Thriller To Receive The Broadway Treatment?
Filed under: Broadway Babies > Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson rumors never get old and are always fairly wacky!
The latest one, though, is actually true.
The iconic video for Thriller will be be adapted for the stage by producer James L. Nederlander, and, yes, it will include music from the Thriller album, as well as Off The Wall.
Nederlander says it will go something along the lines of "Girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy has big secret, now what?"
Sounds…thrilling.
No one knows who will pen the book…or choreograph, or direct.
Which makes us wonder if it will actually happen!
But if and when it does, we'll probably be there!

No Bowie, Radiohead or Daft Punk at Coachella 2009

its pen the play not book btw
WHO CARES!THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO NO ONE WILL GO TO SEE IT.
WASN'T EXPECTING THAT COMMING…
Anything for a buck or two.
I SMELLLL (cough cough)…. BULLSHIT!!
Now Perez with all the shows closing on Broadway do you really buy into this and really believe it is true… or do you think we are that dumb????
WHAT'S THAT THING ON HIS FACE?
Cut it out Jacko!
I would see it…. only if MJ is not in it!
LMFAOO AT THE KID IN THE BACK
HAHAHHAHA
SOUNDS REALLY KICK ASS!!!! michael jackson is a legend…
I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, but this cracks me up in a good way. I'll bet that would make an *awesome* musical. I'd totally be there to see it.
wow…..maybe your love story with teddy will be next…..you know, boy meets dog….they fall in love………dog's sphincter fails…..boy meets new dog….and so on
Hahahahahahhahha!! Wow that's stupid! BTW, I would be scare too if I was that little kid in the back. Haha.
Doesn't it sound like the Twilight premise…?
There's no way in Hell you would find me supporting anything that POS will earn money on, but I guess pedophiles stick together?
Um, that is the plot of every vamipire/werewolf movie out there. Sounds like they just want an excuse to hand some money over to Michael.
Wasn't he a happy black boy, until his father raped him?
Now he is just a sad white woman.
Shum on
Re: tigger – So true….LOL!!!!
there is a westend show in london called 'Thriller' based on Michael Jackson actually.
Why does ANYONE give this freak a minute of free publicity?!?!?!?!?!?!
dude this already exists in the UK!
every time you defy (or attempt to defy Jacko) he throws a phalanx of lawyers on your white, honky ass..he isn't a freak with no future as much as he is just another Hollywood asshole
The big secret is that he has sleep overs with little boys. Why make a play about a pedophile?
omg it sounds like twilight and that is my favorite movie
it better not rip off twilight i mean seriously
although michael jackson is a legend and and idol of mine i love him
so maybe i will go see it but if it ripps of twilight then i am gone
This guy has lost his mind, he looks like a crazy bag lady….
wow a bunch of preteen haters on this blog. Michael will always be the King of Pop –a legend — the man that has the biggest selling album of ALL TIME, WORLDWIDE. but of course, anyone born after 92 doesn't appreciate what they don't know smh. Michael has a tremendous heart and has donated over $350 million to charity, including profits from tours. He is genuinely generous and has a heart of gold. It's a shame people take advantage of that. He's AMAZING!
this is boring…
actually thriller is set to open in london on the west end in feb. check the theatre listings.
Wonder how many little boys he can buy with the money he'll get from this.
I always thought that Michael Jackson should license a Thriller movie. The name alone should net him a franchise film series…even books.
OMG, THAT FAT KID IN THE BACK LOOKS REALLY SCARED!!!!!
