Thriller Live! London Tickets Thriller Live! is holding open call auditions in New York this weekend as the production seeks replacements for both the West End cast and the World Tour. Auditions are held approximately every 12 months to find a young male performer to depict Michael in the Jackson 5 and also for older male and female singers for the principle roles. The first UK tour pre-dated the West End, playing dates between May and June in 2007. It featured Shaheen Jafargholi as the young Michael, whilst the adult singers included Pop Idol star Zoe Birkett and Australian vocalist Mig Ayesa.

Celebrating the King of Pop

Thriller Live! opened at the Lyric Theatre in January 2009, initially for a limited four month run, but has been extended several times following fantastic audience feedback and consistently high demand for tickets. The production took on extra significance following Michael’s death in June 2009 when interest in his music reached even greater heights and attracted new fans both young and old. A spin-off arena tour was launched at the end of that year and has grown to become one of the hottest shows on the road. It regularly completes dates outside the UK and will be bigger than ever in 2012.

Now Booking into January

In a career spanning 40 years, Michael Jackson sold an unparalleled 750 million records worldwide with the Thriller album still the world’s best-selling recording of all time. Thriller Live! includes over two-hours of non-stop hits, including: I Want You Back, I’ll BeThere, Show You The Way To Go, Can You Feel It, Rock With You, She’s Out Of My Life, Beat It, Billie Jean, Earth Song and Thriller plus many more. The show is currently booking at the West End’s Lyric Theatre until Sunday 22nd January 2012. Read more about the Thriller Live! auditions on BroadwayWorld.com here.
