As it continues its record-breaking 6th year in the West End, a brand new production of THRILLER LIVE is to visit only four regional UK theatres including Wolverhampton Grand Theatre (11 - 15 November) before jetting off to Australia and New Zealand into 2015. THRILLER LIVE has now performed to nightly standing ovations in 28 countries.

The West End production of THRILLER LIVE is now the longest-running production in the Lyric Theatre's 125-year history. It first moonwalked into the West End in January 2009 after three acclaimed UK tours.

Recently, THRILLER LIVE has entered the record books to officially become the 20th longest running musical in West End history. The production overtook the records set by the legendary stage musicals The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady, which are no longer included in the top 20.

THRILLER LIVE is a constantly evolving music concert celebration. When Michael Jackson died, the Lyric Theatre became a focus for fans from all over the world, who created a massive shrine of flowers, candles, and tributes. More than 40 books of condolence were signed in the foyer then sent to the Jackson family. A year after his death, a permanent West End memorial to Michael was unveiled in the theatre foyer.

THRILLER LIVE brings to life on stage the distinctive high-energy dancing and pulsating sound of many of pop's greatest hits, blending eye- popping video footage and effects together with dazzling choreography by the show's award-winning director Gary Lloyd.

The show was originally conceived and created by Adrian Grant, a long time associate of Michael Jackson, and author of Michael Jackson - The Visual Documentary. It is produced by Paul Walden and Derek Nicol for Flying Music in association with Adrian Grant for Key Concerts.
