Our Review:
22 January 2009
It’s not a show, or a musical, it’s a concert. But as a concert it’s very good theatre, a total blast in fact, and a salutary reminder that Michael Jackson’s music is an important segment in the sequence from blues, jazz and Motown to rap and disco. It’s the history of modern pop music, and it’s the music the modern musical theatre forgot about.
Thriller Live comes with an almost repulsive set of recommendations in the programme from its own producers – “ a wonderful man who has inspired me,” that sort of horse manure – and of course there is no mention of Jackson’s facelifts, weird obsession with Elizabeth Taylor, nor his strange home-based kindergarten that led to a series of court cases.
But the man’s talent is the point, and there’s not a song that you don’t want to bask in as they roll off the stage in this wonderful show, covering all the great Jackson albums ...

Rachel - 22 October 2012:
I bought tickets to see this show for my husband as we had bought tickets to see MJ at the O2 before he died - I really wish I hadn't spent the money! The singers were good (as in they had good voices) but aside from that....awful! Horrific fake American accents were put on by most of the 'actors' (I say 'actors' because there is actually no story to act to) Where at some points their clear cockney accents came through? I don't understand the costumes at all, they neither related to the words of the songs nor the era they were produced in it was all very confusing and a bit pointless. My husband is an ultimate Michael Jackson fan, I was putting on a brave face for him but at the interval he asked me if we could leave so it's not just because I'm not a fan myself it was just a miserable experience for quite frankly a lot of money. The staging was awful and again, made absolutely no sense to either Michael Jackson, his songs or the era but to be fair it did cause a welcome distraction to look at that rather than watching and listening to the bad American accents, confusing costumes and weird dancing. All in all, if you live near London and it doesn't cost too much to get there and you can get a show ticket for less than a fiver then by all means go, if you need to spend more than £20 each getting there and seeing the show - don't bother...
