Original Creator
ADRIAN GRANT
THRILLER LIVE was originally conceived and created by Adrian Grant, a long-time associate of Michael Jackson, and author of Michael Jackson – The Visual Documentary. Adrian’s association with Michael Jackson spanned over 20 years, and in that time he enjoyed seeing the megastar entertain millions of people all over the world.
In 1988, Adrian launched the world’s first Michael Jackson fanzine, Off the Wall. Within two years it had a circulation of 25,000 and was being read in over 47 countries around the world. In March 1990, Michael invited Adrian to Neverland Valley, and he became the first ever person to write a feature story about his wonderful retreat.
In 2001, Michael Jackson personally attended the Tenth Annual Michael Jackson Tribute – a show Adrian had been producing since 1991. Michael described the show as “Beautiful and incredible!” In 2006 Adrian developed the show further and created THRILLER LIVE which first previewed at the Dominion Theatre. THRILLER LIVE is not a tribute show, but a spectacular musical created to celebrate the musical career of Michael Jackson.
Later that year, Adrian teamed the THRILLER LIVE dancers up with American RnB star, Chris Brown, to perform before Michael Jackson and a TV audience of almost one billion at The World Music Awards, celebrating the record-breaking album, Thriller and Jackson receiving the Diamond Award.
The following year Adrian joined up with Flying Music to produce Thriller Live as a touring show, enjoying success and rave reviews across the UK and Europe. Michael Jackson provides the inspiration, creativity and music that make THRILLER LIVE.

International Media Quotes
“This theatrical extravaganza is a breathtaking celebration – QUITE LITERALLY, THRILLING”, The Stage
“One of the most moving, memorable and thrilling theatre experiences”, Curtainup
“You don’t get 2000 shows on Shaftesbury Avenue without giving the public what it wants: and, as I looked around at an audience that exemplified MJ’s “Black or White”, it’s clear that Thriller Live gives the public exactly what it wants. Don’t be surprised to read a review of the 3000th show sometime in 2016.”, Broadwayworld
