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!

A Christmas Carol – The Musical, Tabard Theatre – Review
Grab a ticket and get filled with mulled wine and festive spirit. In the words of Charles Dickens and Tiny Tim, God Bless us, everyone one!

Seussical The Musical, The Arts Theatre – Review
The cute but slightly canned production will be perfect for kids and families, but may be lacking for adult theatre fans.

Ernest, Etcetera Theatre – Review
This is a fun idea that is perhaps limited by resource.
-
Thriller Live, Lyric Theatre – Review
There is no story but for my money, that doesn’t matter. The singing is stunning, the dancing incredible and I dare anyone to come out of the theatre without a spring in their step and a smile on their face.

From Here to Eternity , Shaftesbury Theatre – Review
Harvey’s direction may lack a bit of punch but it delivers a tremendous amount of fun and frolics. Brilliant, good-feel, swinging musical.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, New Wimbledon Theatre – Review
All-out family fun! Keeps to the standard of the original, but provides the added benefit of live performances.
-
Divas Unsung, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
A mixed evening and probably most appreciated by die-hard musical fans.
-
Another Way, The Cockpit – Review
Leave your cynicism at the door and enjoy this fun and heart-warming new musical. It’s a treat the West End can’t match.

The Great Gatsby Musical, Riverside Studios
While the production provides an enjoyable viewing experience, it being a musical adds nothing to Gatsby as a story.
