Thriller Live Tickets

Thriller Live is a theatrical musical production paying homage to the life and work of Michael Jackson. Since 2006, Thriller Live has been wowing audiences in London's West End, on numerous United Kingdom tours, and now simultaneously boasting productions at the Lyric Theatre in London and on a multinational tour. Over his forty-plus years as a recording and performing artist, Michael Jackson has sold over seven hundred fifty million albums, performed in every corner of the globe and touched millions upon millions of lives.

The musical anthology follows a linear path, starting with Michael Jackson's early years as a performer with the Jackson Five, moving to a climax with the song Thriller. Thriller spent thirty-seven weeks at the top of the charts, and is a suitable ending to a story that would require significantly longer to encompass all of Jackson's notable catalogue. Jackson himself in portrayed by a variety of actors and singers, each age-appropriate to the material being presented. Tickets for Thriller Live can be found at local retailers, or by ordering online.

The historic Lyric theatre is a willing participant to the spectacle. Established in eighteen eighty-eight, the Lyric was only the second theatre built on its bustling street, and is today the oldest still standing. The Lyric theatre has been hosting musicals and comedies ever since, and is a lively, traditional off-set to a more modern dance and musical performance.

Thriller Live is not a Michael Jackson-authored performance. Rather, it is directed by someone who simply must be a huge fan: Adrian Grant, who has also penned a book on Michael Jackson. Thriller Live does have a narrative, it is more of a "jukebox" performance, a series of musical medleys and vignettes loosely supporting the few narrative elements present in the spoken deliveries. Far better, perhaps, to enjoy the life's work of Michael Jackson simply and purely through tributes to his amazing song-writing, rather than dragging the torrid and often unsubstantiated gossip and innuendo surrounding the man onto the stage. Muddling through the garbage of Michael Jackson's life took on an interest on the part of some consumers that out-weighed or even disregarded his musical achievements and offerings; perhaps someone else will direct that production, but Thriller Live deals exclusively with moving tributes to Jackson's over forty years of awesome musical creation.
