THRILLER
From sweet voiced prodigy with the Jackson Five to self-styled King of Pop superstardom. He may have seemed weird, but he was unarguably wonderful. Even if you believe just a fraction of what’s been written about him, there’s little doubt that Michael Jackson was truly unique. He sold more records than any living performer and roused a generation with his stunning videos and best-selling albums.
Now the legends lives on and the musical Thriller is coming to Melbourne. Thriller Live enters records books as the 20th longest running musical in West End history. Thriller has played over 3000 shows globally, seen by 3 million people and toured to over 28 countries.
Thriller Live is over two hours of non-stop hits from pop to rock, soul to disco in a show that pays homage to Michael Jackson’s legendary live performances and the magic of his 45-year musical history. Thriller Live features stunning choreography and Michael’s innovative dance moves executed with flair, precision and passion in a show that fans will never forget.
Two of the stars on this tour will be Australian’s MiG Ayesa and Prinnie Stevens who have just performed the roles in the West End, London. MiG Ayesa has a huge list of achievements as a stage and concert performer here in Australia and around the world. He finished third in the global hit TV show Rock Star:INXS, and released his self-titled debut album, ‘MiG’, through Decca/Universal. He went on to star in many West End musicals including We Will Rock You, Rent, and in Thriller Live and his Broadway credits include Burn the Floor and Rock of Ages. Back in Australia, he played in Grease, Cinderella, and in West Side Story, and toured Australia and Asia with The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Thriller Live combines high-energy choreography and dancing, eye-popping video footage and a myriad of effects. Plus dazzling costumes, sequins and hot pants, not to mention that signature white suit and glove.
Thriller Live was originally conceived and created by Adrian Grant, a long-time associate of Michael Jackson, and author of Michael Jackson – The Visual Documentary.
