Thriller Live was created as a celebration of the music and musical career of Michael Jackson, to many ‘the King of Pop’, and the Jackson 5. The sensational music of over three decades is supported in this extravaganza of a theatre concert-show with breath-takung multimedia effects as well as the Jackson trademark of exceptional choreography and dancing.
This exceptional show takes a roller-coaster ride of over two-hours of fantastic songs which include the sensational hits of Billie Jean, Earth Song, Thriller, 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 and Beat It. The cast and live band are exceptionally talented and ensure the show’s outstanding success that further the Jackson legend and legacy.
The Premier was attended by Tito Jackson who was met at the after show event by sister LaToya. But at the World Music Awards, where Michael Jackson himself attended to collect a Diamond Award for sales of over 100 million albums, the cast of Thriller Live performed and were absolutely thrilled to later meet Michael Jackson himself.
Michael was born on the 29th August 1958 and tragically passed away on 25th June 2009, in his 50th year, just prior to a much-awaited comeback UK tour. He was laid to rest in a flower-adorned gold-plated casket at an evening ceremony attended by family and friends at Glendale’s Forest Lawn Memorial Park on 4th September 2009. To his global fans his music will live on. For more information on theatre and tour dates please visit www.flyingmusic.com.
