Concerts and Musicals in Concert on the West End stage

A guide to concerts in the West End, including staged musical concerts.

The West End has exploded in recent years with staged concert versions of hit musicals. Some of the shows are new and building up to a full West End run, others are try-outs of work in development, and some are classic, much-loved musicals that are being revived and reinvented for whole new generations through staged concert versions.

This guide rounds up concerts playing in the West End, including general music concerts hosted in West End theatres, and staged concert versions of West End and Broadway shows.
