nope, I was good. But I did almost get thrown out when I put the llama on the stage and took it's photo before the show started. The ushers are eagle eyed, and were really on people who tried to take photos even when the show wasn't on. I wish the programme listed who sang what, because I can't remember all the songs MiG was in. His main solos were "She's Out of My Life" "Bad" "Dirty Diana" and I think "Beat it". He was in a lot of other numbers, also, where there were several singers sharing the song. There were 4 lead singers, and the singer/dancers, and the dancers. Of course, the little guy who does Michael as a boy is adorable.

OK, I think I can give a recap, although not very detailed, I"m afraid. I need to see it about 5 or 6 times to be able to remember the details. The show starts of with an introduction and then goes into the Jackson Five era. They do a lot of the early hits when Michael was a little boy. Then they go into the Disco era, gotta love those afros and wildly patterned bell bottoms! I never had realized that She's Out of My Life was from that decade...and let me tell you, MiG will bring on your tears with his rendition of that song. After the intermission, you get going from the Jackson Five on towards the MJ era. Of course, they incorporate dance that is based on MJ's videos, and I can vouch for MiG's dancing abilities! Naturally they do a Thriller, complete with zombies on stage as well as surprising audience members with zombies sneaking through the theater. There are several places where they bring the audience into participation to make it fun. It's a great show, and I really do hope they decide to bring it to the U S, especially with MiG in it. *forgot to include song list* Act 1 Thriller overture Jam Music and Me ABC The Love You Save I Want You Back I'll Be There Show You the Way This Place Hotel Another Part of Me Shake Your Body Down Blame it on the Boogie She's Our of My Life Off the Wall Get on the Floor Rock With You Never Can Say Goodby Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough Can You Feel It Act 2 Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Working Day and Night Dancing Machine PYT Beat It The Way You Make Me Feel I Just Can't Stop Loving You Smooth Criminal Dirty Diana Dangerous Man in the Mirror They Don't Care About Us Heal the World They Don't Care About Us (instrumental) Billie Jean Thriller Bad Black or White Smooth Criminal Thriller Reprise

If only they would tour the U S....with MiG in tow, of course, but even so, it is a very good show.

Yes, thank you for the recap of the show, Toni! It certainly would be cool to see MiG tour in Thriller Live in the U.S. There would be a lot of people across the country ready and willing to buy tickets to see him on stage! It's nice our friends in the U.K. and the Philippines get to see him in Thriller and ROA in the next few months too.

He is a trouper, for sure. I hope he doesn't ruin his voice for his last week before leaving for Manila. At least he has all Monday to recover!

Tonight is MiG's last show of THRILLER Live in London. It's been a great run! Such awesome music to sing in a concert atmosphere.
Poor MiG, he's in London, nothing to do after the last show, except....TAKE IN THE OLYMPICS! What an amazing opportunity!
