CRUISE SHIP ENTERTAINMENT

What can I say?? Gosh totally dissapointed. If your expecting a blonde bird , a few other average joe's playing M.J and singing like they should be on the local cruise ship then this is your thing! The only good thing is the young boy playing M.J in jackson 5 and the guy who can dance at the end but had another singing for him was the only reason why stayed for 2.5 hours. Not to mention the worst seats totally restricted view and not stated when booking tickets. overall 2 stars and that generous! Sorry.

VERY DISAPPOINTED

What a disappointment. I took my family and friend to the West End (after paying £165) hoping for something spectacular. Basically its people singing and dancing to MJ songs with the cheesiest compare you're likely to come across. Some dancers looked like they couldn't be bothered and regularly went wrong. Things livened up abit when Smooth Criminal came on but it was obvious he wasn't even singing. Stage set was rubbish as was the lighting. It maybe called 'Thriller' but don't even expect the version with ghosts and ghouls. Dancers in street wear going wrong is what you will get. i have to say there was a couple of good singers and dancers but i saw people just as talented performing on the London streets during the day. I can't see it will last long and the ticket prices for a West End show is just wrong considering what you get. I have seen many shows in the past and unfortunately this is towards the bottom of the pile. I just didn't get it?

PLEASE DON'T CALL IT A WEST END SHOW

I booked for 10 of us to see the show...I wanted my family to see a west end show.I have seen a few like We will rock you(queen songs) Mamma mia(abba songs)and more. This was there first west end show for them.I could not believe it when the show started and the cast just song micheal jackson songs one after the other.I felt like i wasn't seeing a west end show but was on a mowtown night.I thought it would be the songs along with the cast talking & acting out how the jacksons started all the way up.I was so disappointed it wasn't what i expected at all. I love micheal jackson songs but sit through song after song was a huge let down..The second half was bettter and the dancing and singing was really good.But please do not call this a show becauce it isn't ..Please make this clear when advertising...I would not want to listen to abba or queen songs all night but it works in the shows..I will make sure next time i am seeing a show when booking for the family...

THRILLER KILLER

Expensive seats for a cheap show with absolutely no story. Probably because the real Michael Jackson story would not have been sanctioned by the rights holders of the songs. Half the cast wouldn't have got past a Vegas audition on looks alone. The set was about as basic as you could get away with - steps each side to a gantry and some video screens, which unlike Ghost did nothing amazing. We saw the band occasionally but I would have liked to have seen them all the time. Lighting only really came to life in the Thriller number. Cramped seats built for small Victorians didn't help. The audience chatted most of the time, clearly not exactly grabbed by the lack of spectacle. Of course, no stage show can compete with the fabulous videos or Jackson himself, if you ever saw him live. However if you just want a song and dance karaoke show of MJ songs you won't be disappointed. Mama Mia, The Jersey Boys, Rock of Ages or Phantom it isn't, there is absolutely no story or even wow effects.

WASTE OF TIME AND WASTE OF MONEY

The shows was the horrble one i have every been to. the singers were not very good and the dancers was really not putting any effect into the show. i was very dispoint and went out looking forward to seeing a good show. i would not say to anyone go and see it. there alot more better shoews out there and would spend my money on something eles.

THRILLER? I DON'T THINK SO

Like millions of people I love Michael Jackson's music. Thriller the musical should have been a tribute to the most amazing pop star of our generation. Instead the singing was appalling. One member of the cast (he sang the opening song) in particular was dreadful - totally out of pitch and even occasionally seemed to forget his words. At times he lacked energy and seemed bored. As a regular theatre goer, this was honestly the worst production I have ever seen. Members of the cast who spoke between songs spoke with out confidence and conviction. Considering how much it cost to attend I really don't understand why the production team doing invest some more money into the show in order to raise the standard and give the audience as well as Michael Jackson, a production that can really be considered a great tribute to a great man.
