Flash Entertainment will present 'Thriller Live', a spectacular two-hour non-stop show paying homage to the undisputed King of Pop, the late Michael Jackson, for a limited season in Abu Dhabi this summer.

Currently in its third sell out year in London’s West End, 'Thriller Live' brings to life the sensational dancing and distinctive sound of Michael and The Jackson 5.

This globally-acclaimed production celebrates the career of Michael Jackson, one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever seen and who, across four decades, sold an unparalleled 750 million records worldwide, with the Thriller album still the world’s best-selling recording of all time.

Even after his death, Jackson’s music continues to sell in its millions, said Flash Entertainment in a statement.

Michael Jackson fans across the UAE will be thrilled to hear all of his smash hits as an exceptionally talented cast perform songs such as: I Want You Back, ABC, Can You Feel It, Off The Wall, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Billie Jean, Dirty Diana, They Don’t Care About Us and Thriller.

Award-winning director/choreographer Gary Lloyd’s musical moon-walked into the West End after three acclaimed UK tours and standing ovations across Europe.

Lloyd’s long-list of credits include working with Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Victoria Beckham and Girls Aloud and Fame the musical.

Held at the Flash Forum from June 9 to 10, Flash Entertainment spokesperson, Shatha Al Romaithi, said it is a fantastic high energy and visual show with incredible choreography and set design.

"International reviewers have called this show “quite literally thrilling” (The Stage), “a total blast” (What’s On Stage) and “a great tonic in these gloomy days” (The Evening Standard)."

Tickets for Thriller Live, priced at Dh100, Dh195 and Dh250, go on sale from Wednesday and will be available at www.thinkflash.ae and 800 (FLASH) (35274). The show starts at 8pm.

From Jackson’s early years as a teen sensation belting out the classic ABC with his brothers and sisters, to his breakthrough solo album Off the Wall and beyond, six different singers deliver all of Michael’s greatest hits, said Al Romaithi.

“This show has captured audiences around the world, with its talented energetic cast recreating Michael’s amazing entertainment qualities and we are delighted to bring this incredible musical experience to Abu Dhabi to pay tribute to Michael Jackson.”

“It is the first time this musical has been to Abu Dhabi and we are looking forward to fans embracing this concert-like event and remembering the times when Michael’s music touched all our lives,” she remarked.-TradeArabia News Service
