Thriller Live - Milton Keynes Theatre
4th - 9th July 2016

Direct from London's West End and now in its 8th year, Thriller Live has been seen by over 3.5 million people in 30 Countries.

Thriller Live is not a musical and it doesn't profess to be one.  Instead it is a wonderful celebration of the music by the King of Pop, the one and only Michael Jackson.

Jackson has an amazing and dazzling back catalogue of music to choose from, this show is two hours long and it's wall to wall hits - all of the best known songs are in this, including I want You Back, ABC, Can You Feel It, Off the Wall, Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Billy Jean...the list is endless. 

But of course there is Thriller! (and wow was that good!)

The show doesn't have a story, it doesn't need one.  It has a little narrative that strings the songs together nicely.  It tells the story of the birth and successes of the Jackson 5 and of course, the legend, Michael Jackson. 

There is an exceptionally talented cast and live band, the atmosphere inside the Milton Keynes Theatre was electric.  The performances were high octane from the start and didn't falter.

The choreography by Gary Lloyd is a massive part of Thriller Live, it is inventive, exhilarating and makes you feel exhausted just watching! 

The vocals from Ione Townsend, Tyrone Lee, Shaquille Hemmans and Adam J Bernard who sing the leads, were powerful and faultless.

However, for me, it was Sean Christopher that stole the show, his performance was breathtaking - Christopher is such a talent.

It was inevitable when the audience erupted when he performed the iconic "moonwalk".

If you are a Michael Jackson fan you will love this show, I guarantee you will be itching to get up and dance and it didn't take the MK Theatre audience long to do just that!

As the final curtain fell, a fellow audience member summed up exactly how I felt..."I could sit through that all over again, it was just brilliant"

Don't stop 'til you get enough...Enjoy!
