If you love Michael Jackson’s music you’ll adore this smash hit West End show.

Tickets from £15.00


Thriller - Live Description

Thriller – Live: Boogie on down to Michael Jackson’s greatest hits

This is more of an exploration and celebration of singer-songwriter and street dance whizz Michael Jackson’s spectacular talents than a biography. It doesn’t cover every aspect of the great man’s life in any detail, but you’ll enjoy a fast-paced, runaway stream of massive smash hits that made him a household name worldwide.

Thriller Live – The Story

In 1988 Adrian Grant, the man behind the stage show, was so taken with Jackson’s talent that he created the world’s first Michael Jackson fan magazine. Two years later, with a circulation of more than twenty five thousand, he was invited to Jackson’s famous funfair-filled home, Neverland, and a lifelong friendship was born. Kicking off with Jackson’s early Motown and blues tunes and covering his disco, indie and pop smashes, this show tracks Jackson’s success through the decades via his music, an affectionate and respectful look at Jackson’s musical achievements from one of his greatest fans.

Thriller Live, a genuine West End musical masterpiece

Take your seats and boogie on down as the cast belts out song after wonderful song, covering the early Motown and Jackson Five days right up to the solo successes that made such an impression on generations of music lovers. And the dance sequences are simply breath-taking. If you were thrilled by Jackson’s pop videos you’ll be equally enthralled by this West End masterpiece.

The audience always participates in the Jackson classic Shake Your Body Down, giving you the opportunity to get involved and feel even closer to one of the greatest musical stars of our times. If you weren’t lucky enough to catch Michael Jackson live before his tragic death, the stage show goes a long way towards making up for it. Whatever your age, you’ll enjoy hearing his famous songs performed live on stage by a troupe of extremely talented people, with stunning costumes, fantastic choreography and, of course, every single one of the singer’s uniquely funky dance steps.

Thriller Live song list

This spectacular show contains thirty five of Michael Jackson’s greatest and best loved hits. Act one covers Music and Me, ABC, The Love You Save, I Want You Back and I’ll Be There. Show You the Way, This Place Hotel, Another Part of Me, Shake Your Body Down and Blame It On The Boogie. She’s Out of My Life, Off The Wall, Get on the Floor, Rock With You and Never Can Say Goodbye, Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough and Can You Feel It.

Act two sees the cast performing mega-hits Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, Working Day and Night, Dancing Machine, PYT, Beat It, The Way You Make Me Feel, I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Dangerous, Man in the Mirror, They Don’t Care About Us, Heal the World, Billie Jean, Thriller itself, Bad and Black or White.

Dance routines, featuring daring leaps from an on-stage bridge, break-dancing, and, yes, the moonwalk, are spectacular.

Sherry

Very good


John

Brill :)


I went with my group of girls and we loved it. Singing and dancing along. Fab end to our day.


Alicia

For Michael


Barbara

Ok, but needs a story


Don't get me wrong, the music is good, but I was expecting there to be a story rather than just a collection of songs. It was hard work in places, although the second half was full of better toe tapping songs.


Jenny


I was unsure what to expect but it was better than i could have imagined the cast where great and very interactive, the music and lightning was amazing and very impressed with the young michael jackson singing live!, The trailer on the website does not do the westend show justice i would like to see it updated as the cast we saw where much better, would highly recommend and would see again.


terry

a fantastic show - best we have seen ever !


fantastic dancing and great vocals - a wonderful experience !


Mike Willetts

not impressed


The girls dance and costumes had nothing to do with MJ dance/style. The show without the girls will be better.

Fantastic Night Out :)


David

Loved it!


I had some family over from the states and took them to see Thriller. It was an excellent show. The music and dancing was amazing and the singing top notch. They also got the crowd involved which was great. It was a fantastic finale to a great holiday and has inspired me to see more shows in the West End. My uncle has seen Michael Jackson live twice and said that this one was better than the real thing!! :-)


Lesley

X factor meets Kareoke - expected much better


Whole thing seemed very cheap. Some average singing and dancing. No effort on sets. Felt like I was watching X factor. Much better west end stuff out there. The whole thing hangs on Michael J's songs, but they've sold him massively short with this production


Reg

Amazing MJ performance!


Thriller was even better than i expected it to be! The performers, their MJ moves, the singing and the vibe! I recommended it already to anyone i spoke to. Congrats on a great show!

Very enjoyable show


Loved the show but found out couple next to me paid half what I paid through an agency - bit miffed


Tony

great entertainment


Great seats some five rows from the front and very central to the stage. Very talented cast that offered a wide variety of dances and constantly kept the crowd involved. Two hours plus of fantastic memories, tunes and a massive feel good factor. GO SEE IT - YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

Best Musical Ever!


If you go, get front row seats if you can. The show was just amazing, it was like one big fantastic party. I have read reviews saying its not 'MIchael Jackoson' but I think it was a brilliant tribute to the man himself. Im sure he would have been very very proud. I will definitely recommend this show to my friends and family. Brilliant night out. Dancers and singers were all superb! What a night!!! You will be dancing in your seats


Sally

fun


if you like micheal jackson you will love this,


jane

Thriller: Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!


Fantastic atmosphere and great music. get ready to shake your body!


Patsy

Enjoyable trip through the life / career of MJ.


Overall, I really enjoyed the show. The level of singing, dancing and performing is excellent. There were a few small things that were a bit annoying. You can see that some of the costumes could do with some attention and a bit of investment. Some could do with a good wash / dry clean too. The theatre PA could also do with being updated as the restricted frequency was extremely evident. The switching between backing track and live band is distracting and you would really prefer band all the time. There are a few songs that appear lip-synced too but obviously because of the strenuous dance routines. David Jordan is the shining star of the show (and a star anyway) for me and a real tribute to MJ. I'd definitely go again next time I need that MJ fix.

Really good

Review of Thriller Live


The show was excellent. Would recommend this to anyone who likes Michael Jackson.


Matthew

Great evening


Had front row tickets first act was a young singer who performed abc when I first heard him sing thought he was miming as it sounde too good but can confirm he was singing live amazing boys got a great future ahead I highly recommend this show.


Selim

'Thriller' is a 'Thriller


Fantastic adaptation of the life of Mj. Great vocals and fantastic audience participation.


David

Thriller Live Review


The show was very good although notwhat I expected. I imagined that there would be someone (or a few people) assuming the character of Michael Jackson whereas instead it was more of a concert of some wonderful singers, singing his songs. The dancers were fantastic. However, I was disappointed that the main dancer who completely looked and moved like MJ, was miming! I did enjoy the show and the talent was amazing, just wasn't what I expected. I also found it strange seeing the female vocalist sing the songs, although her voice is brillinat! Overall, definitely worth a visit.


Lucy

Rejuvenate and feel young


The show was fun and entertaining even if you're not a Micheal Jackson fan. The dance and music is exciting.and relaxing. I have seen it twice, first as a couple and with my teenage son, both times were great. Make sure to book a stall seat. Balcony seat feels like a spectator which ruined my second show


Gold

Theatre becomes alive


full of energy and your included in the show


Joanne

Not what i expected at all. Very disappointing. The vocals of all but one of the actors were dreadful! Not value for money at all. This was something I would of expected to see in Butlins, not in London!

Thriller london weekend


This is the most vibrant fast paced west end show I have ever seen.The music speaks for itself but the dancing and acrobatics were outstanding,a great family show that leaves feeling revitalised and when you lesve the theatre you know you have seen something really special.


Derek

Fantastic - loved every minute!!


If you like Michael Jackson you will love this show!! I went with 5 others and we all thought it was fantastic. We are going to book to see it again with some other friends. I literally grinned from start to finish.


Kerry

not good


This should not be viewed by a michael jackson fan. More for dancers........if i wanted to see people flipping all over the place I would go to see diversity. The males were more sleezy than anything. The main "michael jackson " guy didnt even sing and could only moonwalk all over the floor. appauling show. I could tell these ppl what to do to make it better easily. you woulld have to try to make it so bad.


Krishan

A great tribute to the King of Pop


Lively, fun entertainment, looking back over the years of Michael Jackson. The crew were very talented, enthusiastic and extremely fit in the way they portrayed Michael Jackson’s music and dance moves through the years. The young Michael Jackson stole our hearts, what a talent in one so young, well done to Eshan Gopal.


Richard

Superb show


Loved the show but feel we were overcharged £120 per ticket was very expensive


Sharon shipton

Thriller Live


Pete

Thriller Live


The show was absolutely amazing. It was like going to see a Michael Jackson gig! The acting, singing and dancing were so professional it only felt like we were there for about 30mins. We couldn`t believe we were actually there for over 2 hours!! It was great how the cast involved the audience which added to the show being one of a kind. An absolute must to go and see. You won`t be disappointed, its worth every penny!!


Lin

Not a bad night out

the show is takes you on a journey into michael jackson musical career and success,with great enthusiasm.the young michael was at time slightly off peech but great effort from the youngster that played the part.all taken into consideration great evening especcially for my italian nephew that loves michael jackson.


Mauro

Good Night Out in the West End


See this show before it comes out of the West End. I didn't know what to expect but was really 'thrilled'. It has something for everyone and leaves you coming out of the theatre with a feel-good feeling.


Dave

exciting, entertaining and great fun for all family


This was a very exciting show, the audience were so excited. The singers were great and the dancing was fab. I never saw micheal Jackson live so cannot compare this show to his performance but it was so entertaining.Do remember that this performance has strobe lighting.


Angela

Fab Nite


Michael Jackson memory live on in this show, its fun, great singers and dancers really give their all! we were dancing all through!


rachel warby

A good show. BUT beware of your choice of seats!


The show was great! Would have been a better experience if my view of the upper stage was not restricted. I purchased one of the lowest priced tickets knowing that maybe I'd be far away from the stage but not knowing that certain parts of the show i would only be able to see the feet of the performers. I was not happy about this atall!


tam


Absolutely outstanding. We're not really theatre goers so wasn't sure if we'd enjoy it but loved every minute!!


Samantha

Loved it Brilliant Show...


Loved the show and great value.....


Luke

The Thrill of Thriller


Great music that we all love already. Dancing fantastic. In fact one of the dancers could pass for John Travolta so if he ever does a film/show of his life!! Sat in seat E1 and E2. Would suggest from E3 onwards as slight restriction on view. In all a great time was had.


Minter

Amazing show and every singer had a brilliant voice


Thriller live was amazing, also enjoyed michael jacksons songs since i was young and still listen to them now. The show was brilliant and the singers had fantastic voices. I liked that there was a girl singing the songs which made the show stand out more and be different in a good way.


Rachael

Can't recommend this show enough, it's a must see, you'll love it !!


Linda

Thriller Live! = Thrilling + Lively!!


What a wonderful show! I went not knowing what to expect, and was completely blown away by the talent on stage. Don't expect a story to accompany the songs (like with Mamma Mia or We Will Rock You) - Thriller Live! only has one interest: to showcase the incredible talent of Michael Jackson! The choreography was spectacular and songs were done in different styles to keep everyone entertained! There was wonderful audience participation and I'm proud to say that I was clapping and dancing on my feet by the end of the show. A few of the video clips shown felt a little cheesy for my liking, but the overall energy was incredible. Long live Thriller Live!

VERY ENTERTAINING NIGHT


ALEXANDRE


The show lacks a story and a stage star, clothing is hideous and storyteller weak


nena

Thriller misses a beat or two


There were some outstanding performers in the show but some of the singers were quite average. Spreading the songs amongst so many singers made it difficult to identify with Michael Jackson and his work. The show certainly warmed up towards the end. Billie Jean and Thriller were 1 st class numbers.


Sue

the show was amazing and energetic

Do not sit in the top balcony as the curtain meant you couldn't see anything at the top of the stairs.


Anonymous

Amazing


Fantastic music, dancing. A fitting tribute to the King of Pop. The Cast were totally immersed in the show and the audience were mesmerised. Would reccommend it to anyone & would go again myself. Only 1 star for story as it's not a fictional story, more of a tribute.


Anne

excellant


the show was brillant i took my daughter and grandson the cast get you involved in the show had a great time


christine

Thriller lives up to its name


I would have liked the song "Ben" included,

a briiillllliant night!!


went to the lyrics theatre to see 'thriller live' (it was a surprise bday prezzie for my partner) and it was brilliant, the perform was amazing, they had some serious talent and i was singing along and clapping my hands all the way thru! my partner also love it and to quote him "this was the best bday present EVER!" i just wish i couldve got up and danced, but im not sure the people sat behind me wouldve apreciated that, lol! i absolutely loved it and would recommend that everyone, especially M.J fans such as myself n my partner, would go to see it! a BIG well done to all the singers, performers, band and all the behind the stage people who made the show a success! FANTASTIC SHOW!!


MADZ G, london

Calling all Michael Jackson fans


If you grow up an love Michael Jackson then you will love this show !!!


Sally

Could have been great


We were very disappointed there was absolutely no story, as it cous have been very entertaining. As it stands the music and vocals are great fun and we loved joining in.


Nicholas

A 'Thrilling' Night - MJ is alive


Music we all remember, and the best talent since Michael Jackson himself. GO AND SEE IT!!


Bec

Could be better


the first half was disappointing; the dancing was rather poor, the singers were good, one v good, but having seen 'free' MJ shows on the southbank that would be a few tiers above this, it felt disappointing to have paid for this.


L

thriller


good music and atmosphere


valerie

Good Show


Don't seat too close to the stage, as its a small theater


Martin

1st class show!


Fantastic, energetic show which has us singing and dancing all the way through! Performers were 1 st class with bags of energy and great voices.


Cheryl

Not what I was expecting


This is more of a tribute concert than a typical westend show. Very basic staging and no storyline. Music was great and atmosphere buzzing but just not what I had expected.


Mel brown

Amazing


Show was brilliant will definitely go again and recommend it - didnt realise there would be a woman singing many songs although she had an amazing voice found it strange would have preferred more male singers as MJ was a man! Some singers sounded like him which was great


HB

Fun music and dancing


Penny

Average entertainment


Chris

Thriller ?


Would only recommend to people who like Michael Jackson/Jacksons songs. There is no story. Though die-hard fans would be disappointed, as only one look- a-like and hardly any Jackson 'moves' until second half. Suggest, get more look-a-likes that can dance, and sing, like the opening act, as this is basically a showcase of Jackson songs. Stand out performer, Haydon Eshun and best dancer and look-a-like David Jordan.


Jane

Good but not enaught good


Compare to the priscilla show its just not enaught good


Peter

Amateurish


Whilst I enjoyed the show, the first half left me confused to what it was trying to be. I enjoyed the second half much more but it is just the songs and music of MJ that carries it. A lot of the dancing was poor except for the MJ impersonator and all the singers were good but the miming was disappointing. I got reduced price tickets price so I felt I'd paid a fair price, however that would not be the case if I'd paid the full amount.


Pat

Fantastic


The show made the weekend for my 9year old grand daughter and myself. Absolutely brilliant

What a fab show!


Watched the show yesterday, thoroughly enjoye it, enjoyed the audience interaction! The song were fabulous, the young Michael was fabulous even though he was visibly nervous, he should embrace his talent! If you don't like audience interaction this is not the show for you, don't go to a wonderful show and sit and be miserable and look down on people having a good time! Well done to the cast, crew and not forgetting the band! Thank you

Ros

Tonight is Thriller Night!Awesome show!

Linda

School Performance with bigger budget


This was not a musical, there was no story there whatsoever (not event attempt to create one) just a group of dancers and singers performing Michael Jackson's songs (some sung and danced really well, other boring to watch). If it was sold as Michael's Jackson sing along tribute I would say it was good. But I bought a ticket for a musical and was very disappointed


Michael

Thriller was thrilling !!!!!!!


an absolute amazing singing and dancing show. it had you involved right from the start from the little boy playing a young Michael to all the dancers and main singers. first class. A few emotional moments especially for Heal the World. Wow. Loved it.


Geraldine

Takes 5 to replicate Michael's voice, sort of


John

I think the vocals where not great but what I found strange was that there was a women singing most of the songs and 3 different guys singing michaels songs and another micheal who dances.


The seats where in the stalls we paid £62.50 and could see great someone talk sat infront of me what a shame. I think for that money my seats should have been well vissable. My little girl could not see at all and they don't not have any pillows to lift her slightly up for her to see. The service was terrible. I paid for a good seat and I could not see.


Christina

dancing & singing the afternoon away


my 8 year old daughter is a huge MJ fan so this show was her b'day treat. we loved every minute of it! the songs just kept on coming and got better as the show went on. she didnt really know any of the old songs but that didnt matter at all. great performance by all the actors. thank you for a wonderful afternoon!


Steffi & Katie

Exceptional!


Lloyd

Thriller failed to thrill but did ok


Was ok at times lots of fun but slowed in the middle. Also we couldn't sit in our seats as we wer a couple of mins late as waiting at the bar and people were sat in our seats. Others arrived after us and had the same problem.


Bertolaso

DISAPPOINTING - NON THRILLER


The young Michael Jackson supposed lookalike singer/dancer can't. The singing failed to sustain the notes or stay in key; the dancing definitely lacked verve, pizzaz or anything out of the ordinary. All in all the young boy portraying MJ was a totally dissapointing in his abilities. The only scene that was good was the actual Thriller song. The costume/clothing used for all Michael Jacksons - even if you look close at that on the brochure cover - look as if they have been pulled from a rag bag jumble sale. pathetically poor looking - unlike MJ's clothing. The dancing, singing left a lot to be desired and generally I thought the whole thing a dishonour to Michael's abilities indeed. The music was good, singing not bad either.


Someonewhofeelscheatedof£70x3

Family friendly


We took 2 young fanatic Jackson fans who loved the show. The first half was not the best for a 10 and 14 year old as it included a lot of mj early stuff which I didn't even know! Despite this the music costumes and ESP the dancing really made this enjoyable for all whether you knew all of the songs or not. Plus the kids enjoyed a little dance at the seats while they laughed at us adults having a go! A great thing to do on snowy Sunday!

Was very disappointed with this show. I think we must have seen the show with all the understudies.. The music was very good however but the dancers could have been better coordinated.. All in all it would have been more palatable if we hadn't paid so much for the tickets as feel we got an amateur production on this occasion.

Average tribute show


Thriller didn't blow me away as i expected it to, especially considering the amazing atmosphere usually created by MJ's music. I thought the costumes could have had more thought put into them as this was something MJ himself was passionate about. In general the dancers were great but a couple of the female dancers looked like they had been made to go on the stage and lacked enthusiasm.


Kate


Thriller wasnt the best show I've seen but it was ok. Some of the dancers were a bit ropey but band was excellent and someof the singers were brilliant. The kids loved it


RR

Rock Your World


This show is fabulous, a must see for all. Uplifting and superbly performed.


Jackie

Enjoyable night out


The show was extremely enjoyable. Obviously the music was great. The singers did a fabulous job. It is not a show in the vein of Les Mis, or phantom, so anyone looking for that might be disappointed. However if you love Michaels music and you enjoy dance then you will enjoy this show. Some fantastic singers, some amazing dancers. Entertaining throughout the entire show, no boring bits. I did read some negative reviews before I went and was a little unsure but very glad I went. You know the old saying " you can please some of the people some of the time etc "


Caroline

nice show


was my second time, but Definetely a show that is worth it.

Not worthe the money


I thought the cast was very average, the best performer was the female singer who was about to leave. The dancing was not very good, not tight. The Show did get progressively better, but nothing worth what we paid for or expected. It was very tacky and cheap.

A fantastic tribute to an absolute legend! Actors were amazing just so much talent. Vocals so strong and the dancing superb. Took my partner for birthday celebration and would watch it all over again.

The whole show really brought the music of Micheal Jackson back to life. Sing and dancing in our seats brilliant audience participation and great fun for all. The talent of the cast members is outstanding.

Rosie

a very good show


i recommend this show to everyone because the songs are wonderful and the choreographys of the dancer are very good


manuela

Spectular


Ruth Drinkwater


This show seemed very low budget and reminiscent of a school play. The costumes, not unlike the "narrative", were unimaginative and everything about the show seemed like it was quickly hashed together to make a quick buck off the back of some excellent familiar songs. Might be good for teens but I'd avoid spending mobey on this unless you really really like MJ of lip syncing

Its the third time weve seen this show.Didnt rate Michael but seeing this show you realise how good his music was. The cast of this show are magnificant with the main singers being superb. Probably one of the best shows in London and weve seen 18 currently being shown


delwin

The best Show in London


The show was excellent the only down side was the seats we were sitting in had an obstructive view B6 & B7 and people sitting in row A were leaning forward so we couldn’t see the stage completely.

Thrilled by Michael


A very enjoyable rendition of MJ music which had us all on our feet clapping along.

If you are looking for a musical with a story line this is not the show for you. Put simply it is a nice sing-along-show for MJ fans.

EXCELLENT SHOW


THRILLER IS A VERY GOOD SHOW TO SEE.


JEFFREY

Thriller - not thrilling


On the whole we enjoyed the music and the memories they gave however the performances were very mismatched. The male dancers and singers were fab although the commentary was unecessary and quite nauseating. The female lead singer was excellent however the girl dancers were absolutely awful. To the point when even our young daughters were laughing at their complete lack of ability , enthusiasm. A couuple in particular just looked like they were strolling round the stage until something better came along. I cannot understand how they are still in the show when there are so many talented dancers out there just begging for work. The simple staging and lack of any change in this meant the focus was completely on the performers and so this emphasized the poorer performers even more. Having said that the 5 main Michael Jackson performers were excellent. I left disappointed that this could have been so , so much better though. What a missed opportunity

Mid level performed show. Expecting more from such a musical!


Mid level performed show. Expecting more from such a musical! Music, band and light show were great. Performer looks under avarage for a west end show...

The opening to the show was very disappointing, a bit sparse on actors, and there was some technical problems i think, but the 2nd half was great and we were all dancing at the end. I also had a very large tall man sit right in front of me which was annoying as i had to keep moving to get a view, opt for a tiered seat rather then stalls, iam only 5ft 6.


sharon

thriller - not quite so thrilling


the music was good, but the links were poor and there was no real story. I dont know what i was expecting but it was a little more than i got, Having said all that it was still entertaining as i love the songs


Jude

poor cast


5 Michael Jacksons in the show but only 3 of them had what it takes!


Verena

Thriller at the Lyric


Thriller at the Lyric was very good. The music speaks for itself but it was very well sung by the Company. There were one or two that shone more especially for me. Although I would recommend the show to anyone I would advise those who are sensitive to strobe lighting to be aware of this. The Lyric as a theatre is a little on the tired side. Stairs leading to the balcony is a little Victorian and the bar in the balcony area could do with a refurb.


Una

Brilliant, Energetic - Great voices and fantastic dancers!

Amazing!


The show was far better then I was expecting. The singers that sounded so much like MJ were incredible. So glad I got the opportunity to be in London to see the show.


JJ

Michael Jackson fans will not want to miss this 'feel good' tribute to his music


Maurizia

Very Dissappointing show


Show is not as good as other west end shows. I was very disappointed. The 2nd half of the show was better but i wouldn't go again. The dancing was quite provocative too especially with kids in the audience. We got cheap tickets thankfully as i would not pay full price

Well worth avisit


We were in the balcony and at times we could not see the actors when they were at the back of the stage on a raised platform. Choose more expensive seats if you can. More rigorous monitoring of mobile phone use by patrons is needed. I had to ask 2 wowmen to stop texting/facebooking. It was very distracting. Otherwise a fab vibrant show. We have used this website and would do so again.

Mrs p franklin

Thrilling


Great show. as a musician l thought the music was backing tracked. The band were excellent. It's a shame they aren't actually on stage. Vocals, dancing, all excellent. Would watch it again


David

Thrilled by Thriller


The music, choreography, dance, scenes, acting and lighting were all brilliant. The singing was amazing. I'm not a devout MJ fan, liked the music but have very little of it in my collection. However, I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this show. So for MJ fans, this would be a dream! We were on the first row of the balcony and had an excellent view of the stage, Superb!


Sandra

Disappointing


No real story to the show. A few mistakes and pitching issues with the male singers. Lighting was a bit too dark at points so it was hard to see what was happening on stage. A bit too much gyrating from the dancers at times. Some of the moves were a bit behind the music. Didn't think it was worth the money.


Sonya

suitably thrilled ....


Smallish but nice theatre. View from balcony was excellent . Great show well worth watching.

thrilled by thriller.


This was our wedding anniversary treat and my wife and I were really excited about the show, it was our first time and we thought it was fantastic, it was very good value for money, we paid around 60quid for 2 balcony tickets, but would advise to pay a few quid more for the dress circle these were the very good viewing seats, which we descended to after the show started and there were many empty seats.you can do this only of course after the show starts and there are vacant seats. the bar is adequete although mega expensive, £4.00 for a half of cider, but it's the west end I guess. we also had 2 for one on early cocktails in the PENTHOUSE, at no 1 Leicester Square, just 2 minutes on the same side as the Lyric theatre, amazing views from the balcony supping mojito's overlooking the west end life rushing by.go see this see , Im not into Jackson, but you could not help moving your feet.great night out and would go again to take our kids.

Amazing show, brilliant cast and really good fun!!!


Mel

Average Show of the greatest man in music history!


First half of the show was below average, was not too impressed at all. However the 2nd half was fantastic and worth the money alone. Finally some proper interpretation of Michael Jackson and his hits.

For Michael Jackson music fans this is really worth seeing. The performers sing his most popular numbers and the choreography is excellent. A real feel good musical which gets the feet tapping. Loved it!!

Fantastic evening, the theatre rocked!

A thriller night you will not forget!

The King of Pop


The quality of the singing and dancing was absolutely fanastic, no doubt as ever London West End has talent in abudance, you cannot help but enjoy this production particularly for the slightly older generation who were brought up dancing in the disco's to Michael Jackson classics.


Gary

We saw Thriller-Live


Overall, Thriller-Live was a good show, but I would not care to see it again, nor would I rush to tell people they 'must see it'. We were expecting ONE Michael Jackson impersonator (save for the young Michael) and got several. One was even Chinese--not to put down the Chinese at all--but he was far from a look-alike/sound alike. Sometimes, even a girl sang the songs which was disappointing. She was a great singer, performer, but we felt she simply shouldn't have been singing Michael's songs. The young man 'Blaise' was good, but often came in flat or monotone--not nearly the high expectations we had hoped for. The shoes throughout were nearly always trainers, which we simply didn't understand as to why. They were white and silly. The costumes seemed very low-budget--they looked more like they were picked up at a fancy dress shop. The dancing girls often wore costumes that were in no way Jackson-esque stage attire--they seemed a bit too much like cheerleaders. Smooth Criminal and Beat It were performed to high standards, costumes, music, dance and all! If for no other reason, those two songs would be what is well worth seeing the show for. Those two songs/performances were certainly the highlight and worth seeing. If only the other songs were done to the same standards! The backing band was good--the guitarist even came out on stage and did a good performance of Eddie Van Halen and then Slash. If I were to make changes to the show, I would continue with one Michael (plus the young Michael), get stronger costumes, not have a girl sing his songs, get rid of the narrator (this was annoying and unnecessary and also redundant when the screen in the background flashed record sales and such, of Michael's success. Michael is RECENT--most fans have not/will not quickly forget his success and it almost seemed demeaning to have to 'tell the audience'). The energy level was high and we have to hand it to the performers for seemingly giving it their all. It's a good show--but for anyone who thinks they're going to get a night of 'the best Michael Jackson impersonator in London/the world', they are sadly mistaken. It all was more of a tribute/pop idol type of show. It was good and entertaining, but by no means was it great. No one can compare to Michael--no one expects any performer to be able to--but we had hoped that ONE Michael impersonator could have come half-way. The young man that did Smooth Criminal and Beat It, was by far the best choice and his dancing abilities were great. Go see it, but don't get floor seats--it's not necessary to spend the price on great seats.

Watched the show before. Since then the format has changed but is as entertaining as ever. Music and singers are exceptional

Grandma, Granddad, Grandson and Grand daughter all felt it was a great show to finish a Great Day


Grandma, Granddad, Grandson and Grand daughter all felt it was a great show to finish a Great Day. In addition we had Grand Seats and the whole audience agreed with a Grand standing ovation lasting the last 15 minutes of the show. Thriller was just that. A real treat for all.
