Thriller Live celebrates the early rise to fame and the musical legacy of Michael Jackson. The theatrical concert provides a through the years insight into Michael's infectious pop, rock and disco hits that inspired the world and this week played its 2,000th West End performance.

Whether you are an avid MJ fan or appreciative of his musical and theatrical talent, Thriller Live is a show for people of all ages and backgrounds. The production is an astounding tribute to all the success that Michael celebrated during his vast-spanning career and that we continue to appreciate today. 

Eshan Gopal stars as the young Michael and captures the raw talent of the pop-icon in his early years, spent with his four brothers in the Jackson Five. Eshan's performance wowed the audience with his angelic vocals and unmistakable dance skills, including the iconic moon-walk. 

David Jordan rules the show as the adult Michael, with his powerful mirror-image dance moves. Zoe Birkett takes the lead for several numbers, gracing the audience with her breathtaking vocal range and strong stage presence. Thriller Live is an all-singing all-dancing treat for the whole family, which has the audience out of their seats dancing along to MJ's staggering mix of pop, rock and disco hits.
