Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' To Be Made Into Broadway Musical?

November 6, 2008
Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' To Be Made Into Broadway Musical?A musical interpretation of the video for Michael Jackson's hit song 'Thriller' is set to debut on Broadway, according to US media reports.

James Nederlander, an established name in New York and world theatre, is reported by the New York Post to be producing the musical.

The video for Jackson's 'Thriller', the title track from his album of the same name, features the singer dancing in a graveyard surrounded by zombies.

The 13-minute video, dubbed the "most successful music video" ever by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006, also includes a guest appearance from actress Ola Ray.

'Thriller' became the first album to top the charts simultaneously in the UK and US. At the height of its popularity, the record was selling one million copies a week.
