The concert-style show opens at the Alhambra on Monday, September 20 and runs until the following Saturday.

It features performances of a string of Jacko tracks, including Man In the Mirror, Billie Jean, Beat It, Earth Song and, of course, Thriller.

There are further tuneful treats in the form of I Want You Back, ABC and I'll Be There, all drawn from his time with The Jackson Five.

Fans are also being promised cleverly-choreographed routines that do full justice to Jacko's Moonwalk dance move talents.

Bradford Theatres general manager Adam Renton said: "I'm extremely excited about Thriller Live opening their autumn tour with us.

"It's the first time the show has toured on this scale in UK theatres, having only done arena tours previously.

"Thriller Live delivers high class entertainment suitable for everyone.

"With two hours of non-stop hits delivered by a talented cast and live band, audiences will be up on their feet."

Born in Indiana in the United States in 1958, Jacko shot to fame as a child star with The Jackson Five.

Massive solo success followed, earning him the nickname 'King of Pop' and no fewer than seven UK number ones.

Dogged in his later years by money troubles and controversy over his private life, Jackson died aged 50 in the summer of 2009.

* Ticket prices for Thriller Live's run at the Alhambra start at 12. For more details, visit the www.bradford-theatres.co.uk website or ring the box office 01274 432000.
