Streets and a series of tributes to the Rat Pack, Thriller Live has been hailed as a must-see by the Liverpool Daily Post. Not just a sing through of the titular album, which became the biggest selling album of all time only ayear after its 1982 release, Thriller Live is a retrospective of Jackos entire recording career. Arguably more famous now for his turbulent and controversial private life than for his music, the show includes countless timeless classics, reminding us what made MJ such a star.

Thriller Live, a live concert tribute to the works of Michael Jackson takes on the West Ends after two ecstatically received extensive UK tours. The product of Flying Music who have provided such jukebox hits as the Motown musical Dancing in the Streets and a series of tributes to the Rat Pack, Thriller Live has been rapturously received by critics and audiences alike.

Although the from which the show takes its name became the biggest selling album of all time only a year after its 1982 release, Thriller Live is not just a sing through of it. Instead, it serves as a retrospective of Jacko’s entire recording career in almost chronological order. Arguably more famous now for his turbulent and controversial private life than for his music, the show ignores the more controversial side of the gloved one’s private life and focuses on his immense musical triumphs, including countless timeless classics such as I Want You Back, Beat It, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Bad, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough and Earth Song, reminding us what made MJ such a star in the first place.

Thriller Live Celebrates First Birthday

Thriller Live celebrated its first West End birthday at the end of January and announced that six new songs will be added to the production this year. The updated version of the show, a high-energy tribute to the music of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, will officially launch on 11 February at the Lyric Theatre.

An Unforgettable Tribute

Established in 2006, Thriller Live came to the West End after three excellent UK tours. The unforgettable musical tribute is currently playing at the Lyric Theatre, as well as touring simultaneously across Europe.

With a score including hits such as ‘Can You Feel It’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Earth Song’ Thriller Live combines great music with amazing multi-media effects and jaw-dropping dance routines.


Booking Extended

After the death of Michael Jackson, Thriller Live took on special significance. The Lyric Theatre became a focal point for flowers and tributes to the King of Pop and the phenomenal public demand for tickets saw the show extend its booking period well into 2010.

Further worldwide productions of the show are planned for Australia, Asia, North and South America and Canada.
