THRILLER LIVE, a stunning theatrical concert that commemorates one of the world’s greatest ever entertainers, Michael Jackson, made a triumphant return at a packed The Parisian Theatre tonight.

Theatrical producer and THRILLER LIVE creator Adrian Grantsaid that he and his team were excited to be back after the great response the show received back in 2016.
“It’s wonderful the show was so successful here first time around, and that the love for Michael Jackson means we can come back to Macao. We are honoured to be able to perform at The Parisian Theatre again, this time with a show that focuses on Michael’s hits from 1983 onwards.
“The cast still perform the medley of Jackson 5 hits which is important as we tell the story of Michael’s career through his music. And while there are no song changes, we do have some new cast members, including singers and dancers, who I know the audiences will just love.”
