Global casts of Thriller Live! have released a music video of 'I'll Be There' in support of Black Lives Matter.
"As a show founded on the talents of black musicians, it is our responsibility to take a stand against the racism happening before our very eyes," the show said in a press release. "We, at 'Thriller Live' all stand together in the face of global racism and in support of the #blacklivesmatter movement. As a family of multiple races, beliefs and sexualities, we are bound together by one love, the love of the human race and the ongoing quest for equality for all."
Thriller Live' director/choreographer Gary Lloyd said: "This company continues to astound me with their continued compassion, composure and intellect. This film is made up of the minds and voices of generations of Thriller Live alumni from around the world, all of them my beautiful and talented multicoloured family."
