THRILLER LIVE Denies Daily Mail's 'Closing' Story

A spokesman for Thriller - Live has denied the Daily Mail's story that the Michael Jackson-inspired show is to close in the West End.

Baz Bamigboye reported today that it would be replaced in June by the family show We're Going On A Bear Hunt.

However, the spokesman told BWW:UK today that there was "absolutely no truth whatsoever in the story".

Although We're Going On A Bear Hunt will be running at the Lyric Theatre over the summer, it will be running during the daytime as a bonus over the summer holidays.

The spokesman also revealed that Thriller - Live will be announcing a new booking period imminently.

Thriller Live, a spectacular concert show that celebrates the music of the world's greatest entertainer and undisputed King of Pop, Michael and the Jackson 5, moonwalked into the West End in January 2009 after three acclaimed UK tours. It is currently booking at the Lyric Theatre to Sunday September 15, 2013. Several world tours have seen the show play to acclaim in 32 countries, including Germany, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Singapore, South Africa, China, Sweden, Finland and Norway.
