From their own website: Now in its record breaking 10th year, THRILLER LIVE is a spectacular concert created to celebrate the career of the world’s greatest entertainer. thrillerlive.com/west-end/about/synopsis/---- That to me makes it clear that it is not a musical. When the producers call it a concert, so should everyone else. |

It's not a musical.
What it is is a waste of space, or at best a tribute act concert.

Musical? What a joke.
This show survives cause it's a tourist trap. Ugh.

I enjoyed it as a 'concert experience', but in no way does it deserve to be classed as a musical. In the words of Michelle Visage, ".....No."

It’s a story told a million times on here, but it was all set to close in July 2009 (when Michael Jackson was due to start his mammoth O2 run) but it was kept open when he died unexpectedly. It’s kept running ever since. I guess you’ve got Dr Conrad Murray to blame them?
It gets the tourists in because there’s no dialogue.

It was anyway, but theatre goers should also have testified in his trial. |

Very popular with tour bookers for people who English isn't there first language, as there is no dialogue, some good effects if you don't go to the theatre.
This will run and run, because production costs are so low and I guess this could still downsize if needed to.
I give the show a bit of credit, it has the best eyecatching marquee display in London.
