Author Description

My Life with Michael is an autobiographical look at director Gary Lloyd's journey working with the legacy of Michael Jackson. After ten years in London's West End, Thriller Live! has become one of the UK's longest-running musicals and has played around the world to over 5 million people. The book explores Lloyd's life growing up as a driven and determined male dancer in the 1980s and as an aspiring choreographer/director; and how the inspiration of Michael Jackson's work paved the way for this continued relationship. We see how the show is cast and follow the journey of various cast members around the world as Jackson's phenomenon continues breathing through this global hit show. Lloyd has documented many of the amazing, funny and sometimes unbelievable stories as he travels with this show, constantly developing it and documenting its behind the scenes narrative.
