Wanna Be Startin Something
All the way from West End London, the popular Thriller Live cast and crew will be in Kuala Lumpur bringing Michael Jackson’s unforgettable and thrilling tunes to us from the 19 – 25 March 2015. They are more than ready to take centre stage at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil. Presented by Milestone Productions, the full West End Production will showcase several celebrities such as MIG Ayesa and Prinnie Stevens to perform with other lead casts Sean Christopher, Alex Buchanan, Samantha Johnson and J Rome.
Fans of the ‘King Of Pop’ will not want to miss this rare opportunity to catch this musical celebration live and experience the transcendent power of MJ’s work– starting from his early years in Jackson 5 right through his glorious last few years as a dynamic, extraordinary performer. Created by Michael Jackson’s good friend Adrian Grant, Thriller Live is not a tribute or impersonation show but is a vibrant and high-energy musical celebration to celebrate Michael’s music, life and persona. Fans will be immersed into the world of Michael Jackson with spectacular dance move and incredible voices. Ultra-energetic dance choreography and indisputable showmanship, Thriller Live easily rose to be one of the “must see” musicals of all time.
We sat down with Prinnie Stevens, one of the lead vocalists and cast members of Thriller Live! at Palace of the Golden Horses for a short interview before they perform on stage in KL for the first time. Stevens is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most sought after performers, being an incredible singer, songwriter and presenter who’s career is skyrocketing.
Bursting into the scene as a teenager, she started off performing in the Australian premiere of Rent: The Musical. From there Stevens was in constant demand and it was her Helpmann nominated performance in Oh, What A Night! that took her to greater heights and was asked to move to New York to front an all-girl group for Sony Music.
Despite her success and having worked with renowned performers like Mary J Blige and John Legend, she returned to her homeland and made it to the top 4 in The Voice Australia. She found a place in Australia’s heart, even being named the Australian Beyoncé and is so excited to be making a return to musical theatre this year in the Michael Jackson HIT musical “Thriller”!
Prinnie Stevens was approached by Thriller Live! but when they approached her, she was doing more recording and was signed to an American label. After much contemplation, she felt like it was a great way to step back into musical theatre. Getting to do musical theatre with Michael Jackson songs is the perfect fit for her – having all her worlds meld together as one - pop music, musical theatre and dance.
During the press conference the cast were asked about their most memorable moment while touring around the world and the cast mentioned it was the vibrant and talented crew and performers working on the show together. To them, everyone on stage is just as significant as the next and they encourage each other and are inspired by Michael every day.
The cast of Thriller Live are positive that Malaysians will give them a delightful response and said that the energy has been contagious since landing in KL with high expectations for Malaysians to really BRING IT during their shows!
