Man in the Mirror

Last week I had the privilege of seeing Man in the Mirror – The Michael Jackson Show at the Theatre Royal in Norwich and I have to say it was an absolute triumph. I’ve seen other MJ shows such as Thriller Live in the West End so it had a lot to live up to but man did it deliver. The shows premise is simple, a celebration of the music of the King of Pop. We were treated to all the hits sung by an amazing and talented cast.

And of course there was dancing, lots of dancing, a spectacle for the eyes. They performed all the classic routines but what set it apart from other shows was the little modifications they added to make it current (you have to see their version of Thriller) which I really enjoyed. But the best bit of the show is the audience participation. By the end everyone was on their feet and their was a total party atmosphere and one of the best nights I’ve had out in ages. I recommend this show to everyone.

I was even lucky enough to meet some of the cast after the show. I bumped into (OK, I grabbed) the super talented Ronnie Sumrall who was as far as we were concerned was the star of the show so I hope I didn’t traumatise him too much. It was a perfect end to a perfect night and all MJ fans should flock to this show if they get the chance.
L.O.V.E.




At the weekend I went on what has to be one of my most anticipated outings of the year, a trip to London’s West End to enjoy the amazing Thriller Live, and boy oh boy amazing just isn’t the word. Not being my first visit to the show (saw it in Norwich in 2007) I knew it would be a fantastic day out. As we entered London and passed the O2 Arena I was tinged with sadness knowing the awesomeness that should have taken place this summer. This made me even more determined to make this a day to remember.
