Thriller Live!

Tonight I went to see Thriller Live! I would probably classify it as one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. As soon as I returned home (after skyping my parents of course) I youtubed MJ and and watched as many videos of him as I could.

So before the show even started I could tell it was going to be a good night because as I was waiting for the theatre door to open as man with crazy hair wearing a sparkly silver suit started talking to me. The conversation went a little something like this...

Him: "Ever seen the show before?"
Me: "Nope. Have you?"
Him: "Nope. Where are you from?"
Me: "The United States. Wisconsin."
Him: "Ah, are you on holiday?"
Me: "I'm studying here for a couple of months."
Him: "Wonderful. Do you like it?"
Me: "I love it! It's quite a bite different than Wisconsin though!"
Him: "Yes, I can imagine."

As he walked away, I realized I had just had a real live conversation with...ROD STEWART! It was crazy!
Anyway, after my excitement settled down and I was able to regain my composure, I found my way to my seat and prepared for the next two hours of MJ. The show started off with a little Michael singing songs from the Jackson 5 days. He continually grew up (the singers changed) and it was fun to see how his music changed through the years.

There were 3 men who sang and 1 girl. They were all incredible especially this one guy named Alex Buchanen. He sounded exactly like Michael and it gave me the shivers. They sang so many songs including Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, Black and White, Bad, Smooth Criminal (my personal fave), and of course Thriller! The dancing was amazing and I had a blast. It was really fun because they encouraged audience participation so the crowd was singing and dancing along.

I would highly recommend this show to any MJ lovers out there. I would for sure see it again! Like Michael said...."If you wanna make the world a better place take a look in the mirror and make a change."
