The Moonwalking is not going to stop any time soon...!

And on Wednesday September 12, Thriller Live will celebrate its 4000th West End performance at the Lyric Theatre with a special gala show.
Thriller Live now holds the record as the sixth longest running musical currently playing in the West End.
It also recently became the 14th longest running musical in West End history.
The Thriller Live World Tour continues with dates across the UK, Germany, Poland, Kuwait and Dubai through to summer 2019.
Next month Thriller Live will welcome several new cast members:

Thriller Live is unlike other West End musicals. There is no script or story, it is instead a eye-popping celebration of Michael Jackson’s music and dance legacy, bringing to life on stage his distinctive high-energy dancing and the pulsating sound of many of pop’s greatest hits. The show changes each year with new numbers added, and features specially created video footage and effects and dazzling choreography by the show’s award-winning director, Gary Lloyd.
Thriller Live first Moonwalked into the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in January 2009. It holds the record as the longest ever run of a show since the theatre started entertaining the capital in December 1888.
Thriller Live has now been seen by over 4.5 milion people in 33 countries and played over 6,100 performances worldwide, never failing to get a standing ovation!
