Photo Irina Chira Thriller Live continues to entertain people worldwide and producers have announced that the show will now extend its run in London's West End, will undertake a new UK tour in 2017 and has just opened a new resort in China. Thriller Live first opened in London's West End in January 2009, just before the untimely death of Michael Jackson, and is now currently the 10th Longest running show - musical or play - in West End history. It also now holds the record as the longest running show at the Lyric Theatre since the theatre opened in 1888. Producers have announced that Thriller has just extended its run until October 2017 and tickets are now on sale. The show's producers have also announced that Thriller Live will undertake a major UK and European tour in 2017. Dates will be posted on our Thriller Tour page.

On Friday 30 September, Thriller Live opened in the People's Republic Of China in the new 1200 seat Parisian Theatre at the Sands Parisian Macao Hotel in Macao, where it will play for seven weeks.

Thriller Live is unlike other West End musicals. There is no script or story, it is instead a eye-popping spectacular concert celebration of Michael Jackson’s music and dance legacy, bringing to life on stage his amazing high-energy dancing and the pulsating sound of many of pop’s greatest hits, and features specially created video footage and effects and dazzling choreography by the show’s award-winning director, Gary Lloyd.
