Apparently Janet is at the premier of something

Not sure what, Davina told Latoya tonight on BB
 
I went to see the show last summer in Hull...bought a ticket very last minute (about half an hour before it started!) and went in not expecting much, but i thought it was brilliant! The singing and dancing was fantastic, and even though there was a tough crowd i thought it had a really great atmosphere. Would consider seeing it again, but it is very expensive to see in London - £15 more than it cost me for front row seats when i saw it!
 
i would agree about the ticket prices they are expensive but I suppose that is the normal price for a west end show.

I don't think it's that expensive. I would love to go.
 
^^exactly it is not expensive, compared to other musicals it is almost cheap. and the programme takes a long time. other shows have their time limited, but the staff from Thriller gives you more.
I think the girl who sings the way you make me feel is brilliant. she can sing and dance and her physical expresssion is so similar to Janet
 
Has anyone been to see it in the West End yet? Are the performers as good as before? Just brought front row seats in Cardiff.
 
just bought my seats for Edinburgh 7th march and london 28th march :D , 28th march will be the 5th ive seen it, cant wait !!!
 
I seen it and I loved it. I also loved Linda Parsons she used to be in 5 Star i was a fan of them back in the day they always reminded me of the Jacksons. Everybody does a great job and its great that the public get to see it too. I had a guy beside me who was very annoying but when Billie Jean came on he changed his tune he turned around to me and said he only came to see that bit lol

Well I've been thinking of going to see it in July when I am in London. Since we won't be seeing MJ at a hotel, and I am not planning on sitting in my hotel room all day alone all bored I've been thinking of going to see a musical. Thriller Live maybe...or maybe some other good one. I wish they'd still have Mary Poppins though. Or Annie. I saw Annie two years ago in Canada and it was amazing!! I LOVED it and I'd definately go watch it again. Or maybe I'll go see Oliver! :lol: That one should be good too. Or maybe Grease or Mamma Mia. I don't know. I have to wait and see.
 
^ As much as I love the film grease the musical was Poo :mello: I loved mamma Mia but My fave is The sound of music LOVE IT! :wub:



Good idea to go see Thriller live when you come here though.
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! SOUND OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! If they had that I'd go see that in an INSTANT!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the movie and I LOOOOOVE the music!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

How many have been to see the west end musical yet Thriller live, its brilliant some great performers, esp Denise pearson who has had really positive reviews as lead female role in the show, Michaels a fan also, wonder if he has been to see it himself yet.
"Perhaps the greatest discovery of the evening is Denise Pearson, who marries a sassy, shapely stage persona to some of Jackson’s best loved tracks, producing something as exquisite as her rendition of The Way You Make Me Feel."
The Stage.
"The best thing about the show is Denise Prearson, formerly of the now defunct group Five Star, who sounds more like Jackson than the lot of them and who has got her "nuh-uhs" and "yeh, yehs" down to a zealous fine art"
Daily Express.
"Denise Pearson, formerly of 80s pop outfit 5 Star, ("the British Jackson 5") delivers a sassy rendition of The Way You Make Me Feel and makes it her own."
The Guardian.
"Denise Pearson, of Five Star fame, practically ravishes ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’, injecting a feline sexiness into it"
Time out London
"Superbly supported by the absolutely wonderful Denise Pearson – lead vocalist of Five Star; who the hell were they? – who seems to morph into Michael in her soprano moments"
Whats on stage.
"Denise Pearson was outstanding - and at times could have been mistaken for sister Janet Jackson!!!"
Locals night out.
"Of these performances Pearson’s (a former member of Five Star, the UK version of Jackson 5) is the closest to him, bringing a precision and focus to both the vocal pieces and dance numbers which has some of the star quality of Jackson himself. She is the only adult who combines both the impressive talent for dancing and singing that he excelled at."
Public review.
"Denise Pearson, former frontwoman of pop clan Five Star (aka 'Essex's answer th the Jackson'), makes a radiantly classy comeback, including her smouldering rendition of The Way You Make Me Feel".
Metrolife.
"Denise Pearson - From Bristish group Five star, She has a sassy stage presence and her first number "I'll Be There" is sung with supreme confidence".
Curtainup.
"Denise Pearson, decked out in an all-white ensemble and looking more than just a little like the man himself – well, it’s true – sings flawlessly throughout, dazzling us early on with a stand-out performance of ‘Blame it on the Boogie’. Her minxy rendition of ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ is also impressive as she cavorts on stage with some fit men half her age while dressed in a shimmery little black number. You gotta love it".
"Denise Pearson as the soul mamma of Motown"
The Independent
"Diva MJ, the fantastic ex-Five Star member Denise Pearson, the only one of the bunch who sounded just like him, looked like she could have been his sister, and had mastered the MJ gasps".
Camden New Journal.
"Thriller Live. The general consensus is that Denise Pearson is the best performer in the show".
