The productions we’re used to aren’t the only places the stars gather to dazzle patrons in the West End. For a limited time, you can see the most renowned performers closer than ever.
West End LIVE is an event like no other, where the biggest names in theatre put on a special type of show for a whole weekend.
In the heart of London at Trafalgar Square, you can join singalongs, get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to previously unseen content, and enjoy the magic of stage performance in an open-air setting.
West End LIVE 2023 was our biggest spectacle yet; here are some of the highlights from this year’s event for you to whet your appetite for future editions.
The United Feeling of Excitement
Anybody who’s been to a West End show knows that unmatchable, almost tangible, euphoria of camaraderie among the adoring fans in an enclosed theatre room, but have you ever considered what it might be like with thousands in attendance?
West End LIVE is free and has opened its arms to so many visitors throughout this special weekend and the buzz around the place was simply palpable. As the event gets increasingly larger each year, we expect an even greater number of people to attend the event organised by Westminster City Council and Official London Theatre next year.
Interviews and Exclusive Access
Within the features of West End LIVE are face-to-face interactions with some of the most well-known names in performing art. As an attendee, you’ll be privy to more details on what happens during the production process than anybody else.
All your favourite performers from the best shows in town, like The Lion King, Frozen, The Tina Turner Musical, The Phantom of the Opera, and many more, will be there to entertain and excite alike. You can get tickets for regular listings of these theatre performances here.
Introducing New People to Live Performances
Do you have a friend or family member that you think would love the West End but has never got around to attending a show? This could be just the event to bring them to as a way to launch their fascination with great theatre. As a day out, West End LIVE is a fantastic opportunity to spend a day in the capital
At the Official London Theatre, we want to showcase our list of shows to as many people as possible to share the love. We feel that one of the best ways to do this is through word of mouth. This is why we believe Theatre Tokens could be a great present as a way to give the gift of a new experience to them.
In three years to 2022, theatre performances in London have gone up in number by almost 5%, making it more accessible than ever. See what all the fuss is about at the Official London Theatre website.
