Tina The Tina Turner Musical

Musical Dramas: The best dramatic musicals on the London stage

Our selection of great Musical Dramas in the West End. 

Whilst many of these shows have flashes of wit and humour, these top West End Shows are inherently dramatic at heart.

There is a dramatic musical for every taste: from acclaimed stage biographies of stars with extraordinary lives and careers, including Tina – The Tina Turner Musical and Jersey Boys about Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons; to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new retelling of Cinderella, and his classic musical epic The Phantom of the Opera; and Kander and Ebb’s award-winning musical Cabaret, now in an spectacular site specific cabaret club at the Playhouse Theatre
