Thriller Live - A Celebration of Michael Jackson
Thriller Live is a concert celebration lasting 2 and a half hours and features the music of The Jackson 5 and the groundbreaking solo work of Michael Jackson.
It has performed live in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia before opening at the Lyric Theatre in London on January 2, 2009.
The show's concept was created by long time Jackson family friend and author, Adrian Grant.
Thriller Live previewed in the United Kingdom on August 2006 at the Dominion Theatre.
Adrian Grant spoke of how and why he came up with the show's concept and the future prospect of taking it to the West End.
Adrian Grant started the Jackson British fan club in 1988 and after Michael Jackson invited him to Los Angeles while he recorded his hit, Dangerous.
The fan club quickly grew to over 25,000 subscribed members and led to an annual Michael Jackson tribute show from 1991.
The 10th anniversary of the show was attended by Michael Jackson himself and a single tribute show attracted upwards of 3,000 people.
Show creator Adrian Grant also wrote 3 books on the Jackson family including Michael Jackson- The Visual Documentary which was endorsed by the singer himself.
Although Michael Jackson was never actually involved in Thriller Live, he was a fan of the show and wished Adrian Grant good luck with the production.
Thriller Live is still being shown in the United Kingdom at the Dominion Theatre.
The Dominion Theatre was built in 1928 and designed by W.
and T.
R.
Miburn out of a steel frame construction and a concave stone façade.
It was built as a theatre to show live performances but after business stalled in the early 1930's the theatre was converted to also show films.
It was erected on the location of the former Horse and Shoe Brewery which was also the site for the 1814 London Beer Flood.
The Dominion Theatre has a very large seating capacity holding as many as 2,858 in 1940 and thrived in its perfect location where the Charing Cross Road, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Toad met, drawing in huge crowds for both its live performances and film showings.
In October of 1940, the cinema portion of the theatre briefly closed at the height of the Blitz but was quickly and permanently re-opened on January 12, 1941.
After the war the theatre continued with its partnership with the New Victoria and almost always played with the Gaumont circuit programme for a pre-release week before it went to the Northwest London area to commence its suburban run.
The theatre continues to show quality performances and is currently still showing the Michael Jackson tribute show Thriller Live to sold out audiences, so get your Thriller Live tickets as soon as possible.
