West End musicals - your questions answered
The long-running favourites are The Lion King, Les Misérables, Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera. For something newer, Hamilton, Six and Moulin Rouge! are among the most in-demand tickets in London.
You cannot go far wrong with a big-hearted classic. Les Misérables, The Lion King and Mamma Mia! are crowd-pleasers that need no prior knowledge, while The Phantom of the Opera gives you the full grandeur of a West End theatre.
Most musicals run around 2 hours 30 minutes including one interval, though some are a little shorter or longer. The exact running time and interval details are listed on every show page so you can plan your evening.
Many are. The Lion King, Matilda, Wicked and Paddington The Musical are firm family favourites. Others, such as The Book of Mormon, are aimed squarely at adults. Always check the age guidance on the show page, as most theatres do not admit under-3s.
Book early, and look at midweek matinees, which are almost always cheaper than weekend evenings. Our cheap tickets page rounds up the West End musicals with the lowest prices right now.
The West End is London's equivalent of Broadway, the heartland of commercial theatre in the UK, centred on Theatreland. Many musicals transfer between the two, but each has its own distinct shows and character, and London tickets are often better value than their New York counterparts.
