Thriller Live

Michael Jackson will be turning in his grave. Butlins could have done a better job- this is just a tribute band on stage and says nothing about his life.

Utter rubbish.

This was the most dismal and depressing musical i have ever seen. The fact that i paid money to take my boyfriend to this upsets me.

- The choreography was bland and utterly unimpressive.

- The singing was karaoke at best; out-of-tune and cringe-worthy at it's worst.

- The sparse theatrical elements were immensely cheesy, not to mention the abysmal attempts at American accents.

- The costumes looked like they were from Poundland.

I would not recommend any one to go to this, we left before the interval as it was too painfully bad.

I was lucky to visit Thriller Live in the Lyric Theatre more than a month ago, but the impressions are still very vivid in my mind. The show was performed by a team of very skillful, highly professional singers, dancers and artists, who invested their whole soul into the project.

The structure of the show was very uncreative and uninspiring. There was no clever narrative or interesting scene changes. It basically felt like a mediocre tribute band...definitely below what I would expect of a London show. There were 5 different people who were the lead singers. Their skills (MJ-imitation abilities) ranged from mediocre to very good. I don't know why they just didn't give the whole show to the guy who was really good. It felt like a high school production where the teacher is afraid of hurting the students' feelings so everyone gets to take turns playing the lead role.

The back-up dancers and the choreogaphy (and sometimes lack thereof) were surprisingly unpolished. That's too bad as sharp background dancers could potentially have distracted me from the mediocre-ness of everything else.

I give this show 2 stars instead of 1 because the show livens up despite itself during the last third of the show.

Such a horrible waste of time! Cheesy dance performances! Cheesy costumes! Cheesy narrative! Cheesy MJ wannabe's! This is like a over-enthusiastic high school production! Horrible!!!!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY I went on the 6th march 2011 some good singers a girl took the lead role no story about his life just utter rubbish a tribute band at best.

Saw the show a few years ago and this new format is more entertaining. Where, or where, did they get the dancers from though. There was a girl with long blonde hair attempting to join in with the routines and her performance can only be described as laughable. They really do need to recruit a new troupe with a little more panache.

Amazing. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone. There was a massive age range in the audience, couples as old as your grandparents all the way down to young children all bopping along to these hits.

Could not get into this show at all, very disapointing. Apart from the boy who took the role of the younger version of Michael Jackson I thought the singers were not up to scratch. Altogether a very boring show, I couldn't bring myself to sit through the second half.

An absolutely fantastic night out. The Thriller Live cast are fantastic, with some really accurate portrayals, and others just celebrating the music. High energy, fantastic dance routines, the production of the piece is superb. The cast know how to work the crowd and get everyone involved, a superb night out if you can get tickets!
