Must-see musicals

London is a global hub for musicals. Many of the most iconic shows in theatre history have premiered or performed there, so a trip to London theatres means you're guaranteed to see the best of the best in entertainment. No matter what genre, musical style, or era you prefer your musicals in, there are musicals in London for you. Browse all the musical theatre on London stages right now, and book tickets on Box Office.

For first-time theatregoers, a long-running fan favorite like Wicked, The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, or Les Misérables is a great place to start. These shows feature large casts, grand and spectacular design, and songs that even non-theatre fans have likely heard. Some of these, like the Disney musicals, are also great options if you're seeing a musical with kids.

You can also hear familiar music by beloved pop artists at musicals in the West End, including Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and Mamma Mia! Or, you can take a chance on an entirely new show — either a world-premiere musical or a musical that was critically acclaimed or award-winning abroad, but is now debuting in London for the first time. Popular new musicals have showcased music in genres like rock, pop, folk, country, gospel, and everything in between.

Frequently asked questions

If you want to check out a musical but don't know where to start, opt for a tried-and-true long-runner that audiences continue to see after many years. Some West End staples include The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Wicked, The Book of Mormon, Jersey Boys, and Mamma Mia!

Where can I see a musical in London?

You can see musicals all over London. Most major musicals play at the theatres in the West End, but Off-West End venues in other neighborhoods, from major institutions like the National to small, intimate venues, also put on musicals. These include new works and revivals, and some successful productions will transfer to the West End.

What is the price range for musical tickets in London?

Prices for musical tickets in London vary, though the average is approximately £50. Dress circle and balcony seats further back in the theatre, seats at Off-West End musicals, and seats bought early tend to cost less than more expensive stalls tickets closer to the stage or for a particularly in-demand show. No matter what seating section or price point you buy for, though, your seat will provide a great view of all the action.
