Many a Michael Jackson fan mourned the passing of their musical idol in June last year – from electrical contractors who couldn’t resist the occasional moonwalk to car dealers who sing along to Beat It on the way to work, the King of Pop left behind legions of loyal followers. Now fans can catch their favourite Michael Jackson songs performed live at London’s Lyric Theatre, as Thriller – Live takes the stage.
Thriller – Live is a Michael Jackson tribute concert that has been running since before the star’s death in 2009. A group of talented performers treat the audience to spectacular choreography and special effects in a celebration of the famous Michael Jackson music hits.
The Michael Jackson album Thriller has become the best-selling album of all time, with 10 million copies sold and surely many more sales to come. It is fitting that this Michael Jackson tribute on the UK stage takes its name from the phenomenally successful album. Thriller – Live covers Michael Jackson’s 40-year career from his childhood with the Jackson 5 to his latest hits, and demonstrates just why the troubled and eccentric star was such an inspiration musical figure.
Thriller – Live opened in February and will be running until September 12th, so with the dazzling musical event nearly at the end of its West End run, Michael Jackson fans who haven’t yet experienced it should book tickets as soon as possible. If you loved Michael Jackson, boogie on down to the Lyric Theatre for a performance that’s truly “off the wall”!
