Musicals
The triple-threat of music, dance and drama and another staple of the London theatre scene. There are plenty of musicals on the West End, but it’s the Off West End where you’ll find the new stuff, so don’t be afraid to jump in!

Ordinary Days, London Theatre Workshop – Review
If you are a fan of (Broadway) musicals performed lovingly and skilfully this will be right up your street.
-
Urinetown, St. James Theatre – Review
Urinetown brings to life a dystopian future in superb neo-noir steampunk style - a cult theatrical classic in the making.
-
Ushers: The Front Of House Musical, Charing Cross Theatre – Review
This production is everything a musical should be and more. A cheeky take on the life behind the scenes at a West End theatre; a must see for even the most reluctant musical goer. A fantastic night out.
-
Hero, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
The makings of a good show are definitely here, but the execution is lacking.
-
The Mistress Cycle, The Landor Theatre – Review
This song-cycle is well-performed and the actresses are great to watch and listen to, but the story lacks direction.
-
The Musical Detective Agency, The Space – Review
This is a brave, high energy piece packed with talent and good intentions, but it slightly misses the mark.
-
Grantley’s Show, The Poor School – Review
An entertaining evening which showcased the talents of the students very effectively, but which was lacking in variety.
-
Ray Shell’s Back to Black, The Pheasantry – Review
Ray Shell is a great singer and talented entertainer, with charm, poise, intelligence and wonderful sense of humour. He knows how to work an audience and makes his show feel like a private party. A must see for musical theatre…
-
Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, White Bear Theatre – Review
Elegies isn’t a perfect musical, but it is brilliantly executed in this production. Both joyful and touching!
-
Tell Me on a Sunday, The Duchess Theatre – Review
Webb is not as dynamic or strong as she once was but if you want to quench your thirst for nostalgia, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
