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!

Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story, Greenwich Theatre – Review
A gripping tale of obsession and devotion gone too far, with an atmosphere and storyline which certainly did ‘thrill me.’
-
Apartment 40C, St James Studio – Review
An engaging new kid on the block that has the potential to contend with the heavyweight musicals of the West End.
-
Fashion Victim The Musical, The May Fair Hotel – Review
A badly organised play with an unapologetically under-rehearsed leading man. Could have been a good piece of high camp theatre but ended up more like a cheesy backwater panto.
-
Mmm Hmmm, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
An out of this world a cappella production that needs to be seen to be believed!
-
Be Bop A Lula, Ambassadors Theatre – Review
A rousing tribute to some of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest icons.
-
Jerry’s Girls, St James Theatre – Review
A thoroughly enjoyable vocal tour de force. A sheer delight of an evening.
-
John and Jen, Drayton Arms – Review
A strong cast do their best with a book that tries to do too much.
-
She Loves Me, Landor Theatre – Review
Light, frothy musical entertainment that’s easy on both the eye and ear.
-
Happy Ending, Arcola Theatre – Review
A valiant effort, but not quite the riposte to cancer one hoped to see.
-
Molly Wobbly, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
This is fearlessly filthy British humour at its best, with a welcome measure of incredibly camp choreography.
