Stars on stage - your questions answered

These are West End productions led by well-known names, whether screen actors, recording artists or stage stars. It is your chance to see a familiar face performing live, often just a few rows away.

Current highlights include Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, The Devil Wears Prada and Kinky Boots. Casts on these productions are chosen to draw a crowd, so it is worth booking ahead.

Casts change over the course of a run, and lead performers do not appear at every performance. If you are booking specifically to see one person, check the current casting on the show page and be aware that understudies may go on.

They can be, as a famous name tends to drive up demand and the best seats sell fast. Booking early gives you the widest choice of prices, and midweek matinees are usually better value than weekend evenings.

Each show page lists the current company and any headline names attached to the production. Casting is announced in blocks, so if a run is long there may be more than one star across its dates.
